In "Happy Anniversary," season 2 episode 3 of The Cosby Show, the Huxtable family is celebrating the anniversary of Cliff and Clair's marriage. The episode begins with Cliff and Clair reminiscing about their wedding day, and it's clear that they still have a very strong and loving relationship. They share stories of their courtship and how they fell in love, and the rest of the family listens with interest.
As the day progresses, the Huxtable children start planning a surprise anniversary party for their parents. Denise and Theo take charge of the decorations, while Rudy and Vanessa work on the cake. Sondra, the oldest Huxtable child, is away at college, so she can't help with the party planning, but she calls to wish her parents a happy anniversary.
While the children are busy with the preparations, Cliff has a surprise for Clair. He takes her to a fancy French restaurant for dinner, and they both dress up for the occasion. The restaurant is very upscale, with a snooty maitre d' who doesn't seem to appreciate Cliff's jokes or sense of humor. Clair is amused by Cliff's antics, though, and they have a wonderful time together.
Back at home, the children are getting the party ready. They decorate the house with balloons and streamers, and Theo even tries to bake a cake himself (with disastrous results). Everyone is excited for Cliff and Clair to come home and see the surprises they've prepared.
When Cliff and Clair arrive home from their date, they are greeted by their children and a house full of decorations. The surprise party is a great success, with everyone enjoying each other's company and reminiscing about the family's past. There are a few heartwarming moments as Cliff and Clair reflect on their marriage and how fortunate they are to have such a wonderful family.
As the party winds down, Cliff and Clair head off to bed, exhausted from the day's festivities. They are happy and content, knowing that they have each other and their family to cherish and celebrate. The episode ends with a shot of the happy couple cuddled up in bed, reaffirming their love for each other and looking forward to another year together.
Overall, "Happy Anniversary" is a heartwarming and charming episode of The Cosby Show.
