As soon as Phil showed up in Paris with a plan in store, I was excited for a classic Phil and Claire role playing episode with Julia and her lover's cousin Claude instead of Clive. But what ended up happening was Claire trying to visit her old favorite cafe where a previous lover of Claire's was waiting for her.
I was fine with the joke despite it being predictable, but what made it bad is that Phil had this amazing plan for the two of them, and we never got to see it in action because Claire said she wanted them to spend time with the ex-lover too because "she felt bad for him". How about feeling bad for your husband who had to play third wheel with you? When the roles flipped and Phil and the lover got along with one another, Claire wanted to leave and kept making mean jokes about the two of them. This close to the end of the show, I didn't want to see a Claire is bad and let's laugh at her episode, I want to see Claire and Phil continue to be one of the best married couple in sitcom history.
Other than that, Cam fighting with the French Clown version of himself, Mitchell trying to be French, and Gloria and Manny trying to prevent Jay from finding out the truth about the awards were all fine plotlines.
