Modern Family returns from its three-week hiatus with a party! In fact, there are two events happening at the same time and it's likely something that Claire Dunphy (played by Julie Bowen) won't be able to handle.
Modern Family season 10 episode 15, which airs on Wednesday, Feb. 20, at 9:00 p.m. on ABC, will feature the baby shower for Haley (played by Sarah Hyland). Claire is hosting the event for her first-born child at the house of Jay (played by Ed O'Neill) but there could be a bit of a problem.
Jay, apparently, is also hosting a Super Bowl party at his house, according to the episode synopsis. Expectedly, this causes some problems for the always uptight Claire as something is bound to mess up the baby shower.
Modern Family season 10 episode 15 will feature guest star Nathan Lane as Pepper. Christian Barillas, Jimmy Tatro, Jaime Moyer and Isabella Coben are also going to drop in on the party.
Meanwhile, prior to the show's hiatus, it was revealed that Haley is carrying twins with boyfriend Dylan (Reid Ewing). Panic-stricken about her future, Haley told the doctor that her ultrasound result may have been a mistake.
Fortunately, her mom was with her when they found out the shocking news. Claire assured her daughter that, while being a mom will be complicated, Haley was going to be okay. Claire also told her grown-up child that her maternal instincts will kick in when her children are in trouble and that if she's going to feel overwhelmed, Claire will be there to help with the twins.
News of Haley's pregnancy on Modern Family, however, has sparked spinoff talks. ABC has confirmed that the series will have one more year season 11 will be its swan song. As such, there have been discussions of where the show's characters might go next.
"They intend to really, really go out big," ABC Entertainment head Karey Burke said, as per E! Online. "So, it would be terrific if a spinoff were part of that."
Hyland, however, hasn't addressed the rumored spinoff. She posted a sad face emoji on her Instagram when ABC confirmed season 11 will be Modern Family's run. The actress also acknowledge that she had the best job and the best opportunity to be part of a long-running show. Hyland was barely 18 when she was cast in the series and she's now pushing 30.
