"The Day We Almost Died" is the eleventh episode of the sixth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 131st episode overall. It originally aired on January 7, 2015. The episode was written by Danny Zuker and directed by James Bagdonas.
The whole Dunphy family, along with Manny (Rico Rodriguez), re-evaluate their lives when they have a near-death experience while going for breakfast and almost get hit by a truck.
Claire (Julie Bowen), who was arguing with Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) moments before the incident, decides that she has to stop being so controlling all the time and visits him at his work to apologize and take a walk with him. They go for roller skating and Claire forces Mitch to go through a dark tunnel to surpass his fear about it. Before they enter the tunnel they separated and Mitch gets mugged. He comes out of the tunnel and demands from Claire her roller skates so he can go back to work for an important meeting.
Alex (Ariel Winter) realizes how much Haley (Sarah Hyland) loves her, since the moment of the "accident" Haley hugged her and said "I thought I almost lost you". The two of them spend the day together and Haley takes Alex for mustache waxing and to buy new clothes. Back at home, Alex discovers that Haley was actually talking to her phone when she said "I thought I almost lost you" and Alex gets mad at her.
Luke (Nolan Gould) decides to go through his bucket list after realizing how many things he is missing. He even missed his near-death experience because he was listening to music and not paying attention at the moment.
Phil (Ty Burrell) wants to stop being scared and takes action by first confronting Gil Thorpe (Rob Riggle) for stealing his clients. Cameron (Eric Stonestreet), who is with Phil at the moment, finds Phil's new behavior sexy and has no idea how to handle it, especially when Phil also confronts the salesman at the store for bringing Cameron the wrong color of washing machine. Phil manages to convince the salesman take back the wrong one and replace it with a new one in the right color. The new "feelings" of Cameron towards Phil disappear the moment Phil decides to take an alpaca home and it has to sit with Cameron in the back seat of the car.
