An underrated episode that showcases this show's best
sol-0729 October 2022
This episode has it all: Jay being a big softie inside, Cam and Mitch being the gossipy couple everyone knows they are, Claire being the control freak of always and Phil's tech joining the plans, Gloria being Gloria and it's early enough that the kids still have a fun storyline. Just a family being awful and loving towards each other, the essense of the show.

The pictures at the end really sell it. Knowing how the show will end, which storylines will be retouched every now and then, Haley's photos seem even sweeter than the first time I watched it. The Delmar Watson reference was nicely done, simply hilarious.

I like this show but the themes and message of this episode was uncomfortable
garbageusar7 December 2020
The whole episode is basically about privacy invasion and they play it off as a silly quirky thing families do when the mother is literally GPS tracking her kids, spying on them with drones and going through their phones and pc's. They often do morally questionable things in Modern Family but usually gets their comeuppance for it, however this episode basically ends with her unapologetically telling the kids that it's perfectly ok for her to cross their boundaries because boo hoo its so hard being a mom and being worried about your kids. And no one challenges her on this the episode just ends. As a very private person one of the things I always appreciated my mom for the most was that she let my business be my business. Even though sometimes it meant I got hurt. In fact I'm glad it happened and I got to make my own mistakes and learn from them. So it creeped me out a little to see the show go "It's perfectly okay to not let you have any private life because I care about you!!" No. That mentality is literally a common red flag for an abuser.
