Sarah wasn't able to attend the SAG awards on January 29th due to health issues. She says in an US Weekly article that she is often shown sitting or leaning due to the pain. Walking up the stairs serves as her workout for the week. I didn't know her kidney transplant came from her dad. Well, I hope she's doing better now.
Back to this episode. I don't think the Dunphy's would care about Luke going to a community college, and I think Nolan is growing out of his awkward stage very nicely. I couldn't handle being around a kid like Manny, or Cam for that matter. I just couldn't. I'm fully expecting Lily to be 15 and goth by the end of the season. Phil and Jay are the glue. The character of Claire annoys me a lot, but Julie plays her well. And I can't help but love Sofia, she's ridiculous, but crazy like a fox. Mitch.. Eh.. I like when he's falling over trying to catch water bottles, running from birds, pointing guns at people, tripping over bushes, and nailing himself in playhouses.
