Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Michael represents his family at a mock trial, Buster pretends he’s comatose to avoid testifying; Michael learns he may have an estranged sister.

Our Take

A stacked episode where the rapid-fire callbacks actually land instead of piling up for their own sake. Buster’s fake coma gives Tony Hale plenty to work with, and the mock trial format lets the whole family collide in satisfying ways. It moves fast, maybe too fast to catch everything on one viewing, but that’s a good problem to have.
