Meanwhile, Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) welcome at their home a potential birth mother named Lindsay (Zoe Jarman). Lindsay seems impressed with the two of them, especially when she discovers that Cam is a musician and it will be great for her kid to grow up with a musician since its biological father is one. She asks them to sing something for her and the baby and when they do Lindsay makes a comment about Mitch being a better singer than Cam. Cam gets offended by that and later he tries to prove that he is a good singer singing "If You Leave Me Now". He proves what he wants but after the song Lindsay changes her mind about the baby and she wants to keep it. Manny and Luke, with the help of Jay and Claire respectively, have their projects finished. The competitive spirits of Jay and Claire though, lead them at the school to test them and see which one it the best. Both projects are successful but the two of them want to drop them from higher because one of them has to win. Manny and Luke worry that leaving them alone will make them realize how they manipulated them to make the projects for them. Claire, seeing the boys nervous, believes that they are nervous because they wanted to do the projects on their own and they took the joy from them. Jay agrees with her and they try to apologize to the kids. Before they get the chance to say anything, Manny tells them about how they manipulated them and instead of apologizing, they tell them that they will do the project from the beginning totally on their own this time. 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「Egg Drop」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
