Modern Family [OV]

Hayley and Alex's relationship statuses go back and forth between hot and cold as the summer comes to a close.

Phil and Claire are feeling a little snubbed by their kids when Alex intentionally gives them the wrong college move in date to avoid making it a big deal.

Being the cool dad that he is, Phil helps Haley convince Claire to allow Dylan to move in temporarily, but after seeing how intimate living together means, Phil is having major second thoughts.

Phil is all in on project hatch-the-duck-eggs, even building a whole habitat for them -- no one else is as enthused about this project and Lily is the only one suckered into helping him.

Claire is excited to give Haley and Alex a great experience for "Bring Your Daughter to Work Day" but the staff is not making it easy.

Claire and Phil have their hands full when Luke gets arrested for driving without a license, then they catch Alex sneaking out of a liquor store, but that's on top of Phil dealing with some personal insecurities.

Everyone is at Jay & Gloria's for post-Thanksgiving leftovers brunch and after a conversation about the sexy and sleek house that Phil is helping Mitch and Cam's friend sell, everyone gets the same bright idea to sneak in there and have a little "fun."

When Gloria accidentally bids on a session with a self-help author at a school auction, she and the family get more then they bargained for when Dr. Debra implores them to "clean out their emotional junk drawer."

In hopes of the perfect white Christmas she never had in Colombia, Gloria rents a cabin in the mountains for the whole family, including Andy, to celebrate the Christmas holiday.

Claire and Phil have dinner plans with this great couple they met on vacation; the only problem is they never pick up the bill, so Claire insists Phil be strong this time and make them pay.

Sick of having the ducklings around the house, Claire and the kids seize an opportunity to help expedite the ducks leaving the nest while Phil is off visiting Alex at college.

Before Claire officially takes over Jay's closet business, she decides she must get the house in order and make the family clean out the clutter.

Now that Claire has been running the closet business for a while, she and Phil have fallen into a new rhythm.

A huge thunder storm brings wide power outages and the whole family congregates at Jay and Gloria's to use their generator.

Claire has somehow turned into super mom, running Jay's closet business and yet still has time for all the duties at home.

Phil has a new client who happens to be vhis type, and knowing that might get him in trouble with Claire, he tells some seemingly innocent lies, which then lead to more, and soon enough he's in a full spiral.

Phil has the crazy idea of going on a spontaneous trip to Paris with Claire; the only problem is that they are both so ridiculously tired but try to push through it.

Manny and Luke are in charge of babysitting Lily so that the adults can enjoy a day to themselves.

Claire brings home a stray dog and gets the kids to help her hide it from Phil while she tries to find its owner.

With Closet-Con right around the corner, Claire is on high alert and convinced there is a mole in the company.

Dede is getting remarried and Manny convinces the family to take the train up to the wedding.

Claire can't seem to find the right time to fire one of her employees, while, back at home, Phil thinks he caught Luke with a girl in his bed, and no one seems to notice that Alex has moved back home for the summer.
