The Dunphy-Pritchett clan took the show on the road in the finale and gathered down South for Phil’s mother’s funeral. Jay spent the episode reminiscing about his youth with the woman who swiped his V card and happened to live next door to Phil’s dad, while Cam met up with the elderly ladies of book club and worked on his mother hen skills (not that they needed much work).
Meanwhile, Phil tried to honor his mother’s last wish by setting his up with a nice lady down the street before the smarmy younger ladies swooped in like vultures. Gloria was a wanted woman in the state of Florida, which far and away was the best part of the episode. Gloria? A wanted woman? But for what? Back before Gloria moved to California she signed a lease for a commercial space that would become “Quick and Easy”…. her name was still technically on the lease, which meant she’s technically a co-conspirator in running a prostitution ring.
Luckily, she had Mitchell, and his legal expertise. In the end, the family attended the funeral, Alex set off some fireworks, and pranked Manny and Luke. Welcome to the South. Mitchell leaves us with a bit of a cliffhanger – he decides he wants to get back into the courtroom. What will this mean for Cam and Lily? Only time will tell.
