Someone, we are never told, is in the hospital. Jay is a nervous wreck. In flashbacks we are taken to the preparations of Luke's birthday party. Being so close to Thanksgiving, Claire and Phil have not figured out what direction to go. Claire wants to have a sort of arts and craft party, while Phil is looking more into renting a rock climbing set up where he knows Luke and his guests will have a blast.
Cam, who has brought his karaoke playing machine for the party, is beside himself as he learns the Dunphys will not include a clown for the entertainment. Well, unknown to his many talents, he used to be Fizbo the clown. He will not be shut off from coming to the party as the famous Fizbo. Unknown to Cam, Phil has a sort of phobia about clowns because of a bad experience when he was a child.
At Jay's house, he is getting ready with the crossbow he's gotten for Luke. Gloria objects thinking it will be too much for Luke, who is always in some sort of accident. Manny who will be at the party socializing asks Jay's advice in how to tell jokes. Jay wants the boy to be funny as well as do the right thing.
The party preparations include Jungle Tanya, an 'animal woman' who brings all kinds of critters to show the young ones animals, but Phil feels she has brought some species that are best suited for older audiences. Even Dylan, Haley's boyfriend, is fascinated by the animals. The party is in full swing and kids are all over enjoying themselves. A scorpion gets loose and there is a panic. Luke trips on some beads from Claire's arts and craft table breaking an arm and lands in the hospital.
