The Cabin Show

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Michael is back in charge of The Bluth Co. and things appear to be on track. However, when Michael decides to take his son on a trip to the family cabin, his plan goes off course when he decides to track down George Sr. and ends up in Reno. Meanwhile, Lindsay – along with George Michael and Maeby, who are still dealing with the aftermath of their awkward kiss – goes searching for Tobias and discovers he’s not blue without her. Gob goes to an event hosted by a group that reunites abandoned sons with their fathers and gets a surprise of his own, while Lucille is up to her old tricks dealing with Buster.

Our Take

Season three picks up right where things left off, and the Reno detour gives Michael plenty of room to be exasperated in the way that made the show great in the first place. The Tobias blue joke pays off well and Gob’s father reunion subplot lands some solid absurdity. A confident, funny opener that doesn’t miss a beat.
