- I'm superstitious about birthdays. All goes well and you're in for a stellar year.

Someone pukes hotdog on your shoes and, well, tread carefully.

Planning is very important.

From the cake -devil chocolate, of course- to the guest list.

But no matter how much attention you pay to every detail,

some things are out of your control. So what should you do

when it rains on your Teddy Bear picnic?

Cancel, or change the theme to mud soccer?

- Holly! We're gonna be late for school!

- "Barnyard Slumber Party, 7PM Saturday." Oh.

Hon, we have a serious problem. - Not enough glitter.

- I'll get the glue. - No, no, no, no. Mr. Hilson said if I'm late for bio again,

I get detention. We need to go! - Not that you'd understand, because you're... you,

but birthday invites set the tone for the whole party.

- Mom, can you please talk some sense into her? - He's right, we need ribbon!

- Hm! - Ah yes. Birthday Mom has arrived.

- People are still talking about my legendary football stadium cake I made

for your 14th birthday. - I can't believe you care more about these invites

than your son's education. - Aw, sweetheart, you're right.

Which is why if you helped us, it would go a lot faster. - Uh-uh. You know how I feel

about glitter. - Consider this exposure therapy.

You know what?

On second thought, just go get the lunches from the fridge, OK?

Here's Piper's invite. - Aw!

(clears throat) - How is she, by the way?

- Fine? I don't know. She's been kinda busy the last few days.

- OK.

And done! You get your bag, I'll pack these up.

- Mr. Hilson's never gonna believe I was late due to glitter. I'm leaving.

(laughing) - Wait!

If I ever get that angsty, you'll let me know, right? - Absolutely.

- Thank you. Mwah!

Love you, Birthday Mom!

Savannah!

- Sorry, Holls, can't come.

- But you've come to every single one of my birthdays

since we were little kids. - I know,

but Piper's birthday party is the same day as yours

and she handed out her invitations first.

- But her birthday isn't until the end of the month. You must have read the date wrong.

- Didn't you get your invite? - Oh yeah, totally.

I just haven't had time to look over it yet.

Anyhoo, keep your invite! I'll clear things up with Piper. - Good morning, class.

Today, we travel back in time to 1939.

As the spark of World War II ignites, countries must decide:

should they side with the Axis?

Or the Allies?

- Piper!

Piper!

Piper! - What is it?

- I think there might have been a wee bit of a misunderstanding.

You booked your birthday party the same day as my actual birthday.

- Holly! Eyes up front, please! - Sorry!

Anyhoo, it's no biggie. You'll just have to push your party. - I don't think so.

- But your birthday isn't until the end of the month. - Shh! You're gonna miss

the best part! - Right! Sorry. Won't happen again.

You can have any other weekend!

Here's your invite! Do you have one for me?

Maybe we could have our birthday parties together?

- No thanks. And sorry, I don't have an invite for you.

Cost cutting measures. I had to let some people go.

- Excuse me? - Things just weren't working out,

so there were some terminations. You understand.

- I really don't. Why are you being so mean?

Is it something I did? - Alright, Holly.

See me after class. You're gonna learn about the Vichy regime one way or another!

- Amy!

Amy Abbasi! SOS!

Piper's been possessed by an evil spirit. She didn't invite me to her birthday party,

which is the same day as mine for some reason.

- I tried to tell her not to do this.

- You knew about this? Why is she being so... so...

quarrelsome?! - We got her mom fired.

- We most certainly did not. - Well, that's how she sees it.

Remember the whole Pickle Factory poisoning the creek debacle?

- It was last week. - Right. Well, to cover the costs

of the new filtration system they had to let some people go.

And, well, Piper's mom was one of them.

- Oh my gosh.

But you had just as much to do about the protest as I did. Why is she only mad at me?

- Because your mom is a bigwig at the company,

so Piper assumes that she had something to do with the decision.

- My mom doesn't handle that type of stuff.

- I know this sucks, and Piper is being supes irrational.

I am 100% on your side.

But what can you do?

Piper handed out her invites first.

Sorry, gotta go. - But what should I do?!

- Change your party?!

- They've hung people for less. - Than refusing

to drive your little sister to a friend's house?

- You broke a promise. That's treachery.

- Yeah, but I also promised Lyla I'd help her study.

- Biology?!

- I get it, Robbie. A bro's got needs.

- Can't you just watch wrestling here?

- Levi's cousin is the only one who has pay-per-view!

- It's a must-watch match! - Sorry, Lyla's already

on her way here. I'll make it up to you. I promise.

- I've seen how much promises mean to you.

- This stinks.

- Don't count us out just yet. Your cousin's place

is just 20 miles of straight country road away, right?

