Across town, Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) get held up during a last minute gift run to the mall, while Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) are held back by their competitive natures. After the topic of the Dunphy’s annual visit to Family Camp comes up, the couple gets in a not-so-friendly car race. St. Elsewhere alum Norman Lloyd and Norma Michaels guest star as Donald and Helen.
Cougar Town rounds out the comedy block with Little Girl Blues. Jules (Courteney Cox) is all smiles when Trav (Dan Byrd) brings home his first college girlfriend (Collette Wolfe) and the guys are impressed he’s nabbed an older woman.
