Eddie secretly throws his own birthday party as a way to earn independence from Louis and Jessica.
Aaah, the big 1-2: the last year before adolescence wrecks hormones and emotions.
In this sense, Eddie is very typical.

As seen in a flashback via Louis camcorder periodically interrupted by the screen-craving grandma birthday No.
11 only partially fulfilled the birthday boys wishes.
Things are set to change for Eddies preteen finale.
Louis and Jessica are initially stoked to hit a Saturday workday (weirdos).
But a conversation with Honey changes Jessicas mind: Of course Eddie wants a party!
And its up to the parents to give him one.
The pair rallies quickly to surprise Eddie mid-chill… Only itsnota chill session.
Rather, its a bona fide party!
Eddie decries that being his real self is inhibited by all of the parental Huangs rules.
But there will be some easing on the reins.
A bigger step is permitting Eddie to spend the night at a friends.
Hes greeted with a cold 2-liter of Crush soda.
Dave and Daves mom (Mo Collins) regularly engage in bodily gas battles.
Lightsaber fights are allowedindoors.
Whats for dinner, you might ask?
The newly minted 12-year-old walks home to Louis and Jessica wide-awake.
She asks Eddie if he wants the birthday noodles.
When Louis points out they take six hours to make, she snaps: It is for my son.
This puts the noodles being done late, late into the night.
Evan and Emery are still awake and are subsequently grounded aftereating the meal Jessica slaved over.
The two younger boys did a litany of things to venture to incur parental scrutiny and consideration.
Alas, the parents had more pressing matters than the superficial delinquency of the two prized children.
The presence of Chewbacca would have helped.
Cookie Crisp:An overrated cereal.
This was the awkward mascot period, post-Cookie Jarvis and pre-Chip The Wolf.
Bowling/Chuck E. Cheese Birthdays:Definitely a hot destination for kids special days.
Jessicas dismissal of Chuck as the rat is mean, but fair.
Go go, Power Rangers!
:Evan utters the catchphrase before hopping out of bed.
Many kids surely did the same.
3.Slam by Onyx:Its the soundtrack to Evan and Emerys mischief.
2.Mortal Kombat:FATALITY.
1.So Emotional by Whitney Houston:Played by Daves mom when she storms upstairs.
It should be everyones go-to jam to play for pre-bed dancing.
