Claire Dunphy lands an important magazine interview with a prominent women’s business magazine. To avoid any distractions or embarrassment, she tricks her family into leaving the house before the interview. However, all her children return in the middle of her interview, resulting in her spinning some more lies to get them out of her way. When the children finally figure out that their mother didn’t want them home, they confront Claire, who comes clean and demands of her children to let her have the interview in peace. The interview goes smoothly, and Claire finds herself on the cover of the magazine. She feels that all her efforts were worth it.
