GLORIA'S HOT SAUCE IS FINALLY IN THE MARKETS, BUT JAY SECRETLY HATES HOW IT'S BEING MARKETED WITH A LARGER-THAN-LIFE CUTOUT OF GLORIA, ON ABC'S "MODERN FAMILY"

"Thunk in the Trunk" - Now that Claire has been running the closet business for a while, she and Phil have fallen into a new rhythm, with Claire assuming the role of the wheeling and dealing breadwinner and Phil as the invisible housewife, but Phil will not stand for being ignored and underappreciated for long.
