Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When the president of a rival company, Sitwell, hires away Gob in an effort to win the big company softball game against the Bluth Co., Michael asks Gob to throw the game. Gob grapples with the idea, but finds his new boss supportive and fatherly, which catches him off guard. Meanwhile, Lindsay takes anti depressants and the bizarre side effects include hallucinations and a strong sense of team spirit.

Our Take

A tight episode built around Gob’s daddy issues, and Will Arnett plays the confusion perfectly. The softball plot gives everyone something to do, and Lindsay’s drug-induced team spirit is a nice running gag even if it wears thin by the end. Not the season’s funniest half hour, but the Sitwell material lands more often than not. Worth your time.
