This episode, while not one of my favorites of the season so far, it still had many memorable moments.
It started with Claire telling the family she is going to see a friend she used to work with. Luke then says he can’t imaging her working and Phil chimes in and says that was very offensive to women and that your mom works very hard, but now she works for us.
Some of the funniest parts of the show are when the characters are talking to the faux-documentary camera. Mitchell is saying how he feels good that his dad would ask him to be Sophias’ lawyer in the accident case. Cameron comments how he is a wonderful lawyer and says that my dream for him one day is that he will be on the Supreme Court, so at parties I can tell everyone my partner is one of the Supremes.
One of the best parts of the whole episodes is when Cameron and Jay go to gym and play racquetball and while changing they bend over and touched their bare rear ends and Jay is mortified. Cameron says he can’t believe in all the time in a locker room this can’t be your first moon landing…you better be lucky it wasn’t a splash down (after a shower).
Claire meets up with an old friend who she used to work with and thinks she is jealous of her, but then realizes later that she pities her and it upsets her. Claire brings her friend over and ciaos ensues when the children are cleaning up the mess from the bottles and chasing a rat around. Claire wonders why Luke is holding a bottle of Jagermeister and he says that dad told him it makes girls easier to kiss.
Cameron beats Jay in the first match of racquetball and is upset saying he is still thinking of what happened in the locker room. Jay says that for me it’s unnatural but for you it was like rocket fuel. Cameron disagrees and says so gays just walk around giving butt bumps…if you are a guy you give a high five but since I am gay it’s a low two. Then after Jay wins their second match he doesn’t realize Cameron is still in the shower and ends up having a “splashdown” with another man and runs out.
Toward the end of the show ends with Claire wondering why her friend couldn’t have seen her family calm and talking to each other normally…something I am sure a lot of mothers/parents wonder about their real family.
While credits are rolling there is a “Say Anything” reference between Phil and Haleys boyfriend Dylan….good stuff.
Funniest lines/parts of episode:
· Alex and Luke are recycling and find a bottle of Jagermeister and ask their dad what it is, “You know how in a fairy tale there's always a potion that makes the princess fall asleep and then the guys start kissing her? Well, this is like that except you don't wake up in a castle — you wake up in a frat house with a bad reputation.
· Cameron comments how he is a wonderful lawyer and says that my dream for him one day is that he will be on the Supreme Court, so at parties I can tell everyone my partner is one of the Supremes.
· Cameron: Oh sure, when you're gay you just walk around giving butt bumps to everybody. It's like a high-five — it's a low two.
