Another funny episode from an incredibly well-written show. The ensemble cast is also what makes this show so fantastic.
This episode centers around Jay’s coming birthday. His wife Sophia has planned this huge birthday blowout and spared no expense. Jay’s not too happy about this because it’s not her money she’s spending but his money. She invites the entire family to go to Maui with them for the week.
Jay was all excited because he was with his wife thinking they were going alone.
They had Manny staying over with Phil and Claire.
But it was all a ruse by Sophia because the whole family meets them at the airport. She says that she bought all their tickets and planned the whole trip. There is a ton of activities including hiking, singing, and checking out the volcano.
Jay was wanting some alone time with his wife and to read.
He now realizes he’s probably not going to get even a moment alone. This drives him to the bar where he starts drinking. One complication arises when Phil and Mitchell arrive at the airport at roughly the same time.
Mitchell forgot his wallet which has his ID and everything in it. They don’t believe they have enough time but Phil says they’ve got plenty of time and offers to drive him back. So their adventure and race against time begins.
Meanwhile Claire is freaking out because Phil said that he would be there with her at the airport. She has developed an insane fear of flying. Since Phil is not there she is feeling abandoned. This drives her to the bar where she starts drinking with her dad.
They show a few flashbacks and one includes Dylan sleeping on the floor of Haley’s room. He couldn’t bear to part with her since she’s going to be gone for a full week. She has to rush him out of the house so her parents don’t think that anything happened between them last night.
He ends up getting stuck in the house after they turn on the alarm.
Little Manny is apparently on a no-fly list. There is quite a hilarious exchange between him and his mom and the airport security guy.
It all gets straightened out in the end as they’re boarding the plane. But not before Jay finds out that his family is only staying for six days and he and Sophia will have their alone time after that.
It ends with the boarding pass guy asking Claire whether she’s been drinking. She seems to be almost passed out so Phil says they’re just joking around. “Let’s play bride of Frankenstein honey.” Phil says.
He then carries her onto the plane and she seems to be unconscious.
