Meanwhile, Jay invites Phil to a flying lesson, in which Dylan invites himself. During this time, Phil wants to redeem his dignity but accidentally knocks out himself with the plane. At first, he is mad at Jay but then he discusses with Cameron and learns that Jay acted to him as a father. Plus, he too acted like this to Dylan. Elsewhere, Gloria tries to use Claire to do all her work while she feels homesick from her boss statut. Manny, who recently used a girl whose name was Jessica comforts her while Haley, Alex and Luke stay with a mad chief who also was Alex's ex and acts to them as a tyrant when he forces them to cook a perfect Thanksgiving meal. In the end, Phil punches Neil the chief with a mini plane, and Claire regains her boss statut for the meal.
