"'There’s no way to get in or out. Its just the house.'"-Marz Mabey

Happy Birthday is the first episode in the first season and the 1st overall episode in the  Point Nemo  series.

Overview
As a new year approaches, a boy celebrates his birthday while everyone else celebrates Christmas. Some of the children explore an area of the house that is restricted and figure out more information than they are supposed to know about. After a long period of no school, they begin to raise questions about the house they live in as they begin to notice things they hadn't noticed before. The maid falls ill Christmas morning, and by the end of the day she has passed away mysteriously.

Summary
Ramona travels into the North Wing while playing hide and seek, suspecting she may find some of her siblings in there. She stumbles across what she believes to be Maid Martha's room and sees framed pictures of her, another man, and a newborn child. In the room, sitting in the window, is Kit, who has fallen asleep with a terrible dream since she has taken too long to find him. She could care less about his dream and they both leave to find the final child, Natalia. They find her in a room with only a staircase, and she appears terrified. After they leave, she notes that she could hear someone walking up and down the stairs while she was hiding in there. To their surprise, Father Nick is waiting just outside the North Wing for them, telling them that they are late for dinner.

All 16 children gather for dinner in the dining room, where we are introduced to Annis as she talks to Kit about his upcoming birthday. It becomes known that they are allowed to leave at the age of 16, and go meet new parents that will take care of them, raising suspicions of how they would even get out in the first place.

The 8 elder children, all of the main protagonists, play ping pong in the game room and set up the Christmas tree. Natalia scores the game; Ramona, Annis, Jack, and Galen play; Mirko watches; while Kit and Marz decorate. After Jack taunts Marz for her height, she uses her powers to place the star upon the tree. She wipes blood from her eyes onto her shirt, and the children play it off as if it is nothing. They gather their boxes and head to bed after Jack and Galen's win. As they get ready for bed upstairs in their room, they can hear rumbling above them. They say nothing about it and head to bed like nothing had happened at all.

The following morning, Christmas Day, they eat breakfast. Maid Martha, unable to clean dishes, is excused for the day to rest. Maid Louise assumes it is because she is pregnant and claims she can handle the days tasks. One of the younger children asks Mother Jenny about the sounds they heard the night before, and mysteriously as punishment, are sent to the shower room. Ramona tries to recall the memories of the other kids telling her about what happens in the room, but she can't seem to remember clearly.

While the children are supposed to be doing their chores, Natalia sits in the study room, making a green butterfly for Kit's birthday/Christmas, since he only gets one present a year.
