Paige meets Phil at his home and by a Vaudeville's play, Luke finally does not drop out and Paige reveals that Phil was the man of her dreams.
Also, Jay has fun with his new friend, a single mother at school. But Gloria's jealousy could destroy his new relation, or Gloria just could show up in order to see if Joe correctly wears his eyepatch in order to correct his lazy eye.
And, Mitch and Cam have another argument in which Cam tells Mitch he does not enjoy life, which turns out to be true, as Mitch is the only dad not to participate at A Fundraiser. Mitch gives in and agrees to play the bee in Cam's performance but his clumsiness makes him a fool of himself again.

Jay tells Sharona not to come over, in case Cam sings "My Sharona." He later tries to lead into Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard." The masseur's name is Aweemaway, suggesting "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."

Reviews
- The A.V. Club gave it a "B": I love when Manny is absent for an entire episode.
- TV Fanatic gave it 2.5 / 5.0: Sometimes Jay will have a laugh-out-loud line or Haley will let one fly, but the rest of them hardly ever get a zany and solid line to throw at the crowd. They're great actors, but the storylines in Modern Family have become overall dull and expected.
