Has Gloria finally met her match? On the April 10 episode of ABC's "Modern Family", Benjamin Bratt returns as Gloria's ex-husband, Javier, and brings along his new girlfriend, played by "Criminal Minds" Paget Brewster.

Brewster plays Trish, who is pretty much Gloria's opposite: book smart and sophisticated.



"Different from Javier's usual assortment of bimbos and airheads, Trish is highly intelligent and confident," says executive producer Jeffrey Richman, who cowrote the episode.

"This brings up new and unexpected feelings for Gloria, which come out in a fiercely competitive game of Charades."
