On Wednesday, the show aired its final Valentine’s Day episode, which was shot on the streets of Paris.
“Modern Family, our Valentine’s Day episodes, they get pretty crazy so, what better setting,” Rico Rodriguez said in a behind-the-scenes clip shared exclusively by PEOPLE on Wednesday. “The whole family is here in Paris because Jay (Ed O’Neill) is getting an award at this big closet convention, or so he thinks.”
“Lifetime achievement, and there’s a little bit of a mixup,” O’Neill explained.
