Modern Family Schooled

The whole family all come together for dinner as they celebrate Haley going college and Lily having a birthday. Also we learn Jay and Gloria are going to parenting classes. When Haley is leaving everyone seems to be sad even Luke wearing a mask to hide his tears. When the guys bring Lily to her first day her hair gets pulled so Cameron pulls the kid and gets made at him. It turns out that the parents of the other child are lesbians which is not good when they come in contact with the gay men. During the parenting class Gloria and Jay seem to be causing some trouble. Phil's college plan is in full force. The play date is happening and they don't have much to do. Claire and Phil continue to make it hard for Haley as they grad buts and drop condoms. It turns out that Lily and Conor love each other as they do not want their parents fighting anymore. When Gloria/Jay get home they learn Manny is scared as he is worried the new baby will not be smart. It seems that Haley is sort of lonely at college as she rings her parents and they sort of cry. Nice episode with the Pregnany storyline shortest is still the best with the lesbian one the weakest.

EPISODE GRADE: B (MVP: Ty Burrell)
