Episode Summary & Review
Summary
When Lucille hires a bounty hunter to find George Sr., he delivers the disturbing news that George Sr. is dead. Each Bluth copes with the pain in a different way: Gob tries to pull off an elaborate illusion, Maeby tries to set up Lindsay with the bounty hunter, and Michael tries to mend his son’s relationship. Meanwhile, George Sr. is closer than they all think.
Our Take
A grief episode where nobody actually grieves, and that’s the whole joke. The bounty hunter stuff lands well, Gob’s refusal to accept reality is a highlight, and the attic reveal pays off the whole setup. It sags a bit in the middle when the Maeby matchmaking subplot stalls. Funny and tightly built, worth your twenty minutes.
