Episode Summary & Review

Summary

Buster realizes that medical marijuana will help cure Lucille 2’s vertigo, and pays George Michael to get it for him from Gob. Lindsay sends Maeby to spend a day with Lucille to punish her for bad grades. Michael thinks George Michael is on drugs and attempts to teach him a lesson.

Our Take

A classic farce episode where every lie stacks neatly on the next one, and the “lesson” Michael tries to teach spirals into one of the show’s best-running gags. The fake drug bust bit is tightly plotted for a show this chaotic. Solid, funny, and well worth twenty-two minutes.
