Fantastic performance from Jesse Tyler Ferguson

Warning: Spoilers
Over the seasons you've seen signs of Jay's acceptance of his son's sexuality and also struggling to grapple with it. This all takes it's tole on Mitch who earnestly seeks his father's approval and it boils into a heated and heartbreaking debate between the two. Ferguson's performance feels vulnerable and deeply emotional. Fine work here from the writers for going for the heartstrings with a carefully set up and affecting conversation between father and son.

Was this written by somebody new?

Thought this was the best written this show of all the shows. It was clever it had twist interns that are unexpected and it wasn't the typical formula that they've used before. Was it a new writer for the show? Is it a new team of writers for the specific episode? There was more cleverness to this episode, it was as if all the weaving parts were woven together very differently than they have before. The timing was also a lot better than it's ever been before between Claire and Phil they had some really great scenes And it was really fantastic to have Jay Gloria and the kids all competing for whatever that disgusting thing was that they hated Stella really took the show this time
