'Modern Family' Season 6: Episode 17 Recap 'Closet? You'll Love It!'
This week on "Modern Family," a peeping Tom in the neighborhood uses a drone to spy on Gloria sunbathing, and Phil, Luke, and Manny do all they can to take it down. Lily is preparing to perform at a school talent show, but Cam is more worried about it than she is, because Lily is tone deaf. Meanwhile, Haley's feelings for Andy become clearer as he gets rushed to the hospital with appendicitis, and Jay pulls out an old slogan for a TV commercial for his business.
Jay is irritated that his business rival has come up with a catchy commercial, and he and Claire decide to make one of their own too. Jay insists on using an old slogan that he came up with years ago, "Closets? You'll love it!" Claire thinks that the slogan is no good and doesn't even make any sense, but Jay stubbornly goes ahead with it. At the ad shoot, the team agrees that Jay is not the ideal spokesperson because he sounds grumpy. Claire confronts Jay and he starts to question himself. He feels bad because he's thinking that he's turning into his own grumpy father that no one in the family liked.
Lily is preparing for her school's talent show, and Cam, the musical one in the family, feels that her performance will go on without a hitch.

This worries Cam, and later Mitch finds out that he's worried about it because Cam's old rival has a daughter who'll also be in the talent show.
