Over at Cam and Mitchell's they're excited because Lily's flower girl dress arrives. They are disgusted by the tackiness of the fabric, since she'll look like Little Bo Peep but even worse...it lights up; but Lily loves it. However, they put that aside and decide to train her to walk down the aisle throwing the rose petals.
Jay arrives home and is dismayed that dog Stella doesn't greet him at the door. He sees her in the pool and thinks she's drowning so he jumps in and saves her. Manny takes the blame as he gets caught up in his couponing. Jay suggests swimming lessons for the dog but Gloria suggests maybe teaching her to not jump in the pool. Stella jumps right back in and Jay right after her.
At the mock debate at the Dunphy house, the Dunphys are tearing Claire's every little idiosyncrasies apart. Eye rolling, pursed lips, face touching, pointing, hands on hips as well as sarcasm are just some of Claire's faults. Alex asks her the first question asking her why she's running for office but Claire can't get through it. The kids and Phil heckle and criticize her which brings her to the brink of insanity especially them arguing over which was the worse side of her face. (Can Phil Dunphy run for public office? Please?!?!?)
Lily's flower girl rehearsal is going well and Daddys are totally proud until out of nowhere Lily drops the F Bomb. Mitchell is horrified and Cam bursts into giggles and runs out of the room. Cameron has two weaknesses, children cursing and old people rapping. They differ on how to deal with it but she repeats it again and Cam runs from the room laughing again.
At the town hall, Claire is scared because the debate is televised. Luke tells her to do something crazy and stupid so that it'll go viral. Alex encourages her and tells her she's a strong woman and to not be intimidated by the men in the room. Jay, Gloria, Manny and Stella are there to support. Stella's presence confuses everyone but Jay thinks she's suicidal. Councilman Dwayne Bayley (Mr. Tobias Funke himself) overhears their conversation and agrees that doggy suicide is a real thing. "It's just the mainstream media doesn't report on it because it's not as sexy as feline AIDS." Mr. Bayley thinks Stella can sense Gloria doesn't like her.
Cam and Mitchell try to find the public access channel with Claire's debate on it. Lily comes in to watch it with them and they decide to talk to her about the F bomb. They tell her it's a bad word but she doesn't understand because it makes Daddy Cam laugh. Mitch threatens to take away all her toys. They worry that she'll say it at the wedding. Cam suggests that they say that they refuse to go to anymore weddings until the gays can get married but Mitchell scoffs "Okay, now we're political. We leave town on Gay Pride weekend because we don't like the traffic."
At the debate, Claire holds her own taking all the notes that her family gave her. Her family is proud. Then it goes for a dirty turn and Mr. Bayley brings up Phil's lude behavior at the hotel on Valentine's Day. The police report tells how he broke into a stranger's room, stripped naked and posed provocatively on the bed. Claire explains the misunderstanding to the horror of her family. Cam and Mitchell watch in horror from home and claim this is their new favorite show. Claire gets nervous and reverts back to all of her bad habits as the audience starts to heckle her. Phil tries to defend her but he just makes the situation way worse. The worst part (or the best part for us) is that they go viral...and audio-tuned! (Please watch the auto tune version...it's genius).
Gloria is ready for the wedding but the boys are taking forever. She hears Stella once again outside and she's on the edge of the pool. She tries to talk her down off the ledge but Stella jumps. So Gloria jumps awkwardly in the pool to save her. (Gotta give Sofia Vergara credit. She is beautiful, but she's not afraid to get ugly). Jay is touched that Gloria saved her and orders Manny to get her a towel. Jay immediately dries off the dog.
At the wedding, Mitchell and Cam pretend unsuccessfully that they didn't see the debate. Phil admits it was a train wreck and Mitch tells her it was phenomenal television. They all marvel at Lily's dress but she's been placed on verbal lock down and Mitch reveals that she's been dropping the F Bomb.
Lily walks down the aisle successfully as they all marvel at her. Cam begins to cry as he always does at weddings. Lily doesn't like to see Daddy cry so she repeatedly yells the F Bomb. The entire family laughs hysterically.
Jay fits Stella with a life jacket so she doesn't drown. They find her favorite toy in the filter and realize she has just been trying to retrieve it not commit suicide. Gloria wants to kill him.
Seriously, watch the auto tune video.
