Last night, Modern Family opened “The Last Walt” with Phil and Claire Dunphy wondering how to break the news to their son Luke that his elderly friend Walt passed away. (Apparently Luke hasn’t watched last week’s episode, “Election Day”). If you’re ready to laugh about how the Dunphys break the news, join me after the jump.

Hey, look at me, reviewing a television show in a timely manner, rather than one from last week or last decade! Don’t expect it to happen again, but it was leap day yesterday. And the creators of Modern Family took advantage of the rare event to build a sitcom episode around it.
As Phil Dunphy explains it…
PHIL: You’re given this gift of twenty-four extra hours. You can’t waste it at work or school. You have to do something extraordinary, something shocking.
