"Stuck without a Ride" is the fifteenth episode in Season 1 of Stuck in the Middle. It aired on July 20, 2016 to 1.3 million viewers.[1]

Summary[]

Harley needs to get to Boston for an inventor’s contest, but with dad away and mom busy with the rest of the kids, Harley is forced to turn to Rachel for help. 

Plot[]

Harley wants her mom to give her a ride to Boston this weekend but Suzy is too busy to take her. So, Harley tries to convince Rachel to go take her driving test since she already has a permit. Rachel refuses because having a driver's license means more responsibilities. Nevertheless, Harley persists until Rachel agrees to take the test.

After doing a few practice rides, they are confident that Rachel will pass the test. To Harley's surprise, Rachel fails. Rachel and Harley wonder why she failed. After some digging, they realize that Phil, the driving examiner, was Suzy's classmate. They conclude that Phil failed Rachel as revenge for something that Suzy may have done to him back in school. They assume that their mom broke Phil's heart. To make it up to Phil, the girls invite Phil to the house and treat him nicely in front of Suzy hoping that he would forgive her for whatever she did.

Eventually, Suzy reveals that Phil didn't fail Rachel because of revenge or anything. She is the one who asked him to fail Rachel because she wasn't ready to see her little girl grow up so quickly.

Meanwhile, Ethan is filming another one of his films for his class. He wants Lewie and Beast to star in it as Detectives Peeby and Jay. At first, the twins have trouble connecting to the characters. However, after Ethan helping them "become" their characters, Lewie and Beast get carried away in the drama. They continue arguing as Peeby and Jay even after Ethan finishing his film.
