Cat Out of the Bag Alert! This review contains spoilers for this episode!

Synopsis: Claire (Julie Bowen) and Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) want to flip a house but their spouses Phil (Ty Burrell) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) don’t agree, only neither of them want to end up looking like the bad guy by saying no.

Kitty Cameo: Originally Phil plays the good guy and makes it look like Mitchell is the one holding up the project. But Mitchell finally fights back and agrees, leaving Phil to be the one to say no. When Phil calls Mitchell to complain, Mitchell answers the phone with white cat Larry on his lap, petting him in the fashion of Blofeld, the evil villain from the James Bond films.
