Michelle got extremely thrilled when she found out that she'll get circus party for her 3rd birthday, so she had a hard time waiting for the party to start. Jesse and Stephanie took Michelle to the gas station to repair Danny's car to pass the time, but when they went to the washroom before leaving, the mechanic thought that they already left, so he locked the door, so Michelle couldn't get to her party. Meanwhile, since Michelle wasn't home, Danny and Joey had to throw a party for the neighbors' kids. Also, since Michelle wouldn't be able to attend to the circus party at home, Jesse and Stephanie created a circus party for Michelle in the gas station.

This episode is interesting, and also pretty unexpected, because it's hard to believe that they would got locked in a gas station.moreless

I really like this episode. It showed great character for Jesse. When Jesse and Michelle and Steph got stranded in a auto garage on Michelle's birthday and had to be creative in giving a party in a garage instead of being home at a big circus party that was planned for her. Jesse who hates clowns dressed up like one just so Michelle would have a good birthday.

Despite his messing up by worrying so much about getting gas, he really comes tot he rescue by inventing a way to have a birthday party right there in the station. It's awesome to see how he's grown ove rthe years. BTW, it's also fun to see them show the kids acting like kids; again, this is one of few episodes that actually does that.
