Modern Family the Hawaii episode starts out with the hilarious drag queens at it again. Jay’s son Mitchell is freaking out because his partner Cameron is taken video footage of him exiting the van shuttle from the airport with Lily.
It doesn’t go as planned because Lily is holding a stuffed bear which blocks the shot of her face. He says he wants to do it again but Jay says no way we’re doing it a third time.
There were many more storylines to play out in this show. They get checked into the hotel where Manny and Luke will be roommates. This is a match made in hell.
Manny is a total neat freak and old soul.
Luke is just a little boy who wants to have fun and make a huge mess. It takes only moments before their styles to begin to clash.
Phil is determined to give his wife Claire the honeymoon they never had. They reveal in their little side interviews that the show does how they were scheduled to have a honeymoon in Hawaii which was canceled because Phil knocked Claire up with Hayley. They never got around to taking the honeymoon. More than that they never even had a real wedding.
All they did was go down to the courthouse on Tuesday and get hitched.
At the start they’re lounging by the pool when Gloria exits. Phil is staring hard into Claire’s eyes even though she’s wearing sunglasses. She asks him whether he’s just looking into the reflection of Gloria walking out of the pool. He asks her if she’s going in slow motion or if it’s just him.
Jay gets this call from his brother and they do their typical talking trash back and forth.
Then his brother hits the mother lode. He says, “Jay you’re 63 right? That’s the same age dad was when he died.”
This hits Jay very hard because he realizes just how true it is. The brother backpedals a little because he knows what a number this has done on Jay. He tells Jay all the reasons their dad died was because of heavy drinking, terrible diet, with little or no exercise. These are all the things that Jay has been doing for a while and had planned to continue on this Hawaii vacation.
This really hammers him.
So he swings the pendulum in the completely opposite direction and starts a maniacal exercise and diet plan.
This is putting Gloria out because he’s taking her along for this crazy exercise and she is sore all over. This is not what she bargained for because one of the advantages of marrying an older man is that she would never have to be keeping up with him.
Claire and Phil are attempting to do their own thing in the pool when Hayley wants to go across the street with some friends she’s just met. Claire is against it but Phil convinces her to let it happen. Hailey gets drunk and has a nasty hangover in her room with much vomitting.
Manny and Luke reach a boiling point when Manny kicks him out. He storms off saying he’ll just go room with his sisters.
Meanwhile there’s one huge funny topper to finish the episode. Through all this strenuous exercise overnight Jay’s body was not prepared for it. He’s thrown out his back and is stuck in a hammock. This is distressing because he is missing his own birthday dinner which the entire family has planned for him. It’s the guest of honor not showing up for his own party.
So they all go searching for him. This isn’t the only thing that was lost in this episode. Earlier in the day Cameron and Mitchell were freaking out because they lost Lily. I’ll let you watch that because it’s equally funny.
Phil is the one who happens upon Jay. He attempts to help him up despite Jay’s protests and pleas for Phil to go get some help from the hotel.
Phil assures Jay that he can handle it without a problem. Phil ends up hurting himself and having a very embarrassing moment as other people walk by. You have to see it to believe it.
