ANother HR (Alright, a lead off double at least)for Modern Family. Kinda disappointed we only got one episode this week. I always find that when the episodes are not that LOL, they really tug at the heartstrings and vice versa. Really sweet scenes showing how Claire figured out what was bothering Alex and Phil and Luke (Lukini 
) hugging at the end.
Surprised at the slap Gloria dished out.

I thought it was pretty weak, especially after the two strong episodes last week. Luke disappearing was the highlight since it was so unexpected. Lily unplugging the piano was cute. Then Luke hugging Phil was a nice moment. Cam & Mitchell's story was lame and predictable. Same with Jay & Gloria. I didn't buy Alex as a bitch. So yeah, not much that I enjoyed outta this one.

Anyone notice the bottom of Jay's feet while he was eating on the bed in the hotel? They were positively FILTHY! What was that all about?
Manny and Luke's exchanges during music class were hilarious as well as Mitchell in the grocery store with Lily (BAAAAAAABP! Wrong!) and Claire yelling at Cam and Mitchell later.
Good episode.

Jay seems to like the CFL... second time caught watching a Ti-Cat game.

Don't get me wrong, this is my favorite comedy by far, but I'm very surprised to see most people here seemed to like this episode... found it to be easily bottom 5 or so that the show's ever had.
