Luke and Phil, along with Haley, "kidnap" Alex for her Senior Ditch Day after her not wanting to participate. Cameron and Mitchell believe that Lily is incapable of showing her feelings and worry about it, while Gloria does not like Manny's new girlfriend, Kylie, and tries everything to make Manny break up with her.
"Crying Out Loud" received positive reviews from critics.
It is Alex's (Ariel Winter) Senior Ditch Day, but she has no desire to make plans for the special day. Phil (Ty Burrell) asks her along with Haley (Sarah Hyland), to join him in the car because Luke (Nolan Gould) was injured and he was at the hospital. In the car, they realize that Phil tricked them so they - and especially Alex - can celebrate the day. On their way out, Phil drives past an old theater that he helped build many years ago and now it is about to be demolished. Upon entering, Phil finds a slab of cement with Haley and Alex's footprints. Phil and Luke attempt to take the cement home with them, while Haley and Alex argue. Haley and Alex then watch Phil and Luke humorously repeatedly fail to remove the cement, and Haley reveals that she is worried Alex will not contact her after she leaves for college. Alex then implies that she has learnt a lot about life from Haley over the years, and tells her she would never forget to stay in touch with her sister.
Gloria (Sofía Vergara) is unimpressed with Manny's (Rico Rodriguez) new girlfriend, Kylie (Lexi Dibenedetto), and uses his sudden memory loss after an operation to trick him into believing Kylie never showed up to be by his side. Gloria does everything she can so Manny will not understand that she is lying to him and that Kylie was with him almost all day but she fails when Manny sees a picture of him and Kylie on his phone with the two of them sitting in the couch. Gloria tries to explain why she did what she did and that makes Manny realize that his new girlfriend is a lot like Gloria. Feeling now that he is dating his mother, he finds it disgusting and wants to break up with her. The idea that Kylie is like her, makes Gloria temporarily change her mind about her since if that is true then she can be sure that Kylie will take care of him. Gloria eventually understands and accepts that Manny will grow up and find a woman of his own and that she should not be so overly protective of him.
