Plot

It’s Halloween and Luke (Nolan Gould) organizes a party. However, Claire (Julie Bowen) and Phil (Ty Burrell) realize that no one is going to turn up. With the help of Phil, who body pops in a beaver costume, and Claire, who manages to convince people to leave another more popular party to go to Luke’s, the party proves to be a success.

Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofía Vergara) dress themselves as Joseph and Mary, as Joe is supposed to be Jesus. Manny (Rico Rodriguez) has chosen a Dalton Trumbo costume, which no one recognizes to a party at Earl Chambers' house. Jay initially wants Manny to play a prank on Earl, but after an angry confrontation he decides to bury the hatchet and end the feud. Finally, Manny is dropped at Luke’s place and meets girl wearing a Dorothy Parker costume who finally identifies his Trumbo outfit.

Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson), Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) and Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) pursue a boy who Cameron believes threw an egg at him. It turns out that the boy didn't throw it, it actually was Claire, in response to Mitchell who began a prank war against his older sister. However, Claire missed Mitchell and hit Cameron instead. Cameron is very happy however, that his husband stood up for him when confronted by the boy's father.

Reception

Kyle Fowle of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B-.[1]

gollark: Humans with ~current technology, even.
gollark: It's not reasonable to just assume that the hyperadvanced aliens checking out some other planet will just be basically humans with fancy ships.
gollark: ?!
gollark: Why would they not:- look at stuff from orbit beforehand, or send unmanned probes- have at least basic weaponry available for defense against possibly hostile native life- have waaaay better medical technology and/or environmental protection stuff, thus making the deinosuchi not very threatening
gollark: Oh, and they need good shielding against high-velocity particles, which might work okay against some weapons fire.
