Phil loves Claire 's gift, and Claire manages for the first time to give him a gift which is actually good.

Gloria, to get rid of Jay, signs him up to be a fair cop. Gloria, realizing later that Jay was right about Manny not fitting to the competition, decides to destroy Manny 's cake so he will not be able to participate.

Alex agrees to help him but Sienna is also the girl who Alex wants to make her best friend. When Claire tells her that Sienna is the girl Luke has crush on, Alex tries to keep him away from her. Their fight in front of Sienna just scares her away.

Reception Ratings In its original American broadcast, `` A Fair to Remember '' was watched by 10.75 million ; up 0.43 from the previous episode. Reviews `` A Fair to Remember '' received mixed reviews. Leigh Raines of TV Fanatic rated the episode with 5 / 5 stating that she `` always loves an episode that brings the whole family together ''. Madina Papadopoulos of Paste Magazine rated the episode with 8 / 10 saying that the episode `` had a very classic theatrical structure '' and the writing `` was brilliantly executed ''. Britt Hayes from Screen Crush said that the episode was `` all over the place and definitely could have benefited from trimming some of the plots down. This show falters when they try to cram too many stories into one episode, and always seems to shine when they have either a couple of solid A-plots and a B - plot, or a few plots that unify into one plot later on. '' Phil Dyess - Nugent from The A.V. Club gave a C+ rate to the episode.
