Overview

"The Late Show" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 101st overall. It aired on October 16, 2013. The episode was written by Abraham Higginbotham and directed by Beth McCarthy-Miller. The episode deals with the difficulties that can arise in relationships and the petty squabbles that can have injurious effects for those close. Plot Jay (Ed O'Neill) has made a reservation for the family at a restaurant that he has had to wait six weeks for. However, when the time comes, no one is ready. Gloria (Sofía Vergara) takes ages to get ready after she came home late from the hairdresser. When she finally comes downstairs, Haley (Sarah Hyland), who is there to babysit Joe, remarks that her earrings aren't big enough, so they both head back upstairs. Jay tries to remain calm about the whole situation and asks Manny (Rico Rodriguez) to tell Gloria to hurry for him. Gloria and Haley come downstairs, but when Gloria needs to go change her lipstick, Jay reaches his breaking point and admonishes her for always being late, as well as rude for making everyone else wait for them. When they arrive at the restaurant, they discover that they are the first ones there and cannot be seated until the whole party is present. At the Dunphy house, Phil (Ty Burrell) has put on a new suit to look nice for Claire (Julie Bowen), but it's too tight and he can barely move in it. Claire comes home from work but she does not notice the suit. She is stressed from work and she is upset to learn that Phil has allowed Luke (Nolan Gould) to stay home alone at his request (with Haley watching baby Joe and Alex (Ariel Winter) watching Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) while they're all out). Phil tries to convince her that Luke is going to be okay and that he is old enough to stay home alone, with not much luck. On their way to the restaurant, Claire has a feeling that something is wrong and they return home to check on Luke, who mistakes Claire for an intruder and blasts her with a paintball gun as soon as she enters. Claire's warnings of intruders have scared him and now he needs to be driven over to Jay's to be with Haley and Manny.
