A family brunch at Claire and Phil's gather the three families for a relaxed meal. Not everything goes right. Jay remembers something that happened some time ago where his convertible got ruined because his former wife did not listen to the weather report. Claire feels guilty not having come out with the truth about that incident. Mitchell, embracing the spirit of her sister's admission, confesses he was instrumental in the 'hole-in-one' for which Jay's name is held in high respect at the club.
While taking the girls and Lily to see if a doll can be mended, Phil accidentally learns about Haley's little secret, which he knew nothing about. It clearly blows his mind to have to learn about it after the whole family knew about it before him.
Cameron has decided to rescue his Tupperware dish which he brought to Claire's and was never returned. When Cam pulls his back, he is taken to the couch to rest. He sends everyone out instead in order to locate his precious dish.
