Modern Family‘s Elizabeth Banks will return on Feb. 27 in “Best Men,” where Sal turns up to make a huge announcement.

We reported way back on December 6 that Elizabeth Banks will reprise her role as Sal in this season’s Modern Family, and ABC has revealed that she will star in “Best Men,” airing Feb. 27.

And, we have a wonderful 20 picture preview of “Best Men” down below.

Banks played a hilarious cameo role in the episode “Great Expectations,” which aired in November 2009, playing one of Mitchell and Cameron’s female friends. Sal’s a party animal and could drink absolutely any of them under the table, but to Cameron and Mitchell’s dismay, they became incredibly annoyed that Sal ignored their newborn baby, Lily.

Since then, we haven’t seen Sal and, after a guest star-studded season this is no surprise that the Modern Family writers are reminiscing again, and bringing back a fan favourite in the form of Sal.

However, she has big news and ABC has finally unveiled the episode synopsis for “Best Men.” It looks like Cameron and Mitchell are set for a big day out.

“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.”

Cameron and Mitchell have had a difficult time lately in season 4, with Lily being an absolute nightmare of a daughter. With Lily being considerably difficult, we expect some sort of tension to occur between Lily and Sal, fighting for Cam and Mitch’s attention. Also, with Cam and Mitch in a very mature albeit fun relationship, they are having serious doubts as to whether Sal could hold down a serious longstanding relationship. How will the duo react upon meeting Sal’s fiance?

Aside from this, we’re looking forward to seeing how Phil helps Luke with a girl he has a crush on. This is usually a plot line held by Manny, but surely Phil and Luke will make the most hilarious effort to win this girl’s heart. We’ll have to wait until the end of the month to see how Luke fares.

Be sure to check out Modern Family over on ABC every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET/PT.
