    The Closet Case

    While still not classic 'Modern Family', this episode is at least an improvement on the previous two so-so installments of S7.

    The positives are that Alex is written well for a change, and it's nice to see a Jay/Mitch storyline too.

    Having shown signs of growth in the last series it's a shame that Haley seems to have reverted back to old ways though.

    Good overall.

      Earl Chambers: I cannot have a Pritchett hanging around here. I've got too much sensitive information your dad would love to get his hands on.

      [Hides a piece of paper on his desk]

      Mitchell Pritchett: That was a take-out menu.

      Earl Chambers: I don't want that man to know where I eat!
