Cam and Mitchell disagree over whether or not to give Lily the chance at being a child actor. Mitchell puts his foot down on the whole idea and heads to work but Cam is tired of his opinion not counting. He takes Lily to the audition anyway for a local mattress commercial not knowing what the commercial will be. When Mitchell finds out what Cam has done, he goes down to the warehouse to talk him out of it. The commercial starts and it's a mildly racist, Japanese influenced, Look Who's Talking mess. Just when you think it can't get worse, the voice overs put on really stereotypical accents for the babies and a Godzilla comes out. Cam agrees with Mitchell that it isn't the right thing for their daughter and goes to take her home. Only he picks up the asian boy baby next to her.
