1	The family must appear at George Sr.'s arraignment hearing, but proceedings are jeopardized by Michael and Marta's relationship guilt and Gob's hunt for his unknown rival for Marta.
2
3	----
4	!!The ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' episode "Beef Consommé" provides examples of:
5
6	* AsLongAsItSoundsForeign: Tobias refers to two members of German Parliament calling their never-nude complex "nein wohlstandig" nude. Leaving the bad grammar aside, this phrase would translate to something like "non-prosperity" nude which is not making any sense at all.
7	* EntendreFailure: Marta takes "dad's hearing" literally and adds that her dad has issues with his vision.
8	* HitMeDammit: Buster spends the whole episode trying to get punched in the face, only to drop and curl into a ball when the time finally comes. This becomes a BrickJoke when he finally does get punched in the face by GOB's narcoleptic stripper in "[[Recap/ArrestedDevelopmentS1E19BestManForTheGOB Best Man for the GOB]]".
9	* ImmediateSequel: This episode takes place the day after "Marta Complex" and deals with Michael learning that Marta loves him. In fact, the "Next Time" segment from "Marta Complex" actually factors into this episode: George Michael deciding to find out Maeby's paternity, Tobias faced with having to overcome his Never Nude behavior, and Buster ''also'' falling in love with Marta.
10	* ImprovisedWeapon: GOB tries to attack Michael with the giant scissors. Michael grabs a large, fake rock and uses it to fight back. As expected, [[RockPaperScissors rock beats scissors]].
11	* LastSecondWordSwap: Lindsay and Tobias when Maeby enters the scene of their quarrel.
12	-->'''Lindsay:''' That's my point, you ... handsome cowboy, you.\
13	'''Tobias:''' Oh, great. And now you're mocking me?! You selfish [[CountryMatters cun]]-- try-music-loving lady!
14	* LeaningOnTheFourthWall: After Judge Ping says that there's no cameras allowed in the courtroom, we cut to ''outside'' the courtroom, with the doors closed.
15	* MinorFlawMajorBreakup: Marta breaks up with Michael over his scuffle with GOB in front of the court house.
16	-->'''Marta''': What is wrong with you? I thought you were good people. I thought you were noble. I thought you cared about family, but you clearly don't. It's over. Both of you. It's over.
17	* ObliviousGuiltSlinging: GOB praises Michael for his way with women, just as the latter wants to confess that he loves GOB's girlfriend Marta.
18	* TheTalk: Tobias goes into one with George Michael until the latter tells him to stop.
