"Arrested" is the 7th episode of the fourth season of the American sitcom Modern Family, and the series' 79th episode overall. It aired November 7, 2012. The episode was written by Becky Mann & Audra Sielaff and directed by Gail Mancuso.

Phil (Ty Burrell) and Claire (Julie Bowen) get a phone call in the middle of the night from the police because Haley (Sarah Hyland) has been arrested for under-aged drinking. They have to go and bail her out and Claire calls Mitchell (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) to ask him to go with them in case Haley needs a lawyer. When they arrive at the police station, they find out that Haley was not only drinking, but she also resisted arrest and assaulted a police officer. After being bailed out, Haley must attend a disciplinary hearing at school. Instead of defending herself Haley, in a moment of complete honestly, blurts out everything illegal she has done since the day she came to the college. After being dismissed her from college, she goes back home with Phil and Claire who are disappointed but proud that Haley is taking responsibility for her actions.

While Phil, Claire and Mitchell are in Haley's college, Cameron (Eric Stonestreet) stays back to watch over Alex (Ariel Winter) and Luke (Nolan Gould). During the breakfast, Cam made some 'bacon' from soy, without knowing that Luke is allergic to soy. That leads them to the emergency room at the hospital.

Gloria (Sofia Vergara) wants to go shopping to buy things for the baby but Jay (Ed O'Neill) gets out of it. Staying at home though is not the best idea since DeDe (Shelley Long) pays him a surprise visit. Jay tries to get rid of her as soon as possible so DeDe won't find out that Gloria is pregnant. When Gloria comes back home, DeDe's reaction to the news has nothing in common with the one Jay was expecting.
