Modern Family: Sex, Lies & Kickball (2017)
Season 9, Episode 4
10/10
Heartfelt, simple tales.
15 January 2018
Sex, Lies, and Kickball focuses on the disparity between what you want for a loved one, verses what they actually want.

Alex and Ben meet with Phil and Claire, with Claire determined to undermine Ben, in a move that mirrors Jay and Phil's relationship.

Jay's friend Shorty returns from Costa Rica, exaggerating how successful he is there. Jay referring to Shorty as his "best friend" is heart-warming and ends the episode on a sweet note.

As usual, Mitch and Cam steal the show. Pepper and Ronaldo's recently-adopted son Lionel stays with the Tucker-Pritchett's, with Mitch and Cam being taken aback by how proper and adult Lionel is. They decide to play kickball with Pepper and Ronaldo, with some excellent comedy as usual when Nathan Lane guest-stars.

This is a simple episode that examines the complexities of the relationships on the show.
