Claire Leans In

Since Claire (Julie Bowen) spent the majority of this episode mulling a job offer from her father (Ed O'Neill), she didn't have much time to pretend to like Phil (Ty Burrell); in their one big scene together, she was pretty much just jabbering frantically about why she was hesitant to take it, and trying to cover the fact that her marrying Phil was the last of four big decisions in her life that disappointed Jay. But over the closing credits, she did manage to position her body pretty close to Phil's. I know the phrase "if you blinked, you missed it" is overused, but in this case it is literally true.
