Elizabeth Banks will reprise her role as Sal, Cam and Mitchell’s best friend, in next week’s episode, “Best Men.” Will Sal receive Cam and Mitchell’s blessing?

Elizabeth Banks – known in the Modern Family world as Sal – will return in next week’s episode to announce her engagement. For those who may not remember Sal, she featured back in season 1 in “Great Expectations” whereby Sal was a little bit of a party animal.

ABC has announced the synopsis, quoting:

“‘Best Men’ – Mitch and Cam’s best gal pal, Sal, makes one of her notorious surprise drop-ins, but this time with big news – she’s getting married… tomorrow! Cam and Mitch are the best men, but they can’t help but question whether this party girl can really settle down, and they consider an intervention. Meanwhile, Gloria has trust issues with their new nanny, Claire has a rare bonding moment with Haley, and Phil helps Luke with a girl he likes, on Modern Family.”

Sal has quite a dark sense of humour but means well; despite dropping devious hints about Lilly, Sal really means no harm whatsoever. But, having last seen Sal at a nightclub partying heavily, Cameron and Mitchell have doubts as to whether she can hold down something as serious and lifelong as marriage.

We can understand where Cam and Mitchell are coming from having seen Sal be so immature towards Lilly, and the responsibility of marriage and beyond would certainly worry anyone, especially how nervous the pair of them can be when it comes to situations such as these.

But maybe Sal has changed? Could meeting the right person in her life calm her down? And, how will Cameron and Mitchell respond to both being “Best Men”? There is no promotional material at the current moment, but we’ll report it as soon as we have it.

Be sure to tune in to Modern Family next week to see more of Elizabeth Banks as Sal, over on ABC at 9 p.m. ET/PT during Wednesday evening.
