Luke and Manny face off as they run for school president. At the same time, Mitchell gets angry with Cam when he invites one of his football players to come live with them.
The Modern Family episode "Blindsided" contains examples of:
- An Aesop:
- You should help your kids succeed, but if you make them lie about who they are to court their audience, they're going to fail.
- Also, don't spring things on your partner without warning, and take responsibility for it. Mitch comes close to getting seriously angry when Cam doesn't.
- Role Association: Winston Duke appears as football player Dwight here and for the next few episodes.
- Martin Short guest stars as PR specialist Merv Shechter.
- Ms. Fanservice: Hailey is exploiting her status as this to promote clubs and such on social media.
- Rage Breaking Point: Mitch nearly hits this when Cam doesn't own up to his mistake.
