Bob and Amy plan to go to Boom Zone for [[Gabe]]'s 12 and a half birthday since his 12th birthday was never planned but a snowstorm hit on the same day as the party so it is cancelled. Gabe couldn't call Amy a bad cook, Bob fat, or PJ stupid. Meanwhile, Teddy and Ivy argue about their boyfriends, Derek and Raymond. Teddy tells Ivy to shut up about "Ray-ray". Ivy gets offended and leaves Teddy for the rest of the day. Later, Teddy and Ivy try to apologize to each other, but a huge snowstorm hit. They get trapped at each other's houses. Meanwhile, the Duncans try to make up for missing Gabe's party. Ivy comes in and helps surprise Gabe. Bob reveals that he obviously cares less about Gabe than the others. Teddy in this episode understands how Ivy's parents are boring and embarrassing. 
==Episode Summary==
One morning Gabe tells his parents where he wants his birthday party to be, but they point out his birthday was six months ago.  While Gabe agrees he reminds them it got cancelled the last six months; he was sick, he was bad, it was too close to Christmas, and he was bad again.  Amy and Bob agree to make up for not throwing Gabe his much-delayed 12th birthday party by giving him a 12-½ birthday party after he is good for one week.  Meaning he has to be nice to his siblings, he can't make fun of his mom's cooking and he can't make fun of his dad's weight.  Impressively Gabe makes it through the week without being bad.  Meanwhile, Derek asks Teddy to read a poem on pain, which she agrees to mainly because he had his hand on her shoulder.  Teddy has a hard time writing a poem on pain and when she reads it out loud it does poorly.  Ivy and Teddy cannot get along with Ivy not liking Teddy's new boyfriend Derek, which causes a rift in their friendship. They go to each other's houses to settle their differences, the same day as a blizzard.  Unfortunately, Gabe's party falls on the same day as the huge snowstorm.  Teddy is driven crazy by Ivy's parents Mary Lou and Harry ([[wikipedia:Ellia_English|<u>Ellia English</u>]] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Allen_Young <u>William Allen Young</u>]) while Ivy is having a great time celebrating Gabe's 12-½ birthday. Meanwhile, PJ helps Bob lose a few pounds when he wrecks his new pants by losing the button and splitting them (even his underwear).  P.J. does a Samba exercise video featuring Betty White before Bob actually enjoys it.  Unfortunately, he keeps craving junk food and tries to eat cake but P.J. leaves notes at every turn even knowing his dad would throw them out; on the cake, on the fork, and in the cake.

==End Credits==
Bob tried to sneak the cake from the fridge, but when he took the lid off, all that's there was PJ's head, so Bob decided to torment him by making him watch him eating a cupcake.
