S01E13: Better With Valentine's Day
Casey has big plans for his first Valentine's Day with Mia. But Ben and Joel tell him that their rule is to never buy expensive Valentine's Day gifts for their ladies because doing so would set a costly precedent. Casey goes ahead with his plans anyway, and Ben realizes that he too wants to show Maddie how he feels. When Joel finds out, he decides to compete with them no matter the cost - and gets singer/pianist Michael Feinstein to perform.
Overview
Maddie and Ben have been dating for nine years and they know each other inside and out. Maddie's younger sister, Mia, has been dating Casey for seven weeks. With a shared c'est la vie attitude, Mia and Casey announce they're getting married and having a baby. It's news that throws Maddie for a loop. Surprisingly, the girls' parents, who have recently adopted a carpe diem sort of philosophy, couldn't be more pleased.
