Further details
It's Mal's 50th birthday, and a health check-up plunges him into a crisis of masculinity.
Feeling his age and with some wear and tear to match the mileage, he tries to avoid any fuss. But the kids shower him with presents anyway, and some of the Park residents put the poor chap through an ancient rite of passage. Mother-in-law Maureen is also over for the occasion, helping the family put on a surprise party.
Meanwhile, Tina's new role as high school investigative journalist puts her on the trail of a student putting on an illegal rave. Long story short - Mal ends up attending and showing off some of his finest dad moves.
