Plot

Continuing from the previous episode, the Pritchett family arrives in Hawaii.

Phil (Ty Burrell) wants to turn the vacation into a honeymoon with his wife, as they never got to have a proper one before, or even a proper wedding, due to the unexpected pregnancy to Haley (Sarah Hyland). Claire (Julie Bowen) is concerned that due to their kids, this will not be possible, but Phil tries nonetheless.

Phil takes Claire to an adults-only pool, abandoning their kids with Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet). Enjoying their private time, Haley interrupts them by saying she is going to hang out with some kids she just met. Claire is obviously concerned, but Phil manages to convince her to not worry about it. Later, however, Claire learns from Alex (Ariel Winter) that Haley was drunk and throwing up in the bathroom. Claire consoles her and tells that this would happen every time she drinks alcohol. Later, Phil surprises Claire by having a wedding ceremony prepared, allowing them to have the wedding they wanted.

Mitchell tries to get Cameron to come sight-seeing with him, though Cameron just wishes to relax. Cameron pretends to want to go, though he finally decides not to go on one of his tours. Mitchell ends up going alone, and then returns to relax with Cameron apologizing for wanting him to go with him. Later, Mitchell and Cameron accidentally leave Lily in the elevator and they lose her but Gloria (SofĂ­a Vergara) finds her and brings her back to them. A while later though, Mitchell and Cameron lose Lily again when they go to a banana plantation.

Jay (Ed O'Neill) is eager to relax and eat fatty foods, though a call from his brother reminds him that his father had died at 63 due to his poor health. Jay is inspired to take better care of himself, prompting him to spend the vacation working out and being more active, annoying Gloria who had just wished to relax. At the end of the day, Jay ends up having his back give way, resting in a hammock and being late for his birthday dinner. Phil goes to find him, leading to an awkward moment where Phil ends up lying on top of Jay. Phil helps him back to the party, where Jay reveals to Gloria why he is being more active and that he does not want to end up like his father. Afterwards, Jay gives in and relaxes with Gloria, ordering fatty foods as well.

On the plane home, Claire is horrified when Phil tells her that he has lined up a female colleague of his as a replacement for her in the event of Claire's death.
