The Dunphy sub-plot was kind of sad. I was pretty confused when they suddenly just cut away to more comedic subplots involving the other family. I wonder if this is a one episode deal or if they'll further develop this.

"I'll be back in two hours, tops"
"We decide who does what when you come back"
This was an interesting way to present the episode, no intercutting between stories, just tell one then move to the next.

Hi. English is my second language and i didn't unterstand one of the quotes. Phil says "First, we have a date with romance. Threesome, if you will." I didn't understand the pun in that. Pun is about "threesome" i guess?

They don't need to try to get serious on this show. It would ruin it IMO. However, I do think Ty Burrell has somewhat of a Bryan Cranston vibe to him and could do serious stuff well if given the opportunity. Just not on this show.

It's not really a pun, just a lame Phil joke. In English, if a couple invites someone else to join them for sex it's a threesome. Phil is joking that "Romance" is the third member.

This episode was great. Phil talking to the doctor was hilarious. I cracked up when he started taking off his blazer.
Really liked the presentation for the episode. Felt 'off' but in a good way. Nice to change it up every so often.

He was great in Black Hawk Down and as the prick of the group in the Dawn of the Dead remake.

Seriously, what's Dylan's obsession with this family? Who lingers around several families simply because you're dating one of their daughter?

Claire: "Haley, revive your sister".
Phil: "This is a huge deal... for which I'm partly responsible, in spite of what Claire's lesbian doctor says"

I was confused by something. Why did Jay call Claire and ask about going to the doctor and why did he want Manny to interrupt him at the end?

I took the end as Jay being worn out (says something about his back, I think) and needing a break from Gloria wearing him out.

I think it's because his own family sucks so much and doesn't support him at all. He sees the exact opposite with this family and wishes he could be part of it. Isn't that clear from, like, every single word of his dialog?
