1 "Connection Lost" (9.5)
It's no wonder why this episode was rated the highest; the entire episode is brilliantly done as it takes place behind screens, as the characters communicate via computer, iPad and phone. Claire is waiting for her flight home, and tries to contact Haley. She ends up speaking with various members of the family, and through different bits of information from them, she jumps to conclusions and believes Haley has eloped to Las Vegas with Andy and that she is pregnant. Funnily enough, the series of coincidences and misunderstandings meant nothing, as Haley was at home the entire time, and is understandably mortified by her family's hasty assumptions.
