"Flip Flop" is the 20th episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 92nd episode overall. It was aired on April 10, 2013. The episode was written by Jeffrey Richman and Bill Wrubel and it was directed by Gail Mancuso.
The house that Claire (Julie Bowen) and Cam (Eric Stonestreet) were preparing for a flip is ready and they are also ready to start searching for a buyer. After turning down an offer from Gil (Rob Riggle), another real estator, they struggle to find a buyer. Luke (Nolan Gould) tells them that he has a friend, Zack Barbie (Anders Holm), who is looking for a house and Haley (Sarah Hyland) uses her social network skills to research about him and learn what he likes. After learning what they wanted, they all make the house perfect for him.
They arrange a date with Zack but during the house inspection, Cam mentions Zack's dog's name, something that makes Zack wonder how Cam knew something like that. When a little bit later Haley mentions his birthday too, he freaks out and leaves. Gil comes to gloat, but Phil (Ty Burrell) pretends that Cam and Mitchell are potential clients who are interested in the house. After seeing that, Gil is willing to renegotiate the price for his buyer and offers them a higher price.
Meanwhile, Gloria's (Sofía Vergara) ex-husband, Javier (Benjamin Bratt), introduces Gloria, Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) to his new fiancée, Trish (Paget Brewster). Gloria is worried about being replaced by Trish when she sees how close Manny and Trish get due to their many common interests. When Javier proposes to Trish, Trish runs upstairs and locks herself in Manny's room. Gloria tries to talk to her and convince her to come out. During their discussion, Gloria finds out that the reason Trish does not want to marry Javier is because she feels like she can not live up to Gloria as a mother and as a wife. Hearing that, Gloria abandons her plan to scare her away and welcomes her to the family.
