Rating: 
It’s Caroline’s birthday, and while everyone else is buzzing with excitement, Max finds herself under immense pressure to throw her a party—except, of course, for Caroline herself. This sets the stage for one of the most entertaining scenes in the series thus far, where the gang engages in a delightful game of blame, each person eager to throw someone else under the proverbial bus. It’s a masterclass in collective shame, and honestly, it’s a riot to watch.
Amidst the chaos, Caroline’s simple birthday wish is revealed: she just wants to see her father. A straightforward request, but as we all know, nothing in this world is ever that simple. Buckle up, because it’s about to get wild on the “bang bus.”
Overall, this episode is packed with adult humor, which is a mixed bag. If it weren’t for that brilliantly clever scene of mutual blame, I would have rated it much lower. But hey, sometimes a little chaos is just what the doctor ordered!
