Despite their initial plan to break-up before going to college because they did not want to have a messy break-up after a long-distance relationship that was destined to end badly. However, in the last minute, they decided that considering both of them were geniuses and have what it takes to beat the odds, they would keep dating in college.
Unfortunately, Alex came to regret the decision after Sanjay broke up with her after falling for someone else in his college. She has been having a really hard time connecting with her peers at Caltech, and at least half of her troubles may have to do with the end of her first real relationship.
Alex also did not get closure from Sanjay because they were still in a long-distance relationship. "Clean for a Day" may finally give her a chance to mourn the death of the relationship and move on.
Watch "Modern Family" Season 7 Episode 12 at 9 pm (EST) on Wednesday, Feb. 10. You can also live stream "Clean for a Day" via ABC Live.
