"Career Day" is the 21st episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 93rd episode overall. It was aired on May 1, 2013. The episode was written by Paul Corrigan & Brad Walsh and it was directed by Jim Hensz.
It is Career Day at Luke (Nolan Gould) and Manny's (Rico Rodriguez) school so their parents have to go to school with them and talk about their jobs. Phil (Ty Burrell), while trying to talk about real estate, is upstaged by his "Nemesis", Gil Thorpe (Rob Riggle), who is also there for his son, and Phil's presentation is ruined. Later, Gil offers Claire (Julie Bowen) a position at his company, something that Phil does not like and tries to convince Claire not to accept it but she decides to take the job anyway. However, after one day at Gil's company, Claire quits the job since he treats her in a misogynistic way.
Jay (Ed O'Neill) reveals to Gloria that he always wanted to be a writer and had intended to start writing after his divorce with DeDe, but "life got in the way". Gloria (Sofía Vergara) tells him that he can not write and she challenges him to write the thriller novel that he said he put aside because of lack of time. Jay tries to write but he struggles with it and Manny is the one who ends up writing the story. Jay presents it to Gloria as his but after Manny's reaction to her critique, the truth of who wrote the story comes out.
Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) loses her first tooth and she waits for the tooth fairy. Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) accidentally give her $100 instead of $1. They try to get the money back but Lily does not seem to want to give it back. They ask for Haley's (Sarah Hyland) help, who dressed up as the tooth fairy, tries to convince Lily that she has to return her the money but Lily recognizes her. Haley tries another approach (telling Lily she will be on Santa's "naughty list" for the rest of her life) which works, leaving Cam and Mitch surprised by Haley's success.
