Happy Day Before Your Birthday!

Do not do that!

Sorry. I'm just excited because as I said it's the day before

your birthday!

And now they're staying on the floor.

Okay, so I was thinking, we throw a huge party.

Tons of food! Millions of guests! You descend in on a

floating catwalk, wearing a red sequin dress.

So you're making a list of the stuff we're not going to do?

'Cause, as you know, everything you mentioned? So not me.

I know, I was kidding. I can't wait to do what we

always do - eat a cake and watch a Craig Brooks movie,

which could be a little awkward given that he's living with us.

Good point. We'll find another movie.

But please promise me something.

I know, I know, triple chocolate fudge cake.

Same as every year.

Yes. But no. Promise me you won't tell anyone it's my

birthday tomorrow.

Fine, I won't tell anyone. Except maybe Craig?

Anyone. Pinky swear.

Mom, I'm not five. I don't need to pinky swear.

Yes, you do.

(SIGHS) Whatever.

Actually, double pinky swear.

There's no such thing.

Do it.

Uh-oh. Double pinky swear. What did I walk in on?

Not even Nate?

Not even Nate what?

Nate already knows.

Knows what?

Forget you know.

Since I don't know what I'm supposed to know,

and then totally forget I know. Which I don't know.

I'm just going to go. Later.

♪♪♪

Remember. Secret.

Fine.

Guess what I found out? Wait! Where's Bo?

Bo! This is important.

BO: Incoming!

DIAMOND: Okay, so here's the deal. I found out that Beth's

birthday is tomorrow.

She didn't tell me.

Sophia talks in her sleep. A lot. It's super creepy.

Anyway, so we're going to throw Beth a huge birthday party.

Yes, to thank her for being so good to us.

No, because Diamond loves throwing parties.

Two things can be true at the same time.

Besides, who doesn't like parties? And trust me,

it'll be everything Beth loves!

You're bringing in animals of all shapes and sizes?

And you're giving them party hats? Wait. Where do you get

animal party hats?

Yeah, I'm not doing any of that. This is going to be

a sophisticated, elegant party, not a zoo. But no one say

anything to Beth or Sophia. For reals.

I'll have to get Beth something. Something good.

Duh, we all do!

Yeah, but my gift has to be extra special and meaningful

'cause...

'Cause I'm an adult and adults are supposed to get each other

nice things, and I think I left the shower on.

I'm going to go check.

He's totally into her.

Eww.

Love is a question wrapped in a statement bundled up into the

unknowable knowing. You know?

♪♪♪

'K, so I'm picturing a cake that's four feet high,

wrapped in god leaf. The edible kind, obviously.

And it should have a glittering star that rises out of the top

and lights up. Oh, and I need it by tomorrow. Early.

Let's see if I got all that.

So you're not a fast writer? 'Cause I can totally slow down.

Don't. No. You know all that stuff you just you blabbed

about? Not happening. If you want a tall cake, buy ten and

stack them on top of each other. So what name do you

want on it?

Beth.

(DOOR CLOSES)

Beth!

"Beth Beth"? Okay. Is there a dash in that?

Hi, Diamond. What are you up to?

Me?! Oh, nothing. You know, just talking to my friend

Ginger, over here.

We're not friends.

Okay, Ginger, can I order one of your...

Hold on. Just gotta finish with this one first.

So the cake...

Cake?! What cake?! Are you hearing this? She's hilarious!

Is she? I don't remember her being particularly funny.

I'm not.

Funny! So funny! She should take this cake comedy show

on the road, am I right?

You know what? I'm going to make my lunch at home.

So where did we land on the gold leaf? Yes? No? Talk to me.

SOPHIA: Sometimes parent

So we're helping ours get together.

My mom. My best friend.

Her dad - huge movie star.

And things might get a little crazy. Okay, a lot crazy.

But that's just life in Star Falls.

♪♪♪

Boys, I did it. I made a personal gift for Beth to show

her how I feel.

So you do have feelings for her.

Friend feelings, Phoenix. Friendly feelings of friendship.

That's it.

Got it.

Now give me your honest opinion.

That's awful.

Well, maybe not that honest. You guys don't think this is

a good likeness?

It looks like a horse.

Well, maybe you don't appreciate art, Bo. Phoenix, what do you

think?

It's, well, it's not... not not good.

Sorry, Dad. Total horse.

I showed it to my agent, and the director, and Angie

in craft service! They all loved it.

Because you're a big movie star. No one tells you the truth.

That is so not true! And you know what? I like it,

and I'm going to give it to Beth. Now, if you'll excuse me,

I'm going to go find a frame for my not horse painting!

Okay, Beth cannot see this. We need to fix it.

You're going to teach Dad how to paint?

No, he's a lost cause. Tonight I'm going to paint

a better painting and switch them out when he's not looking.

Bo, get my brushes.

No.

Then I'll get my brushes!

♪♪♪

So you got your mom's cake?

Yup. Triple chocolate fudge, same as every year.

Um, hello, strange chef person. And you're in our kitchen

because?

That's Bernard! He works on Dad's movie.

SOPHIA: Okay. Why is he here?

Why? Why? Why? 'Cause the catering truck blew up.

That's why.

Seriously? Was anyone hurt?

Thankfully no. It was a miracle. But traumatic. So can we talk

about something else? Like what's in that box?

What? This? They're my bran muffins! Whole big box of them.

'Cause, you know. Bran. I better take them upstairs

for safekeeping.

