'Modern Family' season 8 spoilers: Claire mistakes her influence on Alex's life choices in episode 6; Star Ariel Winter speaks on youth empowerment
Everyone is trying to prove something in the upcoming episode of ABC's top-rating comedy series "Modern Family" season 8.
Titled "Grab It," next week's episode will see Phil (Ty Burell) attempt to become closer to his father-in-law. According to the official synopsis for episode 6, Jay (Ed O'Neil) pays a visit to his favorite place in the world. However, the place he considers as his only refuge may be losing some of its charm when Phil begins to consider being a member.
At the Dunphy house, Claire (Julie Bowen) mistakenly assumes that she influences the major life choices Alex (Ariel Winter) makes, while Hayley (Sarah Hyland) appears to care too much about Alex's opinion on hers. Meanwhile at the Tucker-Pritchett residence, Cam (Eric Stonestreet) decides to organize a play. However, when Cam refuses to give Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) some details on what his play his really about, Mitchell will be placed in the spotlight.
On other related news, star Ariel Winter recently caught up with Elite Daily and she shared her thoughts on youth empowerment as well as her future plans. Even though her ability to influence others has come at a young age, the 18-year-old actress explained that her ability to encourage and empower young people like her didn't come without her own self-image struggles.
"Over the years, I've struggled with body confidence issues," she said. "It's really important nowadays to empower young women—and young men—to feel really good about themselves, not only their appearance, but to feel good enough to speak about issues that are important to them and to stand up for themselves when necessary." After graduating from high school, Winter also shared that she recently accepted an offer to study at UCLA to pursue a law degree.
Catch all-new episodes of "Modern Family" season 8 airing every Wednesday night at 9 p.m. ET on ABC.
