Given that I'm posting when I said I might not be tonight should answer the most obvious question:
Even though Alex was only there in flashback mode (two blink and you'll miss it moments from long-time ago episodes), my feeling is that technically qualifies this to not be an Alex-less episode.
That's all I have to say – I still have a ton on my mind right now (and some of the scenes tonight didn't help take my mind off them), and semantics are really the furthest from my mind.
Farewell, Alex Dunphy (Fennerman?). Thank you for being you.

Just a quick post today
I'm sorry, but I've got a lot of stuff on my mind today (it's been a pretty rough last 24 or so hours), and right now any thoughts about what happens to Alex have to go on the back burner for a while (that's also why there's no lyric in this post).
Not that there's a lot going on tonight for Alex in "Spuds", anyway. While there is at least a small (20%?) chance we actually see her tonight (unlike last week when there was zero chance), I still expect tonight to be the second of back-to-back episodes, and even if she is there (the best chance would be before the rest of the family goes to that restaurant) I don't expect much for her.
I'll post something later if she does show up, otherwise I'm going to be taking a break from posting for a while.
Also, I was trying to tweak the Disqus comment settings and I found out that setting comments to moderated is pretty much irreversible. I'm not sure what will happen if someone tries to post, but likely either a) you might have to verify your Disqus account and/or email (not through me, but the system, I think) or b) I'll have to approve any messages before they show up (I'll try to do that when I can - I'm probably not going to be on this site much the rest of this week). I'm sorry about that too.

"One Week Without You"
With Alex not appearing in tonight's episode ("Paris"), I really don't have a lot to say - not even enough for a typical pre-show post.
The best I can hope for is that they give us a plausible explanation as to why she didn't go on the trip (e.g. a major project at work which prevented her from taking time off).
And unless something happens that could change her life even if she isn't there, I'm not planning on doing a post tonight. That and I have to work tonight so I don't know when I'll get around to watching it anyway.

"And I'm Hungry Like The Wolf" (First Impressions - "Spuds" - Season 11, Episode 14)
I was beginning to think we weren't getting a new episode on February 19th, until this press release came out today.
But having seen it, I think I'm going to wish there wasn't one. It's an episode where it appears all the action will occur in just one setting (a restaurant), and Alex isn't mentioned in any of the three stories.
It looks like back-to-back Alex-less episodes may be in the cards (we already know next week's episode in Paris will be Alex-less) - maybe they should sub-title this "Three More Dinners"? And even with only four episodes left after this one, I wouldn't be shocked if this one still isn't the last one.
