Recap

The scene opens with Haley and Claire arguing and Haley wants to go to a party. Claire tells that she needs to study and not party. Alex comes downstairs and asks what is going on. Haley tells that she doesn’t want to be unpopular like Alex is. Phil comes downstairs and asks what is going on and Haley asks to go to the party, but Phil says that he is not getting in the middle of it. There is a knock on the door and it is a plumber. Claire called him because of Phil’s lack of completing tasks. Phil feels that his honor is in jeopardy and tells that he fixes things. Claire and the plumber go to the bathroom and Claire slams the door shut as Phil is defending his honor. At Mitchell and Cameron’s house, Cameron is dressed in an Opera cape and Mitchell complains about going to Pepper’s brunch because every year it gets harder and harder to dress up to his “themed” parties. At Gloria and Jay’s home, Manny is pouring entirely too much sugar into his espresso and Jay tells him to pour the espresso into the sugar. Gloria wants to know why Jay won’t go to church with them. He tells that him and God are good and that he doesn’t need to go. Suddenly there is an earthquake and everyone freaks out. ..
