On Modern Family season 5, episode 11 “And One to Grow On” some interesting truths about the parents came out! Read our recap and discuss with other fans.
On Modern Family season 5, episode 11, “And One to Grow On,” Phil thinks it’s a good idea to trick Luke into taking a dance class by telling him they’re going to autopsy camp. Claire does some tricking of her own when she pays Haley to take Alex driving so she doesn’t have to.
Jay and Gloria argue over the boys’ birthday parties. While Jay wants to re-use some of Manny’s things for Joe’s party, Gloria feels guilty that they share the same birthday. Jay has bigger worries as Manny shows interest in a girl who he thinks is out of his league.
Cam and Mitch go to look at a wedding venue and have some troubles of their own. While Cam is ready to commit to a pricey place they go look at – Mitch isn’t so sure. After talking it out they agree to put the deposit down but the few minutes lost them the venue! A girl booked their date for her sweet 16 party. But when Cam finds out it’s one of his student’s that booked the venue he comes up with a plan.
While Luke does go to the dance class, he isn’t happy once he gets out. Apparently dancing with a bunch of sweaty, dorky girls isn’t his idea of fun. Especially since he was the only boy in the class.
After getting a verbal beating from his son, Phil gets pulled over by the police. Although, he was just getting pulled over for a broken taillight he gets placed under arrest for unpaid parking tickets. Awesome job, Haley.
Now a new problem arises, Claire has to bring the cash to the jail to get Phil out. But it’s a Sunday and the ATM won’t give her enough money. So she has to find Phil’s secret hiding place for the emergency cash. Phil says he has a system for its location but Claire can’t remember it.
On the other side of town – Cam tells Mitch his plan to get their wedding venue back. They have to get the two BFF’s to make up so the one cancels her party and they can have their joint sweet 16 party together. Although they succeed in getting the girls to make up they don’t get their venue back. Which brings up some un-resolved problems Cam has about Mitch making up his mind about things (the venue, their dream house they lost, a Vegas show).
Jay gets jealous when Joe calls Andy Dada and Gloria can’t tell Manny the truth about his crush. When everyone shows up at the house to celebrate Joe’s birthday they’re all arguing. Haley manages to save Phil and Claire by coming up with excuses for their lies to Luke and Alex.
However when Jay tries to talk to Manny about the girl he likes it only brings up more dirty laundry in the family. While Jay says chemistry is everything Gloria admits she didn’t know if she liked Jay or not until a month into their dating. While Cam took two months to decide on Mitch and Claire took six months to know with Phil.
Although shocked to learn the truth at first, Mitch says they can book the venue now that they know their anniversary could be considered two months into their relationship. Jay feels better when Joe says his name. And Manny says he could wait six months for his crush like Phil did for Claire.
