Modern Family Season 5 Episode 18 - Las Vegas

Jay Pritchett sits at the relative head of a big and unconventional family. In his second marriage to his gorgeous young wife now, Gloria, Jay has been given something of another chance. 


Still, old habits are hard to break, and it’s trial by fire as he tries to adjust to life with exactly the same passion and vigor that Gloria exhibits, which are matched by her precocious 12-year-old son, Manny. There are several culture clashes, several misunderstandings, but a lot of sweet victories on the way also.
Jay’s grown daughter, Claire, and her husband, Phil, will be the proud parents of three kids with whom they need that open, healthy, honest relationship. It’s not easy always, if you have Haley especially, a teenage daughter who’s growing up just a little fast, Alex, a too-smart-for-her-own-good middle daughter and Luke, a scatterbrained boy. 

Add to this that Phil is just a big kid himself, even if he does always have the best intentions. Claire is the anchor, trying her best to run a tight ship and determined not to let her kids have the rebellious childhood she had.

Claire’s brother and Jay’s grown son, Mitchell, is busy raising an adopted daughter, Lily, with his long term partner, Cameron. Opposites attract in this household, with Cameron having a wonderfully big personality and maybe a flare for the dramatic, while Mitchell is more buttoned-down. 


They balance each other out, and these doting fathers are relishing their roles as parents developing their own little family
