George Michael learns Maeby has been living in Lucille 2's condo, pretending to be her 60-year old sister.
While preparing to leave town once again, Michael's scuba dive leads him to the family's old sea cottage that had been sold after his wife's death, where he finds out his family never actually sold it.
George becomes depressed after learning about Lucille's new affair and Tobias prepares with a reluctant young actor to play two of the missing Bluth family members at the upcoming Family of The Year ceremony.
The Arrested Development episode "An Old Start" provides examples of:
- Comically Missing the Point: At the model home, when Tobias imitates George Michael junior asking for his mommy in a high pitched voice, Michael asks him not to go there. Tobias agrees ... and lowers his voice by one octave.
- Leaning on the Fourth Wall: Tobias points out to his son that Michael is the
simplest character in the entire family who only has one personality trait: He always comes back. And he always has his hands in his pockets. - "Well Done, Son" Guy: Once again, GOB is trying to get his father to love him.
