At the harbormaster's lounge after the boat party, Lindsay Bluth breaks off her marriage with her husband Tobias. After reading the "pray" section of Eat, Pray, Love, Lindsay is inspired to go on a spiritual trip to India, which devolves mostly into shopping for counterfeit goods. Eventually she runs out of money and decides to return, retaining advice from a shaman that told her "love is where you left it". Taking that as advice to reconcile with Tobias, she decides to try harder at their marriage and agrees to be a character witness at Lucille's trial in order to pay for a new house for them, which is a lavish mansion after meeting with a predatory realtor. Because of her increasing difficulty with the outlandish script that Lucille has written about being a good mother, Lindsay agrees to go to a method acting class with Tobias. Due to a misunderstanding, this ends up being a methadone clinic. On a double date with two patients from the clinic, Lindsay falls for activist Marky Bark and runs off with him. After a whirlwind night of dancing and mediocre sex, in which she breaks up with Tobias, Lindsay wakes up at Marky's ostrich farm he shares with his mother, where she is frustrated with herself for listening to the shaman.
Tropes:
- Arc Words: "Love is where you left it", said by Shaman Sheman to Lindsay, and interpreted as such.
- Foreshadowing: A number of small incidents happening to Lindsay on her Indian journey are later revealed to be linked to Tobias unbeknownst traveling along with her.
- The Little Shop That Wasn't There Yesterday: The hotel shaman's tent disappears behind Linday's back.
- Title Drop: Averted. The headline of John Beard's news story about the crash of the housing market is "Halted Development".
