"Caught in the Act" is the 13th episode of the second season of the American television comedy series, ''Modern Family'' and the 37th overall episode of the series. Co-creator Steven Levitan & Jeffrey Richman wrote the episode and Michael Spiller directed it. The episode originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) in the United States on January 19, 2011. It featured guest star Rachael Harris as restaurant owner, Amelia. In the episode, Gloria and Jay are about to go on vacation while Manny is away visiting his father, but their plans are interrupted when Gloria accidentally sends an insulting email to Claire. When they go to the Dunphys' house to apologize, they find Claire and Phil in a state of dismay because their kids have just walked in on them having sex. Meanwhile, Mitchell and Cameron have trouble getting reservations at a popular new restaurant so they try to ingratiate themselves with the restaurant's owner, who is one of the parents at Lily's preschool. "Caught in the Act" received mixed reviews from critics. According to the Nielsen Media Research, "Caught in the Act" dropped four percent in the ratings from the last episode of the series to air in its regular timeslot and received a 4.6 rating/12% share in the 18-49 demographic. Despite this, the episode won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series.〔 Rico Rodriguez does not appear in the episode, due to his contract only calling for him to appear in only 22 episodes of the season. ==Plot== The Dunphy kids prepare a nice anniversary breakfast for their parents, but end up walking in on them while Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) are having sex. Luke (Nolan Gould) is not quite sure what happened while Haley (Sarah Hyland) and Alex (Ariel Winter) are reeling with shock and horror because they know exactly what happened. Claire is much more upset about the kids seeing them than Phil is, largely due to her memory of walking in on Jay (Ed O'Neill) and her mom making love when she was a child. While Claire and Phil hide out in their bedroom, the kids leave the house and talk about what happened over ice cream, with Luke noting that he would rather have parents who do that then parents who are divorced like many of his friends; they make a deal to sit stone-faced through Claire's subsequent address to them, which makes Claire happy — along with Phil stating that every anniversary with her makes him happy. In the end, the kids come up with an ideal anniversary present: a door lock for the bedroom door. However, the lock makes a loud ricochet sound when Phil and Claire use it, thus horrifying the Dunphy brood anew as an indicator of unseen parental sex. Jay and Gloria's (Sofía Vergara) vacation to Las Vegas (and a three-tower restaurant wine room) is ruined when a brutally honest e-mail is accidentally sent out by Gloria; Gloria is mad at Claire for being officious regarding an upcoming school bake sale and has Jay type out a very acerbic post which she never intended to forward. When they show up at the Dunphy's to try and retrieve the e-mail, Claire thinks Gloria's references to the letter are actually references to the kids seeing the sex show. Gloria and Jay lie that the e-mail was a naked picture of Gloria. Claire then confronts Jay for burying her own accidental sight of him making love to his wife, and Phil figures out what Gloria was really looking for. In the end, the e-mail is deleted without further Claire-Gloria acrimony. Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) have been unhappy with dinner lately, as Cameron explains that Mitchell's long hours, the work involved in getting ready to go out with Lily, and their geographic location limits them to walking and that limits them to a nearby kabob joint. But good news beckons when they learn that the eponymous owner of the hot new eatery, Amelia's, is the mom of a little boy in Lily's preschool, and they set up a playdate with the ulterior motive of getting Amelia (Rachael Harris) to make them "in" at the restaurant. All goes well, and Amelia tells them they can get in if they say something that she does not specify because she has to take a phone call. Mitchell and Cameron accidentally hear the speaker phone feed and realize Amelia is an incredibly angry woman, and when they agree to watch her son Jackson while she goes to talk to the contractor who enraged her, they see that one of Lily's juice boxes was pierced and spilled red liquid all over a $50,000 carpet. The guys ponder whether to move the entire carpet around to hide the stain but then they agree to blame Jackson when Amelia gets back by lying that he took one of the strawberry juice packs and drank some before spilling the rest. When Amelia hears it, Cameron and Mitchell learn that Jackson is allergic to strawberries and needs an immediate injection to prevent catastrophe, so they hold him down as Amelia prepares to inject him before finally admitting their ruse. With Amelia's forever lost to them, they end up glumly returning for more kabobs and indifferent customer service. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Caught in the Act (Modern Family)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
