      Plot


      Jay (Ed O'Neill) pushes Phil (Ty Burrell) to go out with him and fly his new model plane, a Vought F4U Corsair. While Phil gets his moment with Jay, the encounter does not end up as he wishes: Jay buzzes Phil with the plane and as the credits roll, the model plane crashes into Phil's nose. Jay takes Phil back home and claims that he hit him by accident but Claire (Julie Bowen) does not believe him and makes him apologize to Phil.
      While Manny (Rico Rodriguez) takes time out to play with Luke (Nolan Gould), Gloria (Sofía Vergara) accompanies Alex (Ariel Winter) in shopping to find a dress for a wedding. Back in the house, Manny ends up having a heart-to-heart talk with his stepsister Claire, while Alex and Gloria talk on like friends (girl friends). Finally Manny convinces Claire to have Alex be her own way and Gloria convinces Alex to follow her mother.
      Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) go shopping at Costco, but Mitchell feels that he is too good to shop there and he wants to leave. When Cameron introduces him to the wholesale pricing, he gets excited and the pair end up buying multiple shopping carts of goods, many of which they do not actually need.
      In the end of the episode, Gloria reveals to Jay that she used to dress up Manny like a girl when he was a baby because she wanted to have a girl. When Manny found the pictures, Gloria told him it was his twin sister who had died.
