The group set up a game all around Ryan for his birthday which he does not want to celebrate. Ryan gives into the needs of everyone because they are all cheering at him. Ryan brings Steven home and they seem to sing together. Sonia then comes over to get some advice from Ryan so she stays to watch over Steven. Then when everyone gets to the same place Ryan is called to work because it's BS. Lauren sees through his act and gets annoyed with him. Lauren tells Ryan that he can fake it to make the others happy. Back to Sonia and Steven as they go shopping and she makes him do so much embarrassing things. Steven gets his mind back so he decides to make Sonia look pretty. Everyone then gets in the limo to celebrate Ryan's birthday. When everyone gets in the limo they see that it was Jamie planning his new birthday gift she planned before she died. When the other team go into the room they see that it is too romantic so Lauren gets everyone to get rid of everything to make it look more like the hunt. When Ryan walks in he sees Lauren on the bed of roses saying it is a birthday seduction. Then everyone tells him that it was a gift from Jamie. Just when everyone thinks it's over a violin player comes in and it turns out Mr. K and Anne share their love of Gene Kelly by doing their version of a famous dance which makes everyone have a party in the hotel room. After talking to his dead wife Ryan comes back in to join the party once again. OK return with a bad start but it was better at the end.

Fantastic!

This is a brilliant episode (another brilliant episode I'd like to add) of a show that has displayed real promise. It's living up to its premise by being both funny and heartfelt every episode, and it's certainly Matthew Perry's best comedy since a certain show called 'Friends' that you might remember.

There are so many great moments in this episode - so much is crammed into the twenty minutes. It's funny, it's sad, it's great quite frankly.

Even the little sub plot between Steven and Sonia is a great deal of fun too.

I can't recommend this episode highly enough, it's simply wonderful.
