Ok, I already warned you about a Modern Family Flashmob was on the making. And it was Mitchell dancing on the Flashmob.
A birthday dinner for Manny at a family restaurant turns into a race for Phil and Claire and a chance for Cameron to socialize at a shopping mall while looking for a gift.

Recap form Modern Family S02E08 – Manny Get Your Gun
Recap written by: Murphandthemagictones
It’s Manny’s (Rico Rodriguez) birthday, and he is giving a speech to everyone thanking them for being there. Of course, nobody looks like they want to be there. Jay (Ed O’Neill) had to wait for the tardy Gloria (Sofía Vergara), (although you’d be amazed how many of her foibles are forgiven when she runs around in a tight sweater) Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) is trying to buy a gift while Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) meanders, and Phil (Ty Burrell) has to fill out the application for Family Camp, as they MUST defend their Dirty Dancing title from the previous season. (Even though it’s just a TV show, I really wish he didn’t say that.) Claire (Julie Bowen) is still a little upset about “Color Wars” from last summer’s camp, but Phil just likes to rub it in, because “if you ain’t white, then you ain’t right.” He even made up t-shirts, which the black cab driver who drove them home totally loved. Claire wants to take her route to the restaurant, Phil counters with his, and they decide to race each other there.
Jay decided to give Manny the best gift his own father ever gave him: a BB gun. And as Gloria continues to search for her keys (and the male audience drools at her), Manny questions getting a toy meant for someone six years older than him. But Jay never really thought Manny ever acted like a kid, which he appreciated. But Manny didn’t appreciate that compliment. He wants to mix sodas to see what they taste like and make crank phone calls, but somehow his call to Seymour Butts manages to backfire on him. And that soda thing was actually kind of disgusting.
In Phil’s car, he’s cutting through temple parking lots, running red lights, blowing out tires, and Haley (Sarah Hyland) actually has to tell him to watch the road. Luke is getting the scarier ride, since Claire is suddenly up in arms about Luke (Nolan Gould) wanting to go with Phil to the restaurant instead of her. But Haley and Alex would rather deal with that then spend another summer at Family Camp for a hoedown and another round of “white domination” by Phil. Haley and Alex (Ariel Winter) get up the courage to tell Phil they didn’t want to go to Family Camp, as he assures them they can talk about anything in the “Cone of Trust.” (his car) They tell him, and Phil realizes the day has come where his kids have outgrown him. (“Dad, are you crying?”) He was, and then the girls start crying. And when Luke reassures Claire that she is actually fun and he wanted to go with Dad because he thought he needed it more, Claire makes a visit to the waterworks. Claire is upset that she can’t be the fun parent, but Luke thinks her way would have been the fastest to the restaurant. Claire decides to be the fun parent and floor it.
Mitchell is going crazy trying to find a gift, and Cam’s making him crazier by spending eight minutes talking to the stationery store clerk and helping an old man communicate with his about-to-be-ex wife…loudly. And now Mitchell has to keep the old man alive while Cam runs to find his wife. They try to have the couple communicate via cell phone. One destroyed cell phone later, (Mitchell’s phone, natch) Cameron is dragging the poor lady up the escalator. And back down again. And it wasn’t even his wife. (Saw that coming a mile away, didn’t you?)
Gloria is livid she can’t find her keys. Probably because they were in Jay’s coat pocket. He slips them into her purse and suggests she look through her purse again. She finds them and instantly accuses Jay of putting them there. But Jay has to deal with Manny floating on an inflatable beach raft in the pool, lamenting he was never a kid and never would be. He wants to cancel his birthday dinner, and Gloria explodes. She shoots the raft with the BB gun and threatens Jay with it to get both of them out of the house. And Jay falls for the old “I won’t get mad if you tell me” trick when Gloria asks him if he put her keys in her purse.
Mitchell is beyond furious for Cameron wasting their time trying to help “the most adult adulterers they’ve ever seen.” Suddenly, a flash mob broke out in the mall square dancing to “Free Your Mind” by En Vogue. Cameron wants to watch the choreographed dance, but Mitch decides he’d rather participate. Cam is shocked, but apparently Mitch set this up with a co-worker at his firm (who wasn’t gay, as he found out) as a “love letter” to Cameron. (Awwww….) But it turns out Cameron didn’t like Mitchell acting like a jerk all day and rushing around just to get to the flash mob.
CAMERON: You cheated on me with choreography, and that is the worst kind. YOU DANCED WITHOUT ME!
Everybody’s distracted and almost cause a crash at the restaurant.
MANNY: When I saw all of you acting like children, I realized I had plenty of time to be a kid.
