On the 50th episode, the Bates are back in Florida and are ready to party. It's the Bates girls' turn this time to celebrate as Allie Jane and Carlin share a big birthday. As the family prepares for the birthday bash, they quickly realize it's a lot harder to plan a party for both a 1-year-old and an 18-year-old than they originally thought.

The parents of the clan, Kelly Jo and Gil, take advantage of their time in Florida and they decide to meet Tori's boyfriend's family.

Since the series first premiered on New Year's Day in 2015, "Bringing Up Bates" has become the highest-rated series in UPtv's history.

The reality series takes a fresh look at the ever-changing family dynamics of Gil and Kelly Jo and their 19 children, who range in age from 2 to 26, and their grandchildren, including babies Carson and Kaci.

The family fun continues in season 4 as it's a time of change for the Bates family with new loves, new careers, and a new grandbaby. Many of their children are beginning to forge their own paths outside of the family and are experiencing both the highs and lows of life.

In the midst of these changes, the family is tested when family patriarch, Gil, has an emergency health scare. But through it all, they persevere and the family never falters.

"Bringing Up Bates" airs at 9 p.m. ET every Thursday on UPtv.
