"Do Not Push" is the second episode of the sixth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 122nd episode overall. It originally aired on October 1, 2014. The episode was written by Megan Ganz and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) want to take a new family portrait, since the previous photo did not include Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons). While taking shots of the picture, they notice that Lily's smile is rather forced than natural, making her look unflattering. This causes a dilemma on whether they should tell Lily that she does not look good or keep it the way it is. Cam decides that it is for the best if they talk to her about it, but Lily gets upset. At the end, both Cam and Mitch apologize and they use the first photo with Lily's "big smile" to print, making Lily happy, but they quickly dislike the way she laughs.
Meanwhile, the Dunphys are visiting Caltech on a tour of the campus. Claire (Julie Bowen) keeps pushing Alex (Ariel Winter) to go there instead of MIT, since it is less than hour away from their home, making it easier for the family to see her. Alex, however, wants to get as far away from her family as she could. That is until she meets a cute, friendly, smart boy named Jason (Caleb Hoffman) who makes her change her mind.
In the meantime, Phil (Ty Burrell), Luke (Nolan Gould) and Haley (Sarah Hyland) sign up to be part of an experiment being conducted at the university. They are left in a waiting room where they notice a red button with a label that says "Do Not Push". Phil says that the experiment has already begun thinking that scientists are surveying them from the other side of a one-way mirror to see if they will push the button or not. In the end after some heated dissension, all three of them decide to push the button together. Soon after, they learn that the button was not the experiment and that the label was there to truly keep anyone from activating the broken air conditioning system.
