    5 Year Anniversary

    The kids want to throw a party for their 5th year together with Uncle Bill, but he does not remember it is the anniversary.

    A good episode, with some nice clips of the first show. There is the scene where Mr French meets all the children for the first time. And a touching one where Uncle Bill first puts Buffy to bed. Emily has to tell Bill about the anniversary so he makes it up to the kids.
