John-Boy remembers when his father was turning 50, and wonders if it is appropriate to celebrate a birthday for someone so old. Meanwhile, the rest of the family is preparing for a surprise birthday party for Olivia's aunt, Martha Corinne. Martha Corinne has lived with the family for years and has been a beloved member of the family since the beginning. Despite her age, she is still vibrant and active, regularly helping around the farm and the house. As the family prepares for her birthday, they worry that the surprise party will be too much for her.

With John-Boy's concerns about celebrating an older person's birthday, the family begins to reflect on Martha Corinne's age and what it means for her.

The party is a success, with Martha Corinne beaming from all the love and attention she receives. She is touched by the effort her family has gone to, and the memories they have shared together. As she blows out the candles on her cake, she closes her eyes and makes a wish. The family watches in admiration as she takes a deep breath and blows out every candle. They all know that she has wished for something wonderful and the love and warmth that fills the room is proof enough.

Overall, the episode reminds us of the importance of celebrating life, no matter what age we are. It teaches us that while our loved ones may get older, their spirit and love for us never fades.
