Lauren tells Ryan that the first birthday after a loss can be tricky, so the group wants to support him in the most awesome way possible. Yolanda has set up a scavenger hunt based on Ryan's life! Sadly, Ryan doesn't want to celebrate his birthday, so Lauren pulls out stuffed animals for a role-playing demonstration of Ryan's inner dialogue. Ryan grabs the animals to let everyone know that Janie used to go all-out for his birthday, planning way in advance, which he never liked. He's been looking forward to spending his birthday alone. And besides, he has to watch Steven, who's scheduled for a medical procedure that day. When registered nurse Sonia offers to watch Steven, Ryan caves to the group.
