Synopsis
No matter what happens, Lucy's surprise party for her parents' anniversary must remain a secret or it won't be a surprise. So why she tells Lee about it is anyone's guess.

Plot
Lucy is organizing a surprise anniversary party for her parents at Mario's restaurant but makes the mistake of telling Lee so the news gets back to her father Geoffrey, who makes it clear he does not want it. Lee then devises a plan to cancel the restaurant booking by telling Mario that Geoffrey has died and throwing the party at the flat. All goes well until Mario turns up to offer his sympathies and finds that Geoffrey is very much alive.
