This also includes Jay and Gloria's attempt to avoid Thanksgiving with their family and Lily, keeping Mitchell and Cameron occupied.
Phil also downloaded an app of Nigella Lawson to his phone, who talks to him and guides him on how to cook a turkey.
While in the garage playing with Phil's inventions, they accidentally blow up the fuse box and cut power to the house, so they decide to move the dinner to Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria's (Sofía Vergara) house, since they are supposed to be abroad in Mexico.
When the Dunphys get to the house, they try to stay hidden in the bedroom so the rest of the family will not find out about their lie.
Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) have some trouble making Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) understand that she cannot always do or have what she wants.
When Lily gets ready for the dinner but does not wear the dress they picked for her, Cameron tries to explain her that she has to put it on.
After Mitch and Cameron leave, Jay and Gloria decide that they cannot keep hiding and plan to tell everyone that they just came back early to surprise them.
He tells Gloria to retrieve it, but she unknowingly takes Phil's turkey instead of theirs, and places it in one of their suitcases.
