Plots(1)
The whole family is gathering at Jay's before heading out to Alex's graduation ceremony from middle school, but while at the house, Jay is preoccupied hiding a botox mishap from everyone, Cameron is upset about Mitchell's habit of laughing at his expense, and Phil tries to sympathize with, yet also antagonize Claire on her impending breakdown over the kids growing up too fast. All of this, plus a faulty gate, could mean their missing Alex's big moment. (iTunes)

The creators once again stuck to the wall while writing this episode. There could have been more humor, Jay's attempt at botox couldn't save everything, and the storyline with Mitchell and Cameron looked like it was also influenced by Master Troška. That was a joke, next time people could maybe kick each other in the rear. Alex's speech sealed off all this gloominess at the end. 4* - "Well, Gandhi went on a hunger strike for what he believed in!" "That's because no one wanted to sit with him in the cafeteria." "Jay bought it for us to ride together, but I kick myself in the chest with my knees while pedaling." "She's got issues, doesn't she?"
