Gob's wife files for divorce. Michael learns that former lover (and known liar) Maggie Lizer is pregnant, so he has Tobias and Lindsay break into her house to collect a urine sample to confirm her pregnancy. Buster swims in the ocean and has his hand bitten off by a loose seal.
The Arrested Development episode "Out on a Limb" provides examples of:
- But We Used a Condom!: Michael's first reaction when learning about his possible fatherhood.
- Foreshadowing: Right before a seal bites off Buster's hand, the way he's sitting in front of a bench makes it look like the bench's advertisement says "ARM OFF".
- Fun with Homophones: "Watch out for loose seal!" — "I don't care about Lucille!"
- Hypocritical Humour:Lindsay: Look at us. Three relationships all falling apart. Maybe it’s time we actually took some responsibility for that.G.O.B.: I think it’s Mom’s fault.Lindsay: I was going to say the exact same thing.
- Also:Tobias: You know, Mother Lucille, there’s a psychological concept known as denial that I believe you’re evincing. It’s when a thought is so hateful that the mind literally rejects it.Lucille: You are a worse psychiatrist than you are a son-in-law, and you will never get work as an actor because you have no talent.Tobias: Well, if she’s not going to say anything, I certainly can’t help her.
- Also:
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Really? Could've sworn it was a year.
- Luke, I Am Your Father: It's actually George Sr revealing to Buster that Oscar is his father.
- Mistaken for Pregnant: Zigzagged. First it looked like Maggie staged her pregnancy but after some twists and turns it becomes clear she... really was faking it.
- Product Placement: Played for Laughs with George Sr sneaking out of the attic to visit the Ford dealership:George: Oh, when? When have I ever left the attic?
Michael: Two days ago. Right? I saw you floating around a Ford dealership.
George: Yeah, well, have you seen the new Mustang? You could hump that hood! - Wham Episode: Minor, but again, a seal bites off Buster's hand.
