Modern Family season 5, episode 7 “A Fair to Remember” just finished airing on ABC. Now you can read our recap and discuss the story line with fellow fans.
Here are the highlights from Modern Family season 5, episode 7 “A Fair to Remember”:
- Alex, Luke, and Haley loudly surprise Claire and Phil with a breakfast to celebrate their anniversary – in the hopes that they do not walk in on their parents having a celebration of their own.
- Phil admits that he’s planning a surprise for Claire by singing to her with an all-dad band at the fair.
- Cam is tense because the football team he’s coaching keeps losing. It’s causing him to be negative about everything. When a parent comes up to him and complains, it only gets worse.
- Manny baked a cake to enter into the cake competition but Jay tries to talk him out of it. He doesn’t think it will help him fit in with the other kids.
- Haley goes to Jay and Gloria’s house to get beer out of the fridge and is surprised by their nanny Andy. She flirts with him so he doesn’t tell on her, but he’s not really impressed.
- Jay is annoyed to find Gloria has signed him up to volunteer as a fair cop. To make things worse, he has to work with his arch nemesis Derrick.
- Claire tries to surprise Phil with a present of her own, but it arrives at her house early. As she tries to talk him into leaving the fair, she gets arrested by the fair cops.
- Andy takes pictures of Haley drinking by the pool as proof to show where the beers went.
- Back at the fair, Cam tries to pump up the football players by teaching them teamwork with the sledgehammer strength test. It’s not very effective, since he’s only as strong as a “girly man.”
- As Gloria watches Manny working on his cake, she worries he’s not trying to fit in with the rest of the boys. She sabotages his cake by taking chunks out, but Manny thinks it was an older woman in the contest. Instead of going to have fun, he promises revenge.
- Andy cuts his finger on the glass bottle of the beer Haley dropped. She makes fun of his small fingers but helps him all the same. He tells her he’s being a nanny to save up for college.
- Alex freaks out when she finds Luke trying to trick her friend Sienna into kissing him.
- When a kid throws food on Derrick, Jay tries to help until Derrick’s wife shows up and he cowers at her anger.
- When The Dad Beats start playing at the fair with a local pharmacist (played by Rick Cowling), Phil is worried because he’s amazing. Not knowing Phil’s surprise is ruined, Claire has fun listening to the other singer. They call Phil up and he tries to get out of it by announcing a car being towed. Claire looks disappointed.
- Gloria feels bad when Manny admits he does care about fitting in but just isn’t good at popular things. They run off to try and make it to the cake contest. As Manny shoves people out of the way, Cam realizes he’s found the player he needs for the football team.
- When they get home, Phil loves the surprise Claire has for him – Chinese acrobats. She’s also glad, for once, that she was the one with a thoughtful gift that came through.
