6	!!The ''Series/ArrestedDevelopment'' episode "Family Leave" provides examples of:
7	* AbortedArc: George Sr's life as a woman doesn't last more than a couple of days.
8	* EvolvingCredits: Updated photos aside, the second shot, which usually displays the person whose legal problems are the show's focus (George Sr during the show's original run and Lucille in season 4), now shows Buster.
9	* NeverGotToSayGoodbye: Michael's excuse to the cop why he wrote "Love you" under his note to Lucille is that he uses this phrase whenever he means goodbye because you never know if you see that person again. Leads to a BrickJoke when he tells the cop "Love you" on his way out.
10	* NothingIsTheSameAnymore: Parodied when addressing the impact of the previous season's finale:
11	-->'''Narrator''': There are some moments that are hard to take back. Moments that create too great a shift in dynamic. An earthquake in a family that shatters both members' notions of themselves. Like when you punch your dad!
12	* ThatCameOutWrong: On the phone Michael tells his son to "hit him back", but quickly realizes that it wasn't probably the best expression to use.
13	* TheProblemWithPenIsland: When Michael spells out the licence plate number of Tobias' car "A-N-U-S-T-A-R-T" to the cop, she takes it as A NEW START.
14	* WhatAreRecords: Maeby mistakes a landline phone for a sex toy.
