Both of them can not hear them complaining anymore, so they leave them back waiting for the two of them to finish their hiking and then go back home. While they are hiking, Claire convinces Gloria to admit that even Manny (Rico Rodriguez) drives her crazy sometimes. Gloria says that sometimes she needs her own space and that Manny should go out and play with other kids. She also says that Manny's poetry is not that good, something that Manny overhears since he followed them on the hiking. Manny gets upset and Gloria tries to make things right. In the meantime, Haley (Sarah Hyland), Alex (Ariel Winter) and Luke (Nolan Gould) while they are waiting for the others to come back, they realize that Claire is always trying to make them feel guilty as a way to apologize to her. They decide that this time they will not do it because if they do, they will let her win once again. Meanwhile, Phil (Ty Burrell) and Jay (Ed O'Neill) stay home to cook a nice dinner for the family. They are making a special recipe that Jay's mom used to make. Things get really awkward when Phil finds a poem Jay wrote for his mom when he was nine years old and when he reads it out loud he witnesses an unexpected emotional reaction from Jay. In the Tucker-Pritchett house, Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) attempts to show his appreciation for Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) by bringing him breakfast in bed on Mother's Day, causing Cameron to worry about the gender roles in his relationship with Mitchell. Things get worse when later, while visiting the park, all the other families treat Cameron as him being the mother of Lily as well. At the end of the episode, the whole family gathers for the special dinner Jay and Phil prepared. Phil tells everyone that Jay cried while they were cooking because he remembered his mom, something that makes Jay mad and denies that he was crying. During the dinner though, while Jay is trying to tell a story about his mom, he starts crying again and everyone comes to hug him. Haley and Alex, seeing Jay crying, apologize to Claire for destroying her special day. 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「Mother's Day (Modern Family)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
