== Episode description==
Gloria obliges Phil, Cam and Mitch to be Jay's buddies in a forest trip since he can't be alone. During the trip, all the men confront their fears, including Mitch who believed that he would live until 46. Phil, believes that he could be absent if bad things might happen to his family. Also, Cam must face his flamboyant side, because he only found that way to express himself and not letting other people intimidate him.
As for Jay, his only fear is to become an old chap literally for his family. The four men search for an eagle bald, and in a very poignant scene, Jay tells Mitch that he does not have to tell him that he loves him.
Claire attempts to build two joining cribs for Haley's twins, but fails realizing her weakness is visualization of space and scale. Haley finds that the symptoms of her pregnancy are including her eating junk food a lot and becoming unrecognizable to her face scan at her work. Later, Haley and the girls of the family help Carl, a pizza delivery man, deliver 10 pizzas on time when the badly put together crib crashes into his leg, injuring him.
