"Phil summons his alter ego, Clive Bixby, for Valentine's Day when he worries that the romantic fire in his marriage has gone out.

Meanwhile, the ABC comedy's newest episode will also cast the spotlight on Phil and Claire's second daughter, Alex (Ariel Winter), as she discovers that she has a secret admirer. However, it is expected that the discovery will not lead into a blossoming relationship as it will be revealed that the boy has a link with the Dunphys.

Spoiler reports also claim that Jay (Ed O'Neill) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara) will face some issues on the upcoming episode as it will dawn on the latter that her husband is playing favorites between their two sons, Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Joe (Jeremy Maguire).

"Do You Believe in Magic?" will also feature Cam (Eric Stonestreet) and Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) going on a luxurious boat trip. However, the supposed extravagant adventure will be spoiled by the couple's desire to teach their daughter Lily (Aubrey Anderson-Emmons) to stand up against boys but will get an unexpected result.
