"Family Portrait" is the 24th episode and the season finale of the first season of ''Modern Family''. It originally premiered May 19, 2010 on ABC. The episode was written by Ilana Wernick and directed by Jason Winer and guest stars Kobe Bryant and Sean Smith. In the episode, Claire makes an effort to take a new family portrait; Gloria and Manny go with Phil and Alex to a Lakers game and share an awkward moment on the jumbo-tron; Cameron gets a job as a wedding singer while Mitchell takes care of Lily; Luke interviews Jay for a school project. "Family Portrait" became the second highest rated show in the series history and received positive reviews from critics with many praising the scene where Mitchell attempts to kill the pigeon and Cameron singing Ave Maria. ==Plot== Claire's (Julie Bowen) perfect plans for a beautiful family portrait are pulled apart by various mishaps; Phil (Ty Burrell) takes Alex (Ariel Winter) to a Lakers game with Gloria (Sofía Vergara) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez), but he ignores a phone call from Claire and then begrudgingly kisses Gloria because of the "Kiss cam" (the former televised and seen by Claire and Haley (Sarah Hyland), though Phil thinks the latter is seen by them). Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) battles a stray pigeon in his house with Lily but destroys the house. Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) gets a job as a wedding singer. Luke (Nolan Gould) interviews Jay (Ed O'Neill) for a school project but he finds his stories boring so Jay invents much more exciting ones. Haley (Sarah Hyland) gets a pimple and tries to get her mom to postpone the portrait, something that Claire does not agree to. All the while Claire battles the Dunphys' broken stair to fix it so everything would be perfect for the portrait. She ends up destroying it completely so she calls Mitchell to ask him to do the shooting at his place. After his battle with the pigeon, the house is in the worst condition for a photo shooting so he tells her that what she is asking can not happen. Nonetheless, Claire gets the whole family, perfectly dressed and barely on time for the picture, but her perfectionism finally gets to Jay and he starts a mud fight, dirtying their perfect white costumes. She is forced to let go of the perfect family portrait, and instead they take a series of fun pictures in varying positions. While later hanging the framed picture, Claire admits that she loves the result more than any perfectly posed family portrait. 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「Family Portrait (Modern Family)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
