Episode Summary & Review
Summary
Buster’s brief appearance in a TV weather report puts the Bluths back in hot water, but Michael has a plan involving his son’s definitely real company.
Our Take
This one feels like the season running on fumes, recycling Buster trouble and movie references without landing many actual jokes. The plot mechanics around Michael’s scheme are convoluted even by this show’s standards, and the laugh gap between setups and payoffs gets pretty wide. Watchable for completists, but there’s not much here worth your half hour.
