Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Michael attempts to have an one night stand with an attorney whom he doesn’t know is not only blind, but the prosecutor who is trying to put his father in jail. Also, Gob gets married on a dare, Maeby pretends to be a girl with a made up disease, and George Sr.’s admirer turns out to be an undercover SEC agent who has truly fallen for him.
Our Take
A busy episode that juggles four plots and mostly keeps them all funny, which is rare for this show at this point. Michael’s blind date storyline is the highlight, with the misunderstanding escalating in satisfying ways, while Gob’s impulse wedding gives him some of his best material yet. A few gags misfire but the pacing never stalls. Worth your time.
