I totally agree with the original poster. There have been many great episodes of MODERN FAMILY since the series began but I think this one ranks up there as one of the absolute best. "Arrested" is one of those scripts where every line is so well crafted and perfectly delivered that it is IMHO a classic episode. Writing credits show two writers who I do not recall seeing listed on any previous episodes of the series going back to the very beginning. Becky Mann and Audra Sielaff according to IMDb worked together on"Rules Of Engagement", "It's Always Sunny..." and "Better Off Ted." The various stories were all very strong as were the performances. Everyone in the cast got to shine and there were some nice turns by other players including the student who was at the probationary hearing and it was nice to see Shelley Long make a re-appearance as Dede. The episode was well-directed as all episode are. I hope Levitan and Lloyd give these writers some more assignments in the future. They deserve it!
