Sorry to double post.

I loved this episode! I like how Phil and Jay could bond over their hatred for Gil Thorpe and his dad and how they turned this into a competition. Of course Luke couldn't win and he started hurting Gil's son and people thought he was trying to save him when really that wasn't the case!

I liked Cam and Mitch's story. They acted a bit selfish not to tell Claire about the lice because of their prior appointment and Julie and Aubrey got the chance to shine in this episode with physical comedy. I also loved the end of Phil getting Lily to climb onto Gil!

We got a nice sister moment too trying to help each other in the basement! And Manny feeling self conscious. It led to a greater bonding between her and Gloria. I think they will always be close.
