Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) puts on a school production of the "Phantom of the Opera", but when their main star falls ill, Manny (Rico Rodriguez) pulls all the stops to land the lead part. When Cameron hears Luke (Nolan Gould) singing, he wants him to take the lead. So Manny tells him that he will talk to Luke to convince him. Instead, he terrifies Luke and Luke does not accept the part. When later Cameron asks Manny to hear Luke singing so he can see how to make it right, Manny understands that it is not right what he did and he lets Luke take the leading part of the play.
Cam has Gloria (Sofia Vergara) running for the errands of the play and she takes Alex (Ariel Winter) with her for help. Since they have some time to kill, Gloria takes Alex to her psychic (Norma Maldonado). Alex, who does not believe in psychics, she is having fun with the whole thing and she wants to tell Gloria that her psychic is fake, but at the end she changes her mind.
Meanwhile, Phil (Ty Burrell) decides that learning how to golf is necessary for his business and Jay (Ed O'Neill) agrees to teach him. Phil is really excited for that but he is not the best student someone could ask for. While they are golfing, Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) gets there with his friend Pepper (Nathan Lane). Mitch tells his dad that he has been practicing for a while now and the four of them end up playing a game; Jay and Phil against Mitch and Pepper.
