Modern Family the season finale starts out with a focus on Phil and Claire. They’re having a minor argument because Phil is about to go off to a sporting event and she is reminding him that they have the big family portrait today which she has spent so much time coordinating everybody’s schedules to plan.
The photographer only has 1 hour in which he can see them so they must be there and Claire wants the picture to be perfect. Like many mothers she feels time slipping away and wants to freeze this moment in time for posterity.
Phil says everything will be fine and is off on his way. He goes over to Jay’s house to get Jay and Manny. He brings Alex along because unfortunately Luke has just remembered that he was supposed to interview someone from the 1960s.
Then Jay has an aha moment. A look of disgust comes over his face.
We all know the sting that certain family obligations can place upon us. And how those obligations can cause us to miss events and things in our lives that we so want to see.
Jay has just remembered that he promised Luke he would allow Luke to interview him. Today is that day so in addition to Luke, Jay will not be attending the Lakers game.
This means the group of four will be Gloria and Manny along with Phil and Alex.
Back at their house where the family portrait is suspected to go down Claire notices that one of the steps on the stairs is broken. She reasons that if Phil can fix this kind of thing it can’t be too difficult and so attempts it herself. It is quite hilarious as she only makes things worse. The comedy of errors continues as she smashes and breaks a lot of stuff in her attempt to fix it.
Haley is little comfort to her perfectionist mom.
There are two hilarious things which happen at the game and Claire is freaking out. Haley has the TV tuned into the game when she sees her dad. She points this out to her mom who calls Phil. He screens her call so it goes to voicemail which angers Claire to no end. Later on in the game the ‘kiss cam’ is focused on Phil and Gloria.
At first they resist but it comes back on them twice more and so Gloria kisses Phil.
Alex gets a text from Healy that their mom is super pissed. Phil thinks it’s because she saw the kiss even though kiss cams are only supposed to be for people at the stadium and not shown on TV.
Very soon after a text comes in from her grandpa and Alex tells Phil “grandpa wants to fight you”.
Phil thinks it’s all about the kiss with Gloria. But he missed the fact that when Luke was talking to grandpa, Jay said that Sinatra was the best singer and he would fight anybody who thought otherwise. This is the moment Luke tells him that Phil thinks some other singer is the best ever.
Cameron has gotten a gig as a wedding singer. Since Mitchell hates small talk he decides to let Cameron go alone. This has Cameron upset and leaves Mitchell in an awkward situation at home.
Somehow a pigeon has found its way into the house and Mitchell is making this very gay squealing noise as he is terrified of this little pigeon. Much hilarity ensues and you can probably guess that Mitchell ends up destroying their house.
Toward the end of the season finale all of these things are coming together in the family portrait. They’re running out of daylight and Claire is clearly freaking out.
Cameron is doubly angry with Mitchell for destroying their house and a seemingly inordinately high amount of the things that Cameron’s mom had given them were Mitchell’s targets to be destroyed. Mitchell says it is merely coincidence. Cameron is also more angry that Mitchell would not put aside his own fears and come to the wedding with him.
The truth comes out about the Phil and Gloria kiss which has everyone on edge.
The sprinklers go off, there is a cool mud fight, and at the end of the day there is much satisfaction with how things have turned out.
A rousing, quite hilarious end to the first season of this wonderful new show.