- What, you wanna hitchhike? - No way.

That's super dangerous. I've got a much better idea.

- Not to critique

your table-setting methods, but it's spoon on the outside,

knife on the inside.

- Are you mansplaining how to make a table?

- Martha Stewart taught me. - Yeah?

- Suddenly lost my appetite.

For the rest of my life. - How was your day, kiddo?

- Did people like my-- our invitations?

- Oh yeah! It's just... as I was handing them out, I was thinking...

- Oh no. She's sentient. - It's just, I invite the same eight girls every year,

and this year, I was wondering if I should be more inclusive.

I would hate for someone to get their feelings hurt just because they didn't get an invitation.

- So you want to invite more people? - Yeah. My whole class!

- Uh... including boys?!

- A co-ed sleepover?! What do you think this is, The O. C?

- No, Dad. Not a sleepover. Just a party.

Picture this: a stage in the barn. Lights. Music.

- Karaoke! - Oh my goodness, YES!

- Sorry... just got swept away in the moment.

- OK, OK, wait. Did something

-or someone- change your mind?

- No! - Mm-hmm.

- My 14th birthday marks a new chapter in my life

and I see no better way to celebrate that than to surround myself

with each and every person, girl OR boy, that has influenced me along the way.

- OK, but no spin-the-bottle. - We won't even tap the shoe!

- They're coming up with new ones. Alright. On one condition.

- Name it! - I get to...

try out my Shania on the karaoke machine. - YES! Whatever you want!

Thank you thank you thank you!

Alright, well, I'm going to leave you guys to...

whatever all this is. - What? We're just setting the table.

- Uh-huh.

- How is this not dangerous?!

This is the worst idea of all time. Please tell me we're not really doing this.

- Will you be quiet? I'm trying to learn to drive, here.

- But-- - Shh!

Got it.

(engine starts)

- Oh my gosh, we're moving! - Oh my gosh, we're moving! - I was wrong.

This is the best idea ever! We need tunes. (turns radio on)

- Um... oops!

- Think of all the drive-thrus we can drive through!

- Well, we're not going anywhere unless you be quiet and let me concentrate.

- Chill! There's literally nothing out here you can hit.

I always knew we would do a best friends' road trip, I just never thought it would be so soon!

(double thud)

- What was that? - Nothing. Keep going.

- No! We totally hit something! - Probably just a rock...?

Phew. It's just a turtle.

- JUST a turtle? JUST a turtle?!

- It may be a tortoise.

- He's still alive! - See?! Not a murderer!

- He looks in distress. What do we do?!

- Mouth to mouth? If you're not afraid of getting salmonella poisoning.

- Forget wrestling!

This is a medical emergency. We're done.

- But-- - We're done.

- I know you already RSVP'd to Piper's party,

but I didn't want you to feel left out. - A boy-girl party?

Karaoke?! Thanks. - You can always change your mind.

It's a woman's right to choose.

Think you can make it? - Yeah, I'll check my schedule.

- Holly, what is this about?! - I know, I know.

Not as elaborate as my last ones, but you have to give me points for getting them out

so quickly. Do you like the little paint flecks? I used the technique

that we learned in art class and your face is looking very angry right now

so I'm gonna do that thing where I continue talking--

- Better? Good.

Now, how could you?! Everyone is canceling on Piper's party.

I know she was being a jerk before, but that does not give you the right to be one, too.

- Need I remind you that you're the one who told me to change my party?

- I meant change the date, not try to make it better so nobody goes to Piper's.

- I'm just trying to give people a choice. What was I supposed to do,

just not have a birthday party at all? Was I just supposed

to sit home alone on my birthday, refreshing social media

to see how much fun my friends were having without me? - I know it sucks,

but sometimes you have to be the bigger person. - She stole my birthday!

- Don't be so willfully obtuse. - She's the one who's being obtuse.

And acute! And the other angle. - You mean right angle?

Are you saying Piper is right? - Do not try to trap me with math, Amy.

- Piper is going through a lot.

Did you even try to understand?

Now the only person left going to Piper's party is me!

(bell ringing)

- You're not coming to my birthday party?

And you're seriously gonna take her side?

She's the one who started this! - This isn't about sides, I just need you--

- You know what? Tell it to Piper. 'Cause I don't wanna hear it.

Now come over here and help us with the next verse! And where's your brother Robbie? Robbie!

- I can't believe you're 14! - How do you feel?

- I don't know. Pretty much the same? - You mean to tell me

that you've been 14 for only a minute and you don't feel like a totally new person?

So what are you and Amy gonna do today? I love it that you always spend your birthday together.

