“Legends of Tomorrow” star Victor Garber has just been cast to play the role of Chef Dumont in an upcoming February episode of “Modern Family” Season 8.

In the episode, Claire (Julie Bowen) will be attending the cooking classes of Chef Dumont since she’s become very obsessed with him and his cooking show. The same episode will also feature appearances by Peyton Manning and Rob Riggle, according to Entertainment Weekly.

But before the highly-anticipated episode, “Modern Family” Season 8 will first release its 11th episode on Wednesday, Jan. 11. “Sarge & Pea” will feature the return of Jay’s (Ed O’Neill) ex-wife, DeDe (Shelley Long). In the episode, Mitch (Jesse Tyler Ferguson) and Claire will bump into their mom at a family friend’s wedding. But since they are also with their dad, the siblings worry that their parents, who are not exactly the best of friends, will make a scene. In order to make sure that Jay and DeDe won’t cross paths, Mitch and Claire will come up with a plan to keep them away from each other. However, by the looks of it, Jay and DeDe will still see each other in Season 8, episode 11.

Elsewhere, Phil (Ty Burrell) and Gloria (Sofia Vergara) will join Luke (Nolan Gould) and Manny (Rico Rodriguez) on their college tour. While there, Phil and Gloria will realize that they have very different ways of getting their sons ready to head out on this new adventure. Phil seems to be the more emotional one, but in order for Luke to not be bullied, his dad will encourage him to do some weights. Gloria, on the other hand, will encourage Manny to make new friends.

“Modern Family” Season 8, episode 11 will air on ABC at 8:30 p.m. EST.
