"Happy Birthday, Will" is the fourth episode of W.I.T.C.H. It first aired February 5, 2005.
Synopsis[]
It's Will's birthday and if there's one thing she does not want, it's a party. The girls manage to throw one, anyway, and everything is going swimmingly until Cedric shows at City Hall looking for birth certificates for a certain teenage girl. Apparently, Prince Phobos has a long lost sister on Earth. The girls sneak away from the party and battle Cedric at City Hall until he flees saying he has all he needs. In the B-story, Yan Lin gives her granddaughter the Map of Portals. In the C-story, Martin sees Hay Lin throw food out the window. She is really giving some party food to Blunk, but she cannot tell this to Martin so she says that it is a family tradition to throw food out the window for good luck. Martin then tells the other kids this, and they all throw food out the window.
