Plot[edit]
Claire (Julie Bowen) has a history of giving bad gifts while Phil (Ty Burrell) has a history of giving her great gifts she really appreciates. So, in an attempt to make up for it, she decides to give Phil a surprising anniversary present, which is a private performance by Izzy LaFontaine (Edward Norton), the fictional bass player of Spandau Ballet. However, this unexpected gift turns out to be a mistake, as Phil was neither a fan of Spandau Ballet nor their song "True", which Claire believed to be Claire & Phil's special song. According to Phil, the couple's "song" was "If You Leave" by Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark.
