Lionel is busy preparing for his birthday. He's searching the house from top to bottom to find a hidden present from Louise, burying a time capsule in the backyard so that he won't forget what it was like to be a kid, and disguising himself to see what an older Lionel might look like. When his birthday finally arrives, all Lionel has left to do is perfect his blowing-out-the-candles technique and think of the perfect birthday wish!
