We are introduced to three family units; the Pritchards (Jay, Gloria and Manny), an interracial and intergenerational couple; the Dunphys (Claire, Phil and their three kids Haley, Alex and Luke), a 'typical' heterosexual two-point-five kids nuclear family; and Mitch and Cameron, a gay couple.

Each of the families faces challenges based on their unique circumstances; Jay, in his sixties, has recently married young immigrant Gloria, and is now trying hard to keep up with his much younger and hotter Colombian wife, along with her passionate pre-teen son, Manny. Claire, meanwhile, is having a hard time raising her own family, and is particularly concerned that her eldest daughter Haley has some 'wild' tendencies that are mirroring Claire's own unfortunate past -- a situation not helped by Haley inviting a boy around for the first time. Her husband Phil is great, except that he thinks he's "down" with their three kids, much to all their embarrassment. And Mitch and his enthusiastic partner Cameron have just made a major life change by adopting a Vietnamese baby named Lily -- but now Mitchell must face the prospect of revealing this to his rather judgemental family, as Cameron has forced the issue by inviting them all to dinner that evening.

* ChekhovsGun: A quite literal example. One of the conflicts between Phil and Claire's kids towards the beginning is that Luke shoots Alex with a pellet gun. Luke insists it was an accident. When attempting to punish Luke accordingly at the end, Phil goes on to accidentally shoot three people; Luke, himself, and Haley's boyfriend Dylan.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Jay is clearly a rather blunt and old-fashioned father, hasn't quite come to terms with his son's homosexuality, and has some rather insensitive things to say when Mitch brings up that he and Cam have been thinking of adopting. On learning that they have ''already'' adopted, however, he makes it abundantly clear that he nevertheless accepts and supports his son's decision and happily welcomes his new granddaughter into the family.

He's also a bit blunt in his lack of support to Manny's desire to approach his crush, but it's largely because he doesn't want Manny to be hurt and embarrassed.

* {{Foreshadowing}}: In one scene, Phil and Claire discuss their arrangements for that evening, where Claire notes that they have to leave for "that dinner thing" later in the evening. In a later scene, Cam reveals to Mitch that he has invited his family over so that he can reveal their adoption of Lily, reasoning that if Cam left it to Mitch he'd never work up the nerve to do it because he's an "avoider". The end of the episode, of course, reveals that Claire is Mitch's sister when she and her family arrive for dinner that night.
