"It's My Party" (TV-14, D) (HDTV)

Jessie makes an ill-fated stab at winning Judith over - When Monica (Tiio Horn) pays a visit to Tom (Michael Seater) and Jessie's (Stacey Farber) new attic apartment, she's appalled by their cheap appliances and hand-me-down fry pans. It's time the newlyweds capitalize on the free gift-grab known as a bridal shower. Jessie agrees, since it might create an opportunity to bond with her mother-in-law. But bonding with Judith (Ellen David) doesn't go as planned when Jessie discovers that Judith has "forgotten" to send out the invites. It all comes to a head in the world's most awkward bridal shower. Meanwhile, Carter (Jesse Rath) decides to throw Tom a bachelor party. But Phil (Al Goulem) and Ben (Peter Keleghan) catch wind of it and invite themselves along. In a night of duelling parties, Tom is about to learn one of life's harshest lessons: the only thing worse than your father watching you cut loose, is watching your father cut loose. Angela Asher, Arielle Shiri, Erin Agostino and Carl Alacchi also star. Written by Jenn Engels (#103).
