Plot

Luke (Nolan Gould) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) are in charge of babysitting Lilly (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) when all adults have planned a wild night.

Claire (Julie Bowen) was offered a free spa week-end for two but since Phil (Ty Burrell) is too ticklish , it’s Gloria (Sofía Vergara) who goes with her. When the two arrive, they decide to phone the boys in order to see if everything is OK. But when she hears that they baked cookies, Claire rushes back to the house, followed by Gloria since their oven is broken and it’s not possible for them to bake anything. Luke tells her that Manny made a mistake and that they actually made pancakes in order to make them leave. Unbeknownst to them, Manny and Luke actually planned a party and bribed Lilly in order to make them more confident. Lilly moved the party upstairs so the mothers didn't have to find out about it.

But their project is over when Phil goes with Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) to a nerd projection and also rushes back to the house when he does not have any news from Luke. The duo hopes to be ready to see the film, but they accidentally ate pot gums which makes them stoned and delirious. They spend the night searching clues and proofs that a party took place in the Dunphys' house.

Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) have better luck when they have to watch a sport game in a bar. They bet with two strangers that their favorite will win and then try to give it their money back by daring them to various games including babyfoot and pool. As they run out of idea, they go to the Dunphys' house in order to play ping-pong. That’s when Claire almost makes them for party guests and Luke and Manny are almost relieved but a guest crashes the pong table in order to go to another party, making Claire know she was right. For Jay and Cameron, however, it was a good moment as they became closer.

As the parents discuss in the living room, Phil, though he remains stoned, makes them realize that they’re not as perfect as they imagined, and they conclude that though the boys deserve to be punished, they also would have done the same thing as teenagers.
