Flat comic timing? A trip to a methadone clinic? This is one you can truly skip. Skip this one too. A lot of the criticism of season four was about how they divided the cast so often, which they tried to correct in season five. Even when the show is awful, you can usually give the cast credit for elevating it, but even they seem bored here. The courtroom scenes arguably reach their dullest point in this episode, but the routine in which Lucille is perpetually entertained by Gene Parmesan never grows old.

Despite the return of Liza Minnelli and the Hot Cops, this is a great example of the period in which Arrested Development was repeating jokes from better episodes — and not in a meta way, but a lazy one.
Uh-oh, season five is getting plot heavy! Much like George Sr. This is the point in season four when even the jokes that work make you long to get back to better leading characters like Michael and Gob. We also get some more Judy Greer as Kitty, although the Tony Wonder plot destroys that gag with an audio cameo by Ben Stiller that was probably recorded over Skype.
The Buster episode of season four comes too late to be as effective as it could have been, despite its solid jokes. Gob moves upstairs just so they can see the roof of the Rite-Aid, while Tobias moves on to an amazing George Michael impression because no one was buying him as a straight man.
