Last night on Modern Family season 5, episode 6 “The Help” Gloria upset Manny and Jay when she hired a male nanny while Mitch and Cam had more wedding drama! Relive the episode by reading our recap and discussing the story line with fellow fans.
Here are the highlights from Modern Family season 5, episode 6 “The Help”:
- Jay gets frustrated when Gloria fires another nanny. She blames it on Manny for hitting on every nanny they hire.
- Cam and Mitch can’t decide on anything for the wedding, not even what month to have it. Luckily Pepper is in town and comes to help them, but he gets offended when they don’t like his suggestions (like making an entrance on a unicorn).
- Haley and Alex won’t stop fighting so they planned on moving Haley into the basement. Too bad Phil’s dad Frank stopped by for a weekend visit and won’t leave.
- Gloria brings baby Joe to the park to play and meets a male nanny. She’s impressed by his connection to kids and likes his honesty about the other mothers (he likes to gossip). So she steals him away from another mother!
- Claire is convinced that Frank needs therapy to get over his breakup. She calls Jay who suggests that they go out for a guys night instead.
- Gloria brings Andy home to meet Jay and Manny. While she thinks it’s perfect – Jay is against having a male nanny. Gloria is shocked when Manny sides with Jay and refuses to cook them dinner.
- When Pepper storms out of Cam and Mitch’s house they wonder if they should fire him. Ronaldo pleads with them not to fire Pepper because he’s under stress. Instead, he offers them the classic but modern suggestions they are looking for. Ronaldo is horrified he’s betrayed Pepper by making suggestions they like and leaves.
- Frank seems to hit it off with a woman at the bar while Jay offends her friend. So Phil and Jay leave early while Frank talks. The next morning Frank meets Phil in the kitchen and admits that he accidentally picked up a hooker after they left. She’s in the basement and he owes her $500!
- Claire comes home early and Phil tries to cover up the hooker incident by saying that she’s a therapist for Frank. She insists on talking to the woman and introduces the girls to her. When the hooker therapist starts talking about stabbing her sister Claire realizes Phil lied to her.
- Ronaldo goes back to see Cam and Mitch saying that they are his muses. They’re ecstatic to see what he’s planned until Pepper shows up. So they hide Ronaldo in the bathroom but when Pepper starts bad talking him, he comes out the bathroom to defend himself.
- Pepper admits that he’s exhausted and heart broken for not having found love himself. Ronaldo admits that he’s in love with Pepper.
- Jay is freaked out when Andy brings him a towel in the bathroom. They tell him it isn’t going to work out. Gloria freaks out that they fired a nanny she actually likes. When Andy succeeds in getting her to calm down Jay changes his mind and hires him back!
