Modern Family RECAP 10/16/13: Season 5 Episode 5 “The Late Show”

Tonight is ABC’s hit show Modern Family  continues with another new episode called ‘’The Late Show.”    On tonight’s show Mitch and Cam end up putting on the same outfit.  Did you watch last week’s two-hour season premiere?  We did and we recapped it right here for you.

On last week’s episode Cameron’s older, single sister Pam (guest star Dana Powell) was coming for a visit, and Cam was in a panic to hide the engagement until he could delicately break the news to her, but it turned out she has news of her own. Phil and Claire made a joint, guilt-ridden decision to miss one of Luke’s soccer games – that is – until one of them went behind the other’s back, and Gloria was in denial that she might need reading glasses.

On tonight’s show Jay pulled a lot of strings to get reservations at the hottest new restaurant for a family adult’s night out. Unfortunately, in each household everyone is running late – Gloria is taking forever to get ready per usual, Claire and Phil get in a tiff about letting Luke stay home alone, and Mitch and Cam end up putting on the same outfit.

We will be live blogging tonight’s episode with all the up-to-the-minute details.   So come back at 9PM EST and spend the evening with us.  Make sure to refresh often to get the latest updates!  While you wait for the episode take a look at the sneak peek videos below of tonight’s episode.  Enjoy!

Cameron doesn’t want to change, neither does Mitchell. Lilly has to decide who wears it best, she doesn’t want to, neither does Alex.

Gloria wants a compliment from Jay, but it is Haley that tells her that her hair looks great before they go out. Jay then tells Gloria that new earrings will tie the whole outfit in.

Claire gives Luke a whole emergency drill before letting him stay home alone. Phil is wearing a new suit, he barely could get into it and if he bends down it is going to split.
