"Lifetime Supply" is the 11th episode of the third season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 59th episode overall. It was aired on January 4, 2012. The episode was written by Jeffrey Richman & Bill Wrubel and directed by Chris Koch.

Phil (Ty Burrell) goes to the doctor (Don Lake) for a check up. The doctor runs some tests telling him that he will call him if something is wrong. On Saturday he receives a call from the doctor but he misses it because he is in the shower. He calls back at his office but he can not reach the doctor since he is flying to London and he assumes the worst starting thinking that he dies.

Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) wins an environmental law award, an achievement that creates a competition between Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and himself. Cam, after Mitch's win, pulls out the award he won at fishing back in his hometown and he displays it right next to Mitch's. Mitch thinks that Cam did that because he was jealous when Cam says he was hiding it along with all his other awards so Mitch won't feel bad for not having any award.

Alex (Ariel Winter) tells Mitch that she knows exactly how he feels because her mom does the same when she wins something by displaying Luke's (Nolan Gould) "awards" next to hers. The discussion with Alex makes Mitch realize that he is acting like a 14-year-old girl and he decides to make a display for Cam with all his awards. He goes to the garage and he is surprised of how many awards Cam won as a teenager but he was keeping them hidden to not hurt his feelings. The moment he tries to carry the box with the awards in the house, he sees a mouse and drops it starting kicking the box. Cam sees that and he believes that Mitch acts that way because of his many awards.

Gloria (Sofía Vergara) says Jay (Ed O'Neill) that she saw a black mouse in her dream the previous night and she is worried because in her country, a black mouse in a dream is a bad sign.
