Allow me to introduce you the characters of the hit sitcom Modern Family.
The episode deals with members of the Dunphy family.
This is a parody of a future, never released season. The part that didn't air on TV.
Phil Dunphy bet it all on a realty business that went belly-up during the pandemic. Now he owes it all and then some to his nemesis, realtor mogul, Gil Thorpe.
Where Phil lost everything and spiraled into depression. Gil "The Thorpedo" Thorpe made millions and now is a VIP Realtor to the rich and famous.
Claire Dunphy returns home from her afternoon 5K jog. At age 42 and despite three kids, Claire has the bod of a sexy athlete. As an avid runner, Claire finds running relaxing where she gets some "me time." But not today.
Inside her head Claire is a mess.
"I can't fucking believe Phil. He's lost it all! Our savings, the house mortgage, even the kids 529 investments. Not that Hailee needs it being a college drop-out. And Alex is taking a break from pressures of her first year at MIT to "find herself". And Luke! In Europe, back-packing in Ukraine! What the hell has this family come to?!"
Sweat rolled down the back of Claire's neck. Her short cut, dirty-blonde hair was wet and sticking to her skin by the temples and ears.
Claire walked into the Dunphy home. She didn't even bother to check if anyone was around. She was in no mood for any family. She kicked off her running shoes in the foyer, not bothering to look where they landed. She was up the stairs and pulling off her sweat laden tank-top, running bra, and shorts. They landed in the hamper as she turned the shower on.
In the shower, her mind tumbled over the huge fight last night with her husband, Phil.
The cuckold moron made an insane deal with Gil Thorpe. Claire and their daughters have to work for Gil's realty firm doing PR at parties. Basically party it up with millionaire VIPS to help Thorpe make sales. A side bonus for Gil is for Claire to sleep with him. Ridiculous! But it would serve Phil right. Claire should sleep with Gil as a token of gratitude for Gil not throwing them out of their house! Seeing as how Gil owned the mortgage on it now. Not to mention, Phil's realty business as well. Maybe for all of Gil's machismo and arrogant bullshit, he had some balls. Unlike her own husband.
Without telling Phil, Claire even went to her Dad, Jay, in hopes of a bail out. But that gold-digging slut, Gloria talked Jay out of it.
Forget about her brother, Mitchell. He's living pay check to pay check. Taxes and cost of living are so absurd in California. Mitchell and Cam are barely saving for their kids college, let alone their retirement.
By the time Claire finished her shower, she had decide.
She was going to sleep with Gil Thorpe. Not because her loser of a husband, Phil, begged her to. But because she decided to. Claire wanted to get come control back in this hopeless situation. "Screw it. Whatever it takes."
Claire walked out of the bathroom. Her skin still damp in areas and her hair not blow dried. Her jaw hit the floor when she saw a man standing in the middle of her bedroom.
"Hey what's up Claire?!", said Gil Thorpe with a sheepish grin.
"Wah...wha, what are you doing here?, stuttered Claire. Her skull barely keeping her eyes in their sockets.
Gil glanced around the room and took a few steps towards the window. "I'm here to begin to collect some of what's coming to me."
Claire's spine went cold, and her toes began to feel numb. After her fight with Phil last night, she did decide to sleep with Gil. But she only told Phil of her decision this morning. How the fuck did this asshole get the jump on things so quick?
Gil slowly crossed the room towards Claire. Suddenly she was aware that she only had a towel wrapped around her. It barely covered her crotch and she hadn't gotten her underwear yet.
"Hey Gil. Gimme some time to get all gussied up for you. I'll come over to your house tonight. You'll get a nice surprise with some lingerie I'll pick out."
Claire could barely keep her voice from cracking as a panic attack was building in the pit of her stomach.
"Maybe some wine. Then I'll give you a lap dance. Ok, so a lot of wine." Claire joked nervously.
"Claire, Claire, Claire. MILF of the year, Claire!
Gil was standing only a foot or tow in front of her. He gently reached his index finger out and pressed it over her lips.
"Hush, darlin'. I'm gonna take good care of you and the girls. You'll finally feel what it's like having a real man inside you. I mean with you. Actually, I mean both." Now his grin was more wolfish.
Claire was looking up at him. Realizing he was more than a head taller than her. Gil was broad shouldered and much thicker set than Phil.
Claire was feeling a bit lightheaded. This was all happening too fast. Claire Dunphy always took control. She always set the tone in any situation with Phil. For the first time she felt lost. She wasn't in control.
"Wai..wait, what do you mean take care of me AND the girls.?"
