Summary
As the Second of July parade approaches, Sally steps up her campaign against Lindsay while the Bluths again struggle to keep their stories straight.
Our Take
This one feels like filler with a few good jokes scattered through it. The political subplot gives Lindsay something to do, but the family lying-in-circles routine is wearing thin by this point in the season. Some solid one-liners keep it watchable, though the pacing drags badly in the middle. Fine if you’re already committed, but nobody’s missing much by skipping ahead.
