One of the Best Episodes of this Show

This episode completely pauses the fast-paced cutting that "Modern Family" is so well known for, and instead just holds the scene in each situation. It is an absolute joy to behold.

It allows us to see how really brilliant the writing is on this show. Without the quick cuts, w Really get to see how exceptionally talented all the performers really are.

I found the interaction between Jay and Gloria to be especially moving. Their story was simultaneously realistic, uncomfortable and beautiful. I never knew that Sofia Vergara had such acting chops.

Though not a change I would want to see on a regular basis, but it was a nice respite from the hectic pace and a welcome one-time change.

Great episode, Highest ETM Recommendation for fans of the show.
