Lauren Plans a Tribute — But Michael Has His Own Secret
Spoilers reveal that Lauren believes she’s the one crafting the perfect anniversary celebration. With help from Fen, Chloe, and a few close friends, she arranges an intimate evening meant to reflect two decades of love, forgiveness, and hard-earned happiness.
However, in classic Michael Baldwin fashion, the former legal eagle has his own surprise in the works.

Everyone except Lauren knows the truth:
Michael wants this anniversary to be the most unforgettable night of their lives.
