In the Modern Family season 8 premiere episode ‘A Tale of Three Cities’, the Pritchetts gather for Father’s Day after the three families return from separate travels. Claire, Phil and the kids go to New York; Jay, Gloria and Joe go to Mexico; and Mitch, Cam and Lily visit Cam’s family in the Midwest. Last time we saw Cam’s mother Barb Tucker was at Mitchell and Cam’s wedding in 2014.
