- Cam says that Maria is often sung, although rather than singing "Maria" from West Side Story, he sings the Schubert hymn Ave Maria. Jay tells Sharona not to come over, in case Cam sings "My Sharona." He later tries to lead into Paul Simon's "Me and Julio Down by the Schoolyard." The masseur's name is Aweemaway, suggesting "The Lion Sleeps Tonight."
- Claire's paper is on the Monroe Doctrine.
Reviews
- The A.V. Club gave it a "B": I love when Manny is absent for an entire episode.
- TV Fanatic gave it 2.5 / 5.0: Sometimes Jay will have a laugh-out-loud line or Haley will let one fly, but the rest of them hardly ever get a zany and solid line to throw at the crowd. They're great actors, but the storylines in Modern Family have become overall dull and expected.
