Summaries

  • Casey's hopes for the Sweet 16 of her dreams are thwarted by an unexpected trip to the hospital.
  • Casey (Ashley Leggat) hates surprises so much that she decides to plan her own sweet 16 surprise party a sophisticated dinner with five of her closest friends. When Derek (Michael Seater) gets wind of her plans, he decides it's his duty as Casey's stepbrother to "de lame ify" her lameness by adding a much needed element of surprise. Behind her back, he cancels her table reservation at Smelly Nellie's, books the entire restaurant, and makes plans for a surprise bash more to his liking. On the morning of her birthday, Casey wakes up feeling quite sick and only feels worse as the day progresses. Nora (Joy Tanner) is worried about appendicitis and insists on a trip to the emergency room. Casey is horribly disappointed. Instead of eating duck à l'orange with her friends, she'll be spending her 16th birthday in the hospital. When Nora asks Derek to cancel Casey's reservation, he spills the beans about the surprise party. Casey is furious and vows to get back at him for trying to ruin her life. To add insult to injury, Derek decides to go ahead with the party as planned. If it hadn't been for her emergency surgery, Casey would have arrived at her surprise party and ended up crying in the bathroom. After making all sorts of excuses, Derek finally offers a rare and uniquely Derek apology for wrecking her birthday plans.—Anonymous
