For me, this is more like it! This episode was another breath of fresh air from Modern Family, an example of the show firing on all cylinders. I've heard some people say this episode wasn't as good as the premiere, but for me, this episode was funnier, tied together better and gave us better work from some of the actors.
The episode is mainly about Mitch and Cam planning to announce their intentions of adopting a new boy. Modern Family is one of those shows that doesn't exactly have season-long plot points, but I'm glad to see the writers trying right now. Anyways, the problem with the adoption is that Lily (who is now a walking, talking girl, which makes for some great new scenarios for them) doesn't want a new brother and says things like "Kill the new baby" that scares any parent that may think about giving their kid to Mitch and Cam. Mitch and Cam both have very different ideas of where Lily is picking up the bad habit, and much of the fun in the episode is trying to figure it out.
Meanwhile, Phil accidentally knocks Claire over at a grocery store and denies that it was his fault. She ends up going on a vendetta to prove Phil did this, which makes the Dunphy family wonder why in the world Claire is so obsessed with always being right. There's other plots involving the kids, but it's not as important.
What worked so well about the episode is how Mitch and Cam and Phil and Claire's plots all tied together and we were left, as usual, with that good warm fuzzy feeling that Modern Family leaves you with. For me, this episode had funnier lines and great use of Lily, who seems to be giving us some funnier scenes to work with now that she can talk.
