Plot

Phil (Ty Burrell) is very enthusiastic when he learns that he will appear on a short reportage on realtor’s job. Claire (Julie Bowen) urges Haley (Sarah Hyland) to go with him, which she reluctantly accepts. He introduces her to Rainer Shine, a famous meteorologist of whom Phil is fan. Phil and Rainer befriend and while intoxicated, Phil gives Rainer Haley’s phone number, thinking he needs a makeup-artist. But his joy fades away when he learns that Rainer and Haley started a romance. As he is upset at first, Phil manages to apologize to Haley and later reconcile with Rainer.

At the same time, Claire (Julie Bowen) and Luke (Nolan Gould) want to beat Alex (Ariel Winter) whose mono is almost cured. Since Alex is sick, she has the impression that her intelligence decreased and Luke sees the opportunity to beat her at Scrabble, because she is a sore winner. Claire’s conscience finally makes her guilty and she admits her lie. As Alex’s behavior reverts to her old self, she finally falls asleep due to mono, and Claire advises Luke to shave her eyebrows.

Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofía Vergara) learn that Manny (Rico Rodriguez has to make an application video to go to college. Jay and Manny disagree about the video and finally Manny manages to make an heart warming presentation about himself, which makes Jay cry. At the same time, Joe (Jeremy Maguire) and Gloria go to an orthophonist, which does not sit very well, since Gloria has to speak “properly” in order to make Joe express his words in American language.

Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) are so fond of Dwight that Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) has enough. She is so fed-up, that she wants to get rid of him, but she is unsuccessful. As her dads manage to understand her, they end the episode playing with dolls and tea.
