Animals swarm the Pritchett households in the next episode of "Modern Family" season 7.

In episode 4 titled "She Crazy," Phil (Ty Burrell) will be fixated on hatching duck eggs, and has even built an entire housing for his new pets. But no one aside from Claire (Julie Bowen) is willing to support Phil in his newest endeavor.

But based on the trailer, Phil is not the only one who will handle a member of the animal species in this episode. In the video, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) is seen carrying a marked goat which appeared to be owned by the frat members who are renting their space upstairs.

Meanwhile, Broadway World released the official synopsis for "Modern Family" season 7 episode 5, which reads:

"Claire is excited to give Haley (Sarah Hyland) and Alex (Ariel Winter) a great experience for 'Bring Your Daughter to Work Day' but the staff is not making it easy, and Phil takes Luke (Nolan Gould) and Manny's (Rico Rodriguez) class out for community service day, which becomes a teachable moment in more ways than one. Elsewhere, Gloria (Sophia Vergara) is thrilled to be on jury duty leaving Jay (Ed O'Neill) to help out at Joe's (Jeremy Maguire) pre-school and he is not happy about it at all. Cam and Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) disagree over which of their friends to invite to their party, so could Gloria help mediate?"

The episode seems to feature a parent-child bonding day for the characters of "Modern Family" season 7. It could be Claire's way to help her daughter Alex recover from the heartache caused by her ex-boyfriend Sanjay, who recently broke up with her and started dating another girl. But based on the synopsis, it seems like things will not work out exactly according to Claire's plans.

"Modern Family" season 7 airs every Wednesdays on ABC.
