Matt's kids were psyched out of their brains to attend a kid's dance party. Of course, things didn't go as planned, and it turned into a complete and utter disaster. One disaster turned into another after a neighbouring party upstaged a friend's kids' birthday party.
Ash took the kids out for sushi for the afternoon, except it took a wild turn when Oscar had to poo midway through. Did he make it to the toilet in time?
