The Last Walt
"The Last Walt" is the 20th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family and the series' 68th episode overall. This episode originally aired on ABC on April 18, 2012. It was written by Dan O'Shannon, Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh and directed by Michael Spiller.
Claire (Julie Bowen) and Phil (Ty Burrell) regrettably inform Luke (Nolan Gould) that their elderly neighbor Walt, with whom Luke has become close friends, has died. Claire is worried by Luke's seemingly lack of emotion upon hearing the news while Phil is confused because Claire smiled while telling Luke. Later, Phil and Claire see Luke steal a television from Walt's house.
Claire attempts to get Luke to open up and learns that Walt told Luke he could take one thing when he died; still, she feels uncomfortable with the situation and accompanies Luke back to Walt's house to return the television. There, the woman who delivered meals to Walt and the postman comment negatively on Claire's smiling when she informs them that Walt has died. Luke reflects that he'll miss looking out his window and seeing the light from the television through Walt's window; Claire lets him keep the television and calls Phil to inform him that Luke is fine.
Phil learns that Walt was estranged from his daughter. Worried that he and Alex (Ariel Winter) will end up like that, he attempts to make an adventure for the two of them out of honoring Walt's last request--throwing his dog tags into the ocean. Alex is somewhat against the idea and not eager to go, but upon arriving at the beach, a seagull steals the dog tags and flies off. As they drive home, Phil sees an advertisement from a restaurant claiming to have the "world's best milkshakes" and makes a detour to stop. Seeing that their server is pregnant, he decides to try and induce labor so he and Alex will still have an adventurous night. Alex inquires about his odd behavior and he confesses to wanting to make meaningful memories, telling her the story of astronaut Eugene Cernan who carved his daughter's initials on the moon. Alex is sympathetic, then throws up. As the two leave the restaurant--having had a successful bonding adventure--Phil receives Claire's call as he writes Alex's initials the restaurant's sign with features a moon.
Haley (Sarah Hyland) wants to throw a party at Jay and Gloria's (Sofía Vergara), but Gloria only agrees if Haley can find a chaperone who Claire and Phil approve of. She also insists Manny (Rico Rodriguez) stay so he can socialize with people his age; Haley was counting on this and tells Claire that her "uncle"--which Manny could technically be considered--will be present. Thinking Haley means Mitchell or Cam, Claire agrees. Throughout the night, Manny is ardently against all the activities Haley's guests participate in, such as drinking. When Gloria returns home unexpectedly, she chastises Haley for being too reckless and Manny for being too mature. As punishment, Haley is forced to continue the party with Manny attempting to participate instead of chaperone.
Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) host Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Cam's father Merle (Barry Corbin) for dinner. The two have never bonded which causes Cam and Mitch to suspect they dislike one another. Jay is upset when Merle gifts Cam and Mitch watches but Mitch's appears more feminine. While helping disassemble a bed, Jay confesses that he feels Merle treats Mitch as if he is Cam's wife; Merle confesses that pretending like Mitch is partially a woman makes the relationship easier for him to process. Jay admits to sometimes feeling similar, and the two resolve to treat both Cam and Mitch as equal partners in the relationship.
This episode was written by Dan O'Shannon, Paul Corrigan and Brad Walsh, and directed by Michael Spiller. Along with the main cast, this episode featured Barry Corbin as Merle Tucker, Cameron's father.
The episode was watched by 10.21 million viewers with an adult 18-49 rating/share of 4.1/11, a slight decline from the previous episode, "Election Day".
