Modern Family Halloween Episodes Ranked Today

As the final Halloween episode, this one leans heavily into nostalgia. The main plot involves Phil trying to scare the ever-stoic Jay—a rite of passage he has failed at for a decade. While the payoff is heartwarming and features a cameo from guest star Misty Copeland, the episode is more sweet than scary. We also see the evolution of the characters: Luke and Manny are adults, and the chaotic family dynamic has mellowed. It’s a satisfying conclusion to the Halloween canon, but it plays it safe.
