The whole family is invited to Jay and Gloria's for some barbecue and football. However an earlier incident at school between Manny and Luke makes things very awkward for Gloria and Claire, and then things escalate when a not-so-flattering label is uttered.

- Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Just as Manny and Luke make up and everyone is getting along, Luke lets it slip that his mom Claire said that Manny's mom Gloria used to "dig coal". Revealing that Claire called Gloria a golddigger.
- Wicked Stepmother: Claire occasionally feels this way about Gloria. However, the show overall actually presents an Aversion of this trope, since even though Gloria is the same age as her step-kids she's shown to be far more involved and caring than the woman who raised them.
