The funeral service for a beloved clown mentor reunites Cameron with his estranged ex-clown partner, Lewis ; Phil is serious about landing a very important listing, only to get trumped by a notorious bulldozer of an agent, Verna Roth ; and Manny has a cool new friend, which makes both Jay and Gloria suspicious.

Claire delicately helps Luke cope with the fact that his friend and their old neighbor, Walt, has passed. Phil takes Alex for some father-daughter bonding time, and Haley throws an unauthorized party. Meanwhile, Jay and Gloria go over to Mitch and Cam's to have dinner with Cam's father, Merle, who is in town visiting -- and awkwardness and tension seem to be the rule of the night.
