Episode Summary & Review
Summary
The family unites behind Lindsay’s campaign, but Michael senses that something is amiss. Maeby has an idea that George-Michael likes a little too much.
Our Take
This one feels like the season spinning its wheels, with the campaign plot mostly just an excuse for recycled Bluth dysfunction. Maeby and George-Michael’s storyline gets a few real laughs, but Michael’s paranoia stuff drags and goes nowhere fast. It’s watchable if you’re already committed to season 5, just don’t expect the sharp rhythm of the show’s better days.
