The annual neighborhood block party is nearing, and Harley persuades her mother to let the family do the big activity for the event. It does help them pass the time without Wi-Fi service, which Suzy hopes to get restored. Harley finally settles on her project when Ethan shows her behind-the-scenes family moments he captured on his phone while at the theater she builds a film projector so the family can watch those moments. The Diaz family ends up having a short stay at the theater as Suzy and Tom notice the movie they are watching is not G-rated. Harley figures she can come up with her project before the movie begins, while monitoring the seats she reserved for the family, but fails even after she manages to build something. To calm them down, Suzy and Tom decide to take the family to the movies. Meanwhile, Suzy is preoccupied with the family's Wi-Fi bill and complains to their provider, but when she follows Harley's system of company feedback by asking for free service and threatening cancellation, the Wi-Fi provider summarily cancels their service, which causes the children to become restless. While using her sure-fire way to get free stuff from companies through her "feedback" approach, Harley forgets she has a school science project due until her mother reminds her and wants to see that project. Guest stars: Lauren Pritchard as Bethany Peters, Lulu Lambros as Ellie Peters, Alex Shimizu as Bai Hsu, Kay Bess as Woman's Voice Meanwhile, the younger children attempt to raise money themselves by promoting frog wrestling. As Tom did not accept any additional money from Bai, Harley's effort to fund the new tablet falls short. Tom tells them he sold the raft to Bai, whom he recognized in selfies Rachel posted online. The next morning, Harley, Ethan and Georgie discover Bai and the raft are gone. When Bai cannot sleep in the Diaz home on the second night, Harley brings him to her father's store, where he ends up sleeping by a raft. Bai's accommodations are not exactly as he expects since the children are trying to keep Suzy and Tom from becoming suspicious. With Ethan's help, she books an Asian music student, Bai Hsu, to stay in the Diaz home for two nights. She decides to rent the family couch to a stranger, picking up the idea from the Peters, who are renting a room in their house. When Suzy and Tom refuse to buy the children another tablet to replace the one they broke, Harley comes up with a plan to raise money for that tablet. That prompts Harley to let go of her desire for the sweet seat and let the family know about her big day. Later that night, Georgie reminds Harley how precious celebrating birthdays with the family is becoming, as the older siblings will soon be leaving home. In trying to keep her birthday a secret, Harley endures demands from Daphne to keep quiet, as well as getting into trouble. To ensure she gets the sweet seat, and as soon as her siblings become aware of what day it is, Harley urges them to stay quiet about it for the rest of the day and distract Suzy and Tom from remembering. Harley believes her parents will feel guilty about forgetting her special day, and decides to use that "guilt" to get the best seat in the family car as a present-the sweet seat, reserved for the oldest child, which is Rachel. It is Harley's 13th birthday, but it seems no one remembers.
