"American Skyper" is the twenty-fourth and final episode of the sixth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 144th episode overall. It originally aired on May 20, 2015. The episode was written by Elaine Ko and directed by Steven Levitan.

In the episode, the whole family (except from Phil who is in Seattle and joins them via a telepresence robot) gathers at Jay and Gloria's place to celebrate Alex's graduation. Claire tries all day to make the perfect gift to Alex but everytime she finds something, someone else of the family ruins it for her. Cameron and Mitchell's offer for the apartment they want to buy is accepted but Mitchell wants Phil to "kill the deal" because he has lost his job and they cannot afford it at the moment. Cameron, who does not know about Mitchell losing his job, he thinks that Mitchell is cheating on him. Gloria's cousin stays with them for few days, something that Jay does not like since he is not doing anything than sitting around the house and drinking. Haley believes that Andy's girlfriend, Beth, is insane but no one seems to believe her, while Andy plans to propose to Bethany. Phil realizes that Andy and Haley love each other and tries to stop the proposal.

"American Skyper" received positive reviews from critics.

The family is gathered at Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria's (Sofia Vergara) house to celebrate Alex's (Ariel Winter) high school graduation except for Phil (Ty Burrell), who is in Seattle and joins them via a telepresence robot. Claire (Julie Bowen) stresses about giving Alex a perfect graduation gift after Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Jay unknowingly outperform her. Alex tells her mother that she does not have to offer her a present, since it is thanks to her that she graduated and tells her that the only gift she wants from her is to join her on her trip to Europe.

Mitchell and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) learn that their offer was accepted and that they will have the apartment above theirs in order to transform it into a guest room. However, Mitchell wants Phil to "kill the deal" because he has lost his job and they cannot afford buying the apartment. Cameron does not know about this and due to Mitchell's behavior, he believes that Mitchell has been having an affair. He confronts Mitchell who tells him the truth and how he spends all his days in the park where he met and befriended an old man named Spencer (Lou Beatty Jr), and his cockatoo George.
