Eden Sher: 'The Middle' Season Premiere Pics!

Charlie McDermott and Eden Sher chat a bit while swinging on a swing set in this new still from the season premiere of The Middle.

In the episode “Last Whiff of Summer,” Frankie’s (Patricia Heaton) plans to recreate the magic of her own childhood summers are foiled when Mike (Neil Flynn) lets it slip that Axl (McDermott) is his favorite Heck child, and Frankie tries to coax the kids into telling them who their favorite parent is.

Meanwhile, when Frankie and Mike discover that Axl failed English during the past school year, they force him to make it up in summer school, otherwise he could jeopardize any chance of getting a college sports scholarship after graduation.

Brick (Atticus Shaffer) takes up growing a tomato for his summer project; and Sue (Sher) tries to bond with a reluctant Mike and to get him involved in different activities with her — which she plans to document in a giant scrapbook.

Psst, stay tuned for our exclusive shoot with Eden!

“Last Whiff of Summer” premieres Wednesday, September 26th @ 8PM ET/PT on ABC. 15+ pics inside…
