It isn’t until she takes a job at a local florist that Gidget realizes she must be able to drive to make flower deliveries. Gidget gets Larue to drive the delivery truck while she’s learning how to drive from her father, but the greatest TV dad since Ward Cleaver has very little patience when it comes to teaching teenagers how to drive.
