After deciding to adopt a second child, Mitch and Cam finally get a call saying that their baby is being born. Because the family speaks Spanish, even though Cam claims he understands it, they bring Gloria with them and miss Lilyās dance recital in the process.Ā
Mitch and Cam learn, telenovela style, that the mother decided to keep the baby. Itās not all bad news, though. Gloria learns that sheās pregnant.Ā
āFamily Portraitā (Season 1)
The Pritchetts all have their little issues. For Mitch, thatās a fear of birds and small talk. For Claire, thatās being a perfectionist, which is especially troublesome when she tries to schedule a family portrait.
In this episode, the family members reconvene at Jayās house to take a nice picture together. Of course, things donāt go exactly as Claire planned, so she freaks out.Ā
āThe Wedding ā Part 2ā (Season 5)
Mitch and Cam had their whole wedding planned out, that is, before everything went wrong. A forest fire forcing the guests to evacuate the wedding venue was truly the icing on top of the wedding cake.Ā

āA Year of Birthdaysā (Season 10)
As the birth of Haley and Dylanās twins quickly approaches, the Dunphy-Pritchett-Tucker clan reflected on the past birthdays theyāve celebrated. That includes Philās birthday, loaded with activities like playing the piano and learning Spanish.
āAmerican Skyperā (Season 6)
As the episode ranked the highest on IMDb (an 8.8 out of 10,) this episode has a few surprising subplots happening the same day as Alexās graduation party.

The doctor told him he couldnāt fly back home but, thanks to the miracle of technology, he could still (virtually) spend the day with the family. He even figures out that Haley and Andy have feelings for each other.Ā
