    Come Fly with Me

    Jay builds a model aeroplane and tells Manny it is for adults. Manny reminds Jay that the box states that it is for 12 or over.

    When Jay invites Phil over to try the model plane out, Jay ends up flying it straight into Phil's face. I think Jay felt irritated by Phil.

    It is an episode about bonding. Even after all these years, Phil has always walked on eggshells around Jay. Hoping that Jay will give him some warm words.

    Meanwhile Mitchell discovers the delights of Costco when he his taken by Cameron to buy some nappies.

    Modern Family seems to have settled down by the third episode. The funniest bit was the plane in Phil's face and Jay being unapologetic about it.

      Phil Dunphy: [to camera] The thing about me and Jay is that our relationship's always been stuck In that primal place where it started. You know, he's the old silverback, protecting his females. Then along comes this younger, stronger gorilla, swinging in, beating his chest, you know. Naturally, the ape ladies come running, presenting their nice scarlet behinds. Papa Ape wants to stop all that, but he can't, you know. That's... That's life. I'm not the enemy. The enemy is poachers.
