Synopsis:
Shelley Long ("Cheers") Returns as Dede Pritchett

Cameron stays back to watch over Alex and Luke, but they get into some crazy mishaps under his care. Meanwhile, Jay gets out of baby shopping with Gloria, but ends up having to deal with a surprise visit from Dede, and tries to scoot her out before Gloria gets home to prevent Dede from seeing that she's pregnant and to avoid the potential blowback, on "Modern Family," WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 7 (9:00-9:31 p.m., ET), on the ABC Television Network.

They really got Haley out of college quickly.

That was one of the funniest Modern Family's in a long time. Don't think we've ever seen Phil parent sternly before!

Was it me or did Shelley Long seem out of it? She was like over enunciating every word she spoke and talking super slow.
Great episode. Phil was awesome. Loved Phil's hang up on the waffles throughout the day. Plus, Cam at the hospital with the kids getting hurt was fantastic. One of the best episodes of the year by far.
Luke's line about the shiv was the line of the episode.

Great episode and I could actually tolerate Mitchell this time. His whiney delivery worked well for the material

Mitchell [reading notice] "You have a hearing tomorrow to decide whether you should be expelled from school. No..hold on...yes! I got it right! Yay for me!"

This. There are times that the critical acclaim the show gets annoys me, but damn if it isn't damn funny most weeks. There wasn't a bad line in the entire episode. And Luke continues to kill!

I think they are on a roll this season. All of them have been really good, although I liked Yard Sale better than this one.

I'm behind, but man, killer episode. Phil was on point. It was great seeing him parent for a change.
Cam at the hospital was equally fantastic. I was bummed Alex had a reaction to seeing blood. Figured her being a doctor was a shoo-in.

And it's not the first time. Remember when his kids "poked the bear"?

I bet we find out in a later episode that Haley was trying to get thrown out of school. That she was homesick and not fitting in at college.
She seemed not to care at all about being in trouble and trying to get thrown out at the hearing.

This was a good ep., and I loved seeing serious Phil for once. Given the character's past it was easy to presume he wouldn't say much of anything. Nice to know he's not a complete nitwit.
