Laura was a client of Phil Dunphy's who loved to speed drive through the suburban streets in "Slow Down Your Neighbors".
Claire tried to catch and stop a sports car that was speeding through the suburban streets, while Phil sold a house nearby for a difficult client, Laura, who happened to be the car driver. Claire printed out several posters, intending to say "slow down," with the license plate of the car below, signed "your neighbors". However, the rest of her family pointed out the posters actually stated "slow down your neighbors". Regardless, Claire ordered Phil to put them up. Later, Claire chased the car on a bicycle, but lost it. She then met Phil at the open house, where he had arranged for Laura and was introduced to her. Laura was just about to leave and offered Claire a lift back to her home. She entered the car realizing too late that Laura was the driver she despised, which made Claire to get very angry at Phil, so he bought her a dozen Mylar balloons to apologize.
