"Arrested" is the seventh episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 79th episode overall. It aired November 7, 2012. The episode was written by Becky Mann & Audra Sielaff and directed by Gail Mancuso.
Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) get a phone call in the middle of the night from the police because Haley (Sarah Hyland) has been arrested for underage drinking. Claire calls Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) to ask him to accompany them to bail her out in case she needs a lawyer. At the police station, they find out that Haley not only was drinking, but also resisted arrest and assaulted a police officer. After being bailed out, Haley must attend a disciplinary hearing at school. Haley attempts to make excuses for her behavior but Phil, in a rare display of parental authority, tells her that she needs to start taking responsibility. Haley takes these words to heart, but goes too far and instead of defending herself at the hearing instead blurts out everything illegal she has done since the day she started college and ends up getting expelled. She goes back home with Phil and Claire who are disappointed but proud that she is taking responsibility for her actions.
Meanwhile, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) has stayed back to look after Alex (Ariel Winter) and Luke (Nolan Gould). He serves them soy bacon for breakfast without knowing that Luke is allergic to soy, so they rush to the emergency room. While there, Alex enjoys proving herself to be smarter than the training doctors, although later she passes out while watching a C-section.
Gloria (Sofia Vergara) wants to go baby shopping but Jay (Ed O'Neill) gets out of it — only to get a surprise visitor: DeDe (Shelley Long). He tries to get rid of her quickly so she will not find out that Gloria is pregnant, but he does not quite manage to do it before Gloria returns.
