Gloria tries to surprise Jay with news on his birthday that she is pregnant, while Phil surprises Jay with a fishing trip. Meanwhile, Mitchell and Cameron debate getting Lily a cat after she loses out on getting a baby brother.

It's Jay's ( ) 65th birthday, and all he wants is a quiet day with no surprises. And no...

It's Jay's (Ed O'Neill) 65th birthday, and all he wants is a quiet day with no surprises. And no, Gloria (Sofía Vergara) hasn't told him yet she is pregnant. Manny (Rico Rodriguez) won't stop with all of the 'old man' jokes he learned YouTubing Dean Martin Celebrity Roasts, and Phil (Ty Burrell) has a plan to take Jay fishing...which may or may not involve kidnapping him against his will. (PHIL: Jay has been very explicit about what he wants to do for his 65th birthday, but Phil Dunphy reads between the lines.) Although they did dispense with Shorty's (Chazz Palminteri) idea of locking him in the trunk.

In the meantime, Cameron (congrats on the Emmy, Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) had to talk about the elephant in the room. The stuffed one Pepper got them because they were supposed to have a second child now. (MITCHELL: The gay community really hasn't figured out how to modulate baby gifts.) They also had to deal with the 800-pound gorilla...stuffed too, yes...and convince themselves that not getting that second child will work out better in the long run. Of course, now they had to tell Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons). But Lily will settle for getting a kitten. And when the charity store wouldn't even take the elephant and the gorilla, Cam was starting to see the point of getting one.

MITCHELL: So, what you're saying is you have a child-shaped hole in your heart and your plan is to cram a cat into there?

Gloria did manage to tell Manny about being pregnant, who did not take it well. He didn't think Gloria could take care of a baby.

GLORIA: (offended) I took care of you!

MANNY: Please, I was an anomaly. I self-potty trained.

Both agreed Jay won't take it well because he is slow to accept change. ("He still checks the front step for the evening paper.")
