Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Michael deals with numerous requests for some unfrozen money, and chastises Lucille for being too coddling with Buster. Lindsay decides to protest the war to boost her self esteem while Tobias and Gob decide to start a coffee company.
Our Take
A busy episode that juggles the frozen money storyline with Gob and Tobias’ doomed coffee partnership, and mostly lands its jokes. Buster’s “army” dependency on Lucille gets some great uncomfortable laughs, and the pacing rarely stalls. It’s a solid mid-run entry, not the season’s peak, but an easy half hour for anyone already on board.