- I don't know yet,

but it's going to be the best day ever no matter what.

- Uh, heck yeah! We've got a barn to decorate!

- Do I have to? - Hey, get in here, come on. - Young lady, move it.

Count 'em, pops. - Five, six, seven, eight!

(birthday wishes)

- That was amazing! - Holly,

this birthday party is so cool. - Thank you!

- Buckle up, Braedon's gonna do Shawn Mendes--

and he is not a good singer.

- You got the stuff? - Took a while,

but yeah. Everything's in here.

Some worms,

plants from the pond,

fish pellets...

- Good. We gotta keep feeding this little guy until he gets better.

Ain't that right, Samson?

- Why isn't he moving? - He's a turtle.

They're slow. Oh no! He's barely breathing!

I think he's in distress! Levi, look up what to do

in a turtle health crisis. This is bad, this is so, so bad!

- It doesn't say. I think we should just take him to a vet.

- But that would mean I'd have to tell my dad.

- Or we can just take the car again.

(pop song)

- Pretty awesome party, if I do say so. But where's Amy?

- At Piper's. - Oh, are they coming together?

- Not exactly. - Well, did they not get a ride?

'Cause I can go pick them up. - They don't wanna be here.

And I'm not sure I want them to be, either. - Hey...

Holly, Amy is your best friend.

- Who chose Piper's birthday over mine.

- Piper is having a party tonight too?

- She tried to sabotage my birthday because her mom got fired.

And she thinks it was your fault.

- So that's why you wanted to have a bigger party.

Holly, I really wish you would've told me earlier,

'cause we could've figured out a way to make it work for everyone.

I mean, imagine how she must feel.

- How she feels?! So you're taking her side, too?

- Honey, she just moved to this town, and her mother, who is a single parent, just got fired.

I mean, it must feel like her whole world is falling apart.

- That doesn't give her the right to ruin my birthday party on purpose!

- Check your attitude. You sound like a spoiled brat.

You've really disappointed me.

Well, enjoy your party. I hope it's everything that you wanted.

(knocking)

- Come in. - Hey,

I nabbed one for you before your mom took them out to the barn.

Red velvet, your favourite.

Oh... did you have a baby?

- His name is Samson and I think he's in trouble.

- It's OK, honey. Let me see.

Huh.

What happened to him? - Promise you won't get mad?

- I promise to react appropriately to the situation.

- We gotta take him to a vet.

- No, no, no, not until you tell me what happened. - I hit him with the car.

- ...What? - Everyone was treating me

like some stupid little kid who doesn't matter, and all I wanted was someone to drive us

to Levi's cousin's place so we could watch wrestling,

but everyone was falling all over Holly for her birthday and Robbie broke his promise, so...

Are you OK? - No, I'm not OK.

That's an incredibly dangerous thing to do.

- Do you have any idea how frustrating it is to have to depend on people for everything?

- You could've killed yourself! You could've killed someone else!

- I know.

And don't you dare tell me that I've been punished enough by watching this turtle suffer.

- I wasn't gonna tell you that that at all.

Listen, we will figure out a suitable punishment

when we get back from the vet's, huh?

Let's go. I'm driving.

- Come on, Piper, don't cry. It'll be OK.

We can have fun just the two of us.

- I can't believe this is happening. - It's not because people

don't like you. It's all Holly's fault.

She's being a total jerk. - I can't believe you're even friends with her!

- Right now, me neither.

C'mon, it's gonna be OK.

- What was that?!

- So now what do we do? - Well, I'm not thrilled that you stole the car.

But I'm glad you told me the truth. That takes guts.

The vet said he wouldn't survive in the wild anymore, but he might make a good pet.

If you're willing to look after him.

- So I'm a turtle mom now? - Hmm...

"Don't let me down, Heather!"

Also you're grounded. - At least I won't be alone.

Isn't that right, little guy?

(crying softly)

- I'm glad I settled with this outfit, 'cause we would've been wearing the same thing.

Not the time for jokes, I get it.

So is it because of Piper's birthday?

The pickle factory? Her mom being fired?

- How do you know all this?

- I do a lot of listening. It's amazing what people say in public.

- If you're here to tell me I'm a horrible person, you can save your breath.

That's all I've been hearing all night, and frankly, that song's getting

a little old. - No, I'm not gonna say that, it's your birthday!

Standing up to the pickle company was brave. If people can't see that-- their fault.

- This is my party and they don't even miss me.

- So forget about them. The world is bigger than this stupid town.

- I just wanna escape.

- So pack your bags.

- What? - Let's hit the road. I'm serious.

- Well, the only thing I want for my birthday now...

is to get out of here.
