Phil and Jay get an offer to sell a land investment for a 20 percent profit but turn it down. Cam is petrified to have an MRI so Mitchell tries to ease his fear. Gloria arranges a birthday surprise at Claire's work at an inconvenient time.

When Claire lands a big opportunity for Pritchett's Closets, Jay expects a little validation for his contribution and takes over her celebration when he doesn't get one. Pam's charming but grifting ex-boyfriend Bo (James Van Der Beek) shows up to win his family back and Mitchell sees this as the perfect opportunity to get Pam out of the house. Meanwhile, Luke and Alex stumble upon a successful online business (online store for feet fetishists) that finally gets them on their feet. Finally, Phil has to make a sale to pay the bills but his new age client comes to believe that the house he's about to sell is haunted. Phil brings in Gloria to prove her wrong, but his plan backfires.

Cam must contend with a bully at the school; Jay has technical trouble during a video conference; the local mall holds a photo shoot for its new ad campaign, and Gloria tricks Phil and Joe into participating.
