Episode Synopsis:
It’s Wilson’s birthday, and the Taylors throw him a surprise party and invite all his friends. Tim goes the extra mile with his gift: In addition to tracking down and restoring the old Studebaker that used to belong to Wilson’s father, he also tracks down Wilson’s wandering niece Willow and invites her to join the party. Wilson is overjoyed to be reunited with Willow, who soon moves into his house. But after a few days, the nomadic Willow begins to feel smothered by her attentive uncle and makes plans to leave. Fortunately, Tim is able to broker a conversation between her and Wilson where they can communicate openly. Wilson agrees to give Willow more space, and Willow agrees to stick around for awhile longer.
