Modern Family is a charming witty show that is full of loveable, three dimensional characters. I feel that in season 3, the writers have done well to create relatable storylines for the cast.

This episode is no exception.

The main plot sees Cam and Mitchell head off to a hospital in California to meet and bring home their new son. The baby's family happens to be Spanish-speaking, therefore Gloria is asked to come and help translate. When they arrive however, in typical 'MF' fashion, things start to get rapidly out of hand. There's a surprising and emotional speech from Mitchell in the last 5 minutes, which I thought was very expertly written - it perfectly highlights the struggles gay couples can face in trying to adopt.

Lily is left with Jay and Manny meanwhile. The two drive her to a dance recital, when Lily gets cold feet. This plot was OK but not that interesting.

At the Dunphys, Haley is trying to prove to her parents that she can live with Dylan. Phil and Claire are not pleased and sceptical. But things turn out well, as Haley finds out she got in to community college.

Luke is great despite not having too much to say though he is involved. Alex is going to prom meaning she's absent for most of the episode.

All in all, I found it a rather deep and good episode.
