Modern Family

Mitch & Cam decide to get married. The kids are driving Phil & Claire crazy. They realize with a little rescheduling of Luke’s camp, Alex’s trip, and Haley’s vacation, they can get all the kids out of the house and have one week all to themselves. Jay & Gloria are preparing for Manny’s solo trip to Colombia to visit relatives. Jay is having to manage Gloria’s emotions and Manny’s nervousness about the trip. After a few pep talks, Jay manages to get Manny on the plane while avoiding a complete breakdown from Gloria, only to tear up himself when Manny leaves."

Claire arrives for her first day of work at Jays’ company and is worried that Jay doesn't have a real job for her. Cam, having lost his music teacher job due to budget cuts, is now substitute teaching at the high school. With the opportunity to become a full-time history teacher, Cam throws himself into the teaching with less-than-stellar results. But, Cam can coach football, so he’s hired. Mitch has to bring Lily to work with him after she injures herself. He calls on Haley to come to the office to help watch her, but Haley spends her day with Charlie, Mitchell’s boss. Luke and Manny have their first day of high school. They each brush off Phil and Gloria, respectively during their drop-off.

Phil seems to have found his wheelhouse in real estate - recently divorced women - but it's taking up a lot of his time. Meanwhile, Luke invites his buddies over for a high-stakes poker game in the basement; Gloria think baby Joe might be cursed; and Cam holds an elaborate pet funeral for Larry the cat's made-up wife -- all for Lily's sake.

Cameron’s older, single sister Pam is coming for a visit, and Cam is in a panic to hide the engagement until he can delicately break the news to her, but it turns out she has news of her own. Phil and Claire make a joint, guilt-ridden decision to miss one of Luke’s volleyball games – that is – until one of them goes behind the other’s back, and Gloria is in denial that she might need reading glasses.

Jay pulled a lot of strings to get reservations at the hottest new restaurant for a family adult’s night out. Unfortunately, in each household everyone is running late – Gloria is taking forever to get ready per usual, Claire and Phil get in a tiff about letting Luke stay home alone, and Mitch and Cam end up putting on the same outfit.

When Gloria hires a too-good-to-be-true male nanny, Jay and Manny are pretty much dead set against it. Frank is in town and feeling a bit lonely recently, so Phil and Jay take him out to help get his groove back. And, Mitch and Cam commission Pepper to plan their dream wedding, but Pepper might be dreaming a little too big.
