Sad Sack

Episode Summary & Review

Summary

When Wayne Jarvis is assigned to prosecute George Sr., he threatens Michael to turn in his father or go to jail. Michael, who has hidden his father in the attic, convinces him to stay hidden until he can figure out what to do. George Sr. confesses that he is only in town to win back Lucille and Michael is concerned that he will find out about Lucille’s relationship with Oscar. Meanwhile, Lindsay spends more time with Maeby to get closer to Steve Holt and Tobias starts working out.

Our Take

A tightly packed half hour where every storyline gets at least one good laugh, with the “Sad Sack” photos subplot paying off in memorably absurd fashion. Tobias’s steroid-adjacent gym arc walks a fine line but mostly lands, and the attic hiding plot keeps the season’s momentum going. Solid, rewatchable, very much the show firing on all cylinders.