Who would steal...

Oh, well. Anyway, glad you're here. Need your help.

I get nervous when you say that.

What I'm about to tell you you cannot tell Sophia.

But she's my bro. I tell her everything.

First of all, she's a girl, not a bro. Second, you can't tell

Sophia because if you do, she'll tell Beth...

Diamond, I've never lied to Sophia. I'm not starting now.

It's a bro thing.

Again, girl, not bro. So I'm throwing Beth a huge surprise

party, and I need you to keep Sophia out of the way

for the rest of the day. Please, please, please?

(GROANS) What part of "I don't lie to her" did you not hear?

Pretty much all of it.

SOPHIA: Okay, bran muffins safely hidden. Want to watch TV?

I recorded seventeen episodes of Kids Who Can't Bake.

This week I think Chef Judy is going to make Caitlyn cry.

Or you can Nate could go anywhere but here.

What? Why would we do that?

Why? Why?

Why?

(GASPS) You know a secret.

No, I don't.

No, he doesn't.

Yes, he does. And you can't keep a secret from me. I'm your bro.

Girl, not bro. Why is that so hard?

Look, Soph, here's the thing...

See ya!

Are you kidding? This disguise gets me fifteen percent off

early bird dinners. Rice pudding? The best.

Yeah, who doesn't love rice pudding?

Right? But no raisins.

Obviously. Hey, not the point! Now what's the secret?

To rice pudding? I think it's the cream, and not overcooking

the rice, but...

Nate.

Diamond's throwing a surprise party for your mom,

and I'm supposed to keep you busy so you don't find out

and tell her.

What? But that's awful! You know my mom hates parties,

and she especially hates surprise parties.

I've got to find Diamond and make her call it off.

Yeah, good luck with that. She seemed pretty determined.

Fine.

Fine?

Yes, fine. If I can't stop Diamond from throwing the party,

then I have to stop Mom from going to the party.

Oh, nice. You know, I have another old man wig if you

and your mom want to...

It's a good disguise!

♪♪♪

Wow, you look terrible.

Not as terrible as my painting of Beth. I didn't have enough

time! I didn't capture her true essence! Her soul!

BO: Yeah, you're right. Let's just give her Dad's.

Way funnier.

No! This will have to do. True love is at stake!

Eww. Gross.

Oh.

Maybe.

Um, this place where we live. It's called home?

No!

Wow, that was loud.

I was just thinking, I'd like to take you for an

awesome birthday dinner at The Falling Owl.

But we were just there for birthday lunch.

And you know what they say, eating at the same place twice

on your birthday will bring a year of good luck.

Who says that?

(LAUGHS) Oh, mom! Your thirst for knowledge is contagious.

It makes me wonder what the dinner special is at

The Owl tonight. Fingers crossed for meatloaf.

You are acting very strange.

Diamond found out about your birthday and so we had to do

something special.

Thank you. It's a little overwhelming.

Usually we just...

DIAMOND: Check it out!

Is that a cake?

No, it's not a cake. It's ten cakes. The top two are coconut,

'cause, you know, not everyone likes coconut.

Make a wish, Beth.

I know what I wish for.

When you told me there was a party for my mom,

could you have mentioned it was here?

Okay, first of all, Diamond didn't share that detail with

me; and second, how come you came here?

Because of the party at our house.

But there's not a party at your house.

I know! I just assumed it would be at our house.

Oh.

Time to cut the cake!

Is that ten cakes? That is not structurally sound.

This is a disaster! My mom hates people making a big deal,

and this? This is a big deal.

True. So just to be clear, there's no party at your house,

right?

(PAPER CRUMPLING)

Do you like it?

Isn't this my lamp?

Yup.

Well, you really know my taste.

Cool. I took the bulb out. Just so you know.

Well, Bo, that was confusing. Who's next?

Aw, Dad, you really didn't have to.

Apparently you were talking in your sleep.

I was?! My subconscious is so annoying.

It's okay, honey.

No, I'm really sorry. And I'm sure you want to escape,

so I'll cover for you. I've got three different diversions

that are kind of my go-to's.

You know, Soph, I've got to say, I'm actually having fun.

You are? But...

Everyone's been so nice. And Diamond decorated.

With gold glitter?

And that ginormous cake.

Wasn't me.

Look mom, I'm glad you're pretending to like this.

What's wrong. Is your mom freaking out?

Weirdly, no. Look at her.

Yeah, she looks happy. So then why are you not happy?

Okay.

the way we always celebrate our birthdays. You know, how we stay

up late and watch a movie, and split a cake.

Just the two of us.

Oh, that's what I know that your mom wanted me to forget I know.

Exactly. But then Diamond threw this crazy, ridiculous,

over the top party without even telling me.

Well, maybe if you talked to your mom and Diamond

and stop talking about the painting.

Hey, maybe you could paint another painting.

We could all be in it.

That would be amazing! And then it would be less weird

hanging it in the living room. 'Cause it's kind of weird,

Yeah, I don't know. I broke my favourite brush

painting this one, and...

Ooh, and maybe a picture of my dad, too!

Look, Beth, I didn't paint that. Phoenix did. The boys switched

it because they didn't think the one I did was very good.

Looked like a horse.

Really?

Wow. It's just so colourful. And such... Colourful.

It's bad?

Yeah, pretty bad.

Wow. I guess people do just say what I want to hear.

She's been acting a little strange.

Is she avoiding us? Why would she be avoiding us?
