At home, Leah wasn't ready to take permission from mummy for arranging Edward's birthday party. Rose tries to convince Bella that the birthday celebration might worsen things between her and Edward, and leaving house likes thieves is stupidity. Leah tries to stop Rose; Alice argues Leah has no right to interfere in their conversation. Rose and Alice takes Bella aside to convince her. Bella tries to explain she took the decision thoughtfully and is doing everything for Jake. Leah takes Bella while asking Rose and Ali to guard Mom and not let her come to office. As Bella and Leah jump out of the window, Ali was irked over Leah as she has done some magic over her sister. In the office, Bella thanks Leah for all her support and asks her help in creating a collage of Edward's photos.
Edward was sleeping. He dreams about his past birthdays with Tanya. She had come to wish him with the family, then asked him to make a wish. He told him he wished she wished him on each of his birthday like this. He narrated her a nightmare in which she was in a dessert with someone else, hand in hand. Tanya promised that it would never happen. Edward wakes up to find Tanya standing in the room with Jake. Edward cries pleading her not to do this to him. Tanya and Jake wished him together and vanished.
In the office, Leah asks Bella if she got the photo of their first meeting. Bella says it's impossible to get them.
Edward watched the past photos of Tanya. He drank, sang 'Abhi na jao chor k', and questions why Tanya left him so soon. He was now walking down the street when he watches the call from 'Fake Mother', Esme. Carlisle returns home. Esme was worried that its Edward's routine, nothing to worry about. Esme says, "at least you shouldn't say this today, it's his birthday." Carlisle taunts that alright, "it's his birthday so we must forget about every of his mistakes." Esme curtly replies when she can forget his ill habits, "why not Edward's; after all he is your son." Carlisle tells Esme he is after solving problems from Edward's life and cares about him, he only doesn't show.
Bella and Leah discuss about the venue of the party, about inviting Edward's friends and family and importantly Edward to the party.
Ali was gulping a roll of bread when Sue comes to ask about Bella and Leah. Alice poses of not being able to speaking while eating, she sits there to wait. Rose says, "They are in office, working." Sue asks, "What's so important that Leah forgot her phone home", and goes to office to figure out what's cooking. Rose and Alice are tensed and comes with her.
Bella was worried as the battery of phone is about to go dead. Edward comes to office drunk. Bella tries to hide all the work files so that Edward can't see. Edward was shocked to see Bella and question why she always have to work in his cabin, can't she work at home? He smiles that she must be watching filthy movies here and tries to peek into laptop screen. Bella attempts to stop him, both fell over the couch. Edward sings for Bella and doesn't let him get up. Rosalie and Alice and Sue arrives in the office and find them together. Sue leaves while Rosalie and Alice was shocked to see Bella and Edward together. Leah was shocked to see Edward and go into the cabin. Bella goes behind Sue to explain herself but she wasn't ready to accept. Sue says people blame her son, and it's Bella in such a bad state with this stranger. She says, "Maybe Jake knew already you are characterless."
At home Jasper calls Edward number in presence of Esme, Emmet and Carlisle. Alice takes the call. Edward was behaving strangely, jumping on and off the couch. Alice was unable to speak to Jasper while Leah screamed over him for leaving her hair. The three were shocked to realize Edward was with three girls somewhere. Bella comes in and hurries to go home as Sue is upset. Edward was unconscious now and sleeps over Bella's lap. Bella attends Emmet's call, the four were shocked to hear 4th voice. Bella says, "Edward is in office and is badly drunk." The family was relieved. Emmet promises to be there soon, she should stay in the office with him. Bella insists on Rose, Ali and Leah to leave and make Sue understand, while she stays with Edward. Bella finds Edward's phone and decides to transfer his and Tanya's photos in the laptop. She was sure Tanya's ill memories would vanish after the party. Emmet and Jasper arrives at the office.
