Phil (Ty Burrell) finds a new target group for new clients; newly divorced women. He does everything to help them get over their divorce by being a very good friend to them and be there anytime they ask him, in hope that they will also buy a new house from him. Claire (Julie Bowen) is not really happy with all this since now that she has to work too she does not have time to do the stuff she was doing before at home (like going to the grocery store) and she needs Phil's help. She tells him that what he is doing is not the best idea and she proves it at the end when Phil is caught up in the middle of three of his clients.
Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), after accepting each other's proposal, are now up to plan their wedding. After two friends of theirs had broken up because they could not agree on things in matter of their wedding, Mitchell and Cameron decide to leave Cameron in charge so they will not end up fighting.
Lily's (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) cat, Larry, has been missing for few days and Lily starts asking where he is. Mitchell and Cameron do not want to upset her, so they tell her that Larry will get back home, despite the fact that they are convinced that Larry is dead. Mitchell disagrees with Cameron about lying to Lily and that they have to tell her the truth. Later, when Cameron tries to tell Lily that Larry is not coming back, he tells her that the reason is because he got married and left with his wife. While saying that, Larry is back home and he changes his story by telling Lily that Larry's wife died. Cameron plans a funeral for Larry's wife but it ends up being a disaster making Cameron having second thoughts about planning the wedding alone.
Mitchell tries to convince himself that he is not nervous about leaving Cameron in charge for the wedding. He leaves to go the gym but he stops by his office first. At the office, he starts cleaning everything, due to his stress about the wedding, and he ends up trapped in the ventilation system. A co-worker happens to be at the building and he helps him get out. After this, Mitchell realizes that he wants to get involved in the wedding. He gets back home and both, Cameron and Mitchell, agree to plan the wedding together.
