Chim and Maddie say to each other that a big celebration is kinda stupid for a kid so little that she won't even remember. But they did so because they want to plan a surprise party for the other!

So Chim asks for bobby and hen's help, while maddie asks for buck and josh's. It's only when buck asks bobby for a recipe that the two realize that there are two different party in planning, so they start to plan a third, and actually only, party

It's a big thing, they rent some place with a big garden, and bobby cooks, hen learns to do balloon animals (karen is the real artist), buck organizes games for kids and adults.

So the day comes and neither maddie nor chim know, but they're grinning so hard cause they both think they're tricking the other. Albert drives them and with a weak excuse takes them to the real party.

Bobby swears he never saw chim so happy.

Plus when chim asks him why a party so big, bobby says "we celebrate every little step, and this is the first of many"

This is the chaotic family drama I want! Tim, this is the kind of chaos we need please and thank you 😭

I love this idea - the thought of them being so pleased with themselves and then ending up being surprised 😭😭 my heart!

“What’s happening Maddie? Where are mom and dad?”

He looked up at her with tears in his eyes, and Maddie felt her own eyes burn for her little brother’s sake. She couldn’t answer him, couldn’t even begin to explain what was going on, but she has a sneaking suspicion now that the women sitting down and watching them did. So she turned, wrapping her arms around Buck from the back to keep him close, and eyes them. “Okay, what the hell is going on?” That language probably isn’t the best, actually it was pretty PG compared to what she could have used, but they deserved to know why their parents have suddenly seemed to disappear off the face of the earth.

“Maddie, Buck, Margaret and Phillip Buckley, your mom and dad, they aren’t your real parents.”

Imagine Eddie asking Bobby for cooking lessons. He’s vague about the request, just says that he wants to be better at cooking so Christopher doesn’t always ask for takeout. Bobby starts with the simple stuff which Eddie appreciates, but after two “lessons” he asks Bobby how to make a particular dish, one that everybody knows is Buck’s favorite. Bobby doesn’t say anything, but invites Eddie over to his house to teach him how to make it. Eddie pointedly ignores the knowing looks Bobby and Athena share the entire time.

A week later he calls Bobby in a panic because he’s overcooked the meat and undercooked the veggies, but it’s Athena that answers the phone because Bobby is asleep. She tells him to calm down and wait fifteen minutes before hanging up the phone without another word. He doesn’t calm down because Buck is supposed to arrive in 20 minutes.

A knock on the door 10 minutes later sends him spiraling and he throws the door open with a weird apology he hasn’t even thought through, but stops short at seeing Athena standing there holding a warm pizza from Buck’s favorite place with a knowing smirk on her face.

“You’re overthinking it,” Athena says, passing over the pizza. “Feed him junk food and tell him you love him.”
