Episode Summary: | TV dot com(lol yes I am using this as my 100 words) annoys me that the fact you have to write this much for a review.
Honestly, this was probably one of my favorite Episodes of Modern Family in awhile. Cam and Phil definitely were the strongest parts of this episode. I liked that Cam wasn't a subplot to Mitchell...Usually it is a Mitchell Dominant plot and Cam is usually reacting to whatever the plot is...Gave us role reversals
I also liked Phil, Claire and Haley's storyline. It starts off with Haley unsure about if College is in her future so what you think is going to be Claire overreacting to this situation, it turns into Claire starting to think of her College days and wondering has she reached her peak and is it all down here from here. Meanwhile, Phil's new source of advertising for real estate makes Claire and the family look like escorts. Now that was funny and a good plot and it also fed into Claire's
All in all, a great episode of MF |
