Three weeks ago, the Dunphy's neighbours the Rands lost their house and everything they owned in a fire. So Claire mobilized the community to donate clothes, furniture, appliances, all to help them start over in their new rental.

Sophie, Alex and Haley were going downstairs wiyh some box for the donations

"You couldn't part with that T-shirt?" Haley asked Alex

"I love this shirt" Alex said

"Of course you do" Sophie said earning a roll of eyes from Alex

"You know, you don't have to look the way you look. Amber Rand lost all her clothes in a fire, but she gets to build herself a new wardrobe" Haley said

"Let me burn your clothes" Sophie joked looking at Alex

"Girls, get down here. There's a lot of work to do" Claire called

"Ugh. She's in a mood" Sophie pointed out

"You know what we have to do, right?" Haley asked them

"There's no way you're my real sister!"

"God, you're so stupid!"

"I hate you! I can't believe you would ever--"

 "You're the most selfish--"

"I can' wait to move out, so i won't have to see your face every day!" They started fake fighting

"Okay, That's it! I cannot take the fighting! Just get out of the house!" Claire yelled

Interview

"Works every time" Haley said looking at the camera

"Every single time" Sophie said smirking

End Interview

"You know, I don't even wanna drive the truck anymore even though on the farm I was--" Cam started talking

"I can't take another farm story" Claire said

"Yay! You might wanna take someone with you. The thing's been parked there six months. You're gonna want to hose it down, sweep for spiders"

"Good news, girls. You're going with Uncle Cam" Claire told to her daughters

"Yay" Sophie said sarcastically, she was planning to go to the movies

Later, in the truck

"Riding the open road in a big rig like this sure can work up a man's powerful appetite" Cam said

"We've gone five blocks" Sophie told him

"Do you want a burger or not?" He asked her

"Is that even a question?" Sophie told him

"Hey, Alex, maybe Uncle Cam will let you borrow his hat later. You know, since you dress like a dude" Haley said as Sophie just chuckled

"I like the way I dress" Alex said

"Uncle Cam, as her future prom date, will you please talk to her? You know fashion" Haley said looking at Cam

"First of all, you're each beautiful in your own way, but all three of you are playing for second, because I'm too sexy for... this truck" Cam said

"I have to say, you do drive it surprisingly well" Alex said

"Oh, God" Sophie sighed knowing that Came would've taken it too personal

"Yeah, who would have thought?" Haley said

"Surprising? What, that--that a gay man can drive a truck? You know, I expect that kind of thinking from Jay's generation. But from our future generation? No" Cam said

"Wow. This place got crowded"

"Whoa. You're really wedged in there. You want us to help guide you out?" Two men asked

"That question-- it was like a hate crime" Cam said

"Sorry!" 

"Hey, you're really close on this side" Sophie told him looking out the window

"Yeah, I see it" 

"Careful!" Alex yelled

"I'm being careful. Gasping? Really? Holding hands? We're not in a nosedive. Okay, you know what, if it would make you feel better, get out and guide me" Cam said clearly annoyed

"Okay, come on. Let's go"

"Please don't yell at me, but there's not enough room" Sophie said

"Okay, climb over. You're fine"

Later

"Okay, so... me and Sophie flirted with a table of truckers who have offered to help us" Haley said as they got back to the truck

"No! No help! I've come too far!" Cam said

"Have you?"

"Oh, hey! They don't sell pizzas at this restaurant! You parked here illegally! Congratulations, sir. You're destroying America"

"Hey, there are no cars behind us. Go!" Sophie yelled

"gun it!"

"Oh! Ow! All right! All right! Everybody relax! We're fine! We're fine!" Cam told them

"We are not fine!" Sophie said

"And we're all smooshed!" Haley said

"And we're scared!" Sophie spoke again

"And we're tilted at a 30-degree angle!" Alex said

"Nerd!" Haley said 

"And we're dirty and tired and late!" Haley spoke again

"Okay! Can you please just be quiet!" Cam shouted

"Why couldn't we have just asked for help?" Sophie asked

"'Cause I'm teaching you girls a very valuable lesson-- that gay men can do anything straight men can do"

"Yeah, we know that" Haley said

"Do you think you're the only gay guy that we know?" Sophie asked him

"My math teacher is gay" She spoke again

"Yeah. My soccer coach is gay... our pediatrician..." Haley said

"My Latin tutor" Alex said

"Nerd! Our electrician" Haley said

"Well, then why were you so surprised when I said I could drive a truck?" Cam asked

"Not because you're gay, because you're you" Alex said

"And by the way, you clearly can't!" Sophie told him

"Okay, wow. I guess I owe you an apology. I made a leap there. I'm just used to dealing with stereotypes. I'm a little sensitive about it" Cam apologized

"Oh! There's the trucker that we talked to" Haley pointed out

"Hey! Excuse me! Hi!" Sophie called

"Could you give us a hand, please?" Haley asked

"Sure thing, sweeties" the trucker said

"Oh, like she'll be able to help us"

Later, they saw some guys annoying Luke and Manny

"Is there an issue here?" Cam said as they all got out of the truck

"Uncle Cam, I got this" Alex said

"Oh, my God, it's Alex Dunphy" One of the guys said

"So awesome"

"Problem here, boys?" Alex asked taking off her ponytail 

"These geeks won't give us back our helicopter that we took from Reuben" Luke said

"Is that right, Abraham?" Alex asked

"Oh, my God. She knows your name" One of the guys said

"Helicopter, please" Alex said and the guy handed her the helicopter

"I love you" The guy said and then walk away with his group

"Wow" Sophie said

"What just happened?" Haley asked

"You both have your fans, I have mine. Some day, your fans are going to work for my fans" Alex said and then walked away, leaving Haley shocked

"Well that was unexpected" Sophie said and then walking away as Haley was still standing there shocked and trying to realize what just happened and how
