What is Modern Family?
Modern Family is an American comedy-drama sitcom that was created by Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd. The show's mockumentary style of filming was the highlight of the series, as the characters were shown frequently speaking directly to the camera in confessional interview segments during each of its episodes.
The show is based on three families who are interrelated to each other through Jay Pritchett, his daughter Claire Pritchett, and his son Mitchell Pritchett. The show not only focuses on three families coming together but also focuses on their individual lives and how to tackle all the hurdles with ease.
The series shows three different types of families (nuclear, blended, and same-sex) living in the Los Angeles area. As the name suggests, the family represents a modern-day family and each episode is inspired by situations that many families encounter in real life.
What happens in the finale episode of the Modern Family?
The finale episode of Modern Family is divided into two parts. The first part shows Claire and Phil Dunphy's house being overcrowded with Haley, Dylan with their two twins, Alex moving back after quitting her job, and Luke who is still there not deciding anything about college. This irks Claire and Phil who in the end give all of them the ultimate by saying that one of them has to move out of the house.
Meanwhile, Mitchell and Cam are seen celebrating buying their new house along with their newly adopted baby Redford. During the housewarming party, Cam receives a call and gets to know that the coaching job at Missouri is open and he can reapply for it. At first, Cam refrains from telling Mitchell about the opportunity but eventually, Mitchell finds out and reacts positively but walks away.
Whereas in Jay and Gloria's life, Gloria is preparing to say goodbye to her son Manny who is leaving to travel the world. While she and her younger son Joe will be going to Colombia to spend the summer. During everything, Gloria feels left out and not needed. By the end of the episode, Claire and Phil return back home from the housewarming party to tell their kids that they can stay but only to find that all their three kids have decided to move out.
Mitchell tells Cam that he is ready to move to Missouri with him along with their family. While Gloria confesses her feelings to Jay and he consoles her by saying that she will always be needed by him, Joe and Manny. The show ends with the family gathering to send Mitchell and Cam off.
In the second part of the finale episode, the family is shown gathering and spending time for the last time as Mitchell and Cam's flight gets delayed. Part two is on the emotional side and the whole family spends time for one last time before moving out and pursuing their own goals. In the end, the camera is shown panning through various photos of the 3 families. Claire and Phil plan to go on an RV road trip while their kids move out. Alex finds a new job, Luke sets out for college, and Haley along with Dylan moves into Uncle Mitchell and Cam's previous house.
Meanwhile, Jay says that he will be accompanying Gloria and Joe to Colombia and also is learning Spanish. And lastly, Mitchell and Cam are seen on a flight enjoying cream puffs with their kids while en route to Missouri.
