Phil (Ty Burrell) notices, while watching the video tape of Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Cameron's (Eric Stonestreet) wedding, that he was sick and he was not careful enough leading to spread the virus to the whole family. As everybody is healed, it is now Claire's (Julie Bowen) turn to be ill. Not wanting to be discovered as "patient zero", Phil asks Luke (Nolan Gould) to help him edit the video and Luke agrees to do it. They plan to add new sequences in order to minimize the incident, but the result is not what they hoped for. Luke decides that honesty is the best option and urges Phil to confess during the dinner when the whole family will watch the video.
Jay (Ed O' Neill) asks Claire to meet a client for lunch, which she agrees despite her being sick and suffering. Until she gets to meet the client, she regrets her decision when she begins to suffer from vertigo. She manages to meet the client but she passes out when he asks her for a lunch, which will take place in the revolving rooftop of the hotel.
Meanwhile, Haley (Sarah Hyland) does not want to admit to Alex (Ariel Winter) her true feelings about Andy (Adam DeVine), feelings that she even does not want to admit to herself. After a conversation she has with Alex, she decides to talk to Andy who tells her that he is glad they did not kiss the day of her uncle's wedding, because that would crush her. Haley, being sure that the one that would be crushed would be him, she kisses him. The kiss seems to not affect Andy at all, something that it is not the same for Haley.
Cameron has an important football game at school and has to decide if he has to bench Manny (Rico Rodriguez) or not. Manny tries to make his best but fails. Cameron decides to bench him despite knowing that Gloria (Sofía Vergara) will not be happy with his decision, even if the team ends up winning the game. Later on, Gloria benches Cam as well during the family dinner not allowing him to eat. Manny confesses that his stress comes from his mother who always idealizes him and that he did not want to disappoint her.
