Review by John Huelsman
Desperate to find money, at George Sr.'s request, Michael contacts "Uncle Jack", a man who the family has had past business relations with. Meanwhile, the family members enjoy their weekend getaways at a local spa / resort, and Michael suggests to Tobias that he buy a tape recorder to listen to some of his questionable phrasing.

REVIEW:
The Bluths fear that Lucille 2 is trying to make a move against the company after Gob catches Stan Sitwell calling her house. They now think they are working together…but we as the audience know the whole time that Stan only has a crush on Lucille and that’s the real reason he is calling her home.
Michael, in fear of losing control of the company, goes to his father for guidance. I think by now Michael should just trust his own judgment and not listen to his father. What has his father done to prove that he knows what to do to save a company? Anyway, George suggests Michael turn to Uncle Jack Dorso for financial assistance to help the company. I will stress…just like narrator Ron Howard does many times throughout the episode…that Jack Dorso is not the Bluth’s real uncle. He is just a family friend.
Comedic genius Martin Short plays Jack Dorso perfectly. He makes this episode…and quite possibly is the first guest star to basically carry an episode, in my opinion. He is the source for the majority of the big laughing moments.
Jack is crippled but refuses to have a wheelchair. Instead he has a big muscle man carry him around from room to room ordering him where to place him. Oh, he also tends to drool all over himself. It’s entertaining and I cannot picture anyone else besides Martin Short pulling off the role this successfully.
Many past guest stars make reappearances in this episode. We get a return from the always sweet Christine Taylor as Sally Sitwell and Julia Louis-Dreyfus as prosecuting attorney Maggie Lizer. We also see more of Amy Poehler as Gob’s estranged wife, but we only get a mentioning of her and a few new still images. But it’s nice to see her face again.
This episode is a lot funnier than the past few episodes, which is a relief. Michael is currently in a relationship with Sally Sitwell and things have been going well. I am happy to see Christine Taylor back because judging by the previous episode it didn’t appear she would be returning. The two of them are having a great time and even George Michael is happy for them.
But of course, something has to go wrong. Maggie Lizer (Dreyfus) returns and is now eight and a half months pregnant. It has been that long since she has slept with Michael so he immediately assumes he is the father, despite Maggie reassuring him that the baby is not his.
But why should Michael believe her? As a viewer, I am not sure I believe her either. The first time the two of them were together their relationship was completely based on lies. It’s all he knows of her. Why wouldn’t she lie about this? In fact, because she tells him it’s not his, he assumes she’s lying.
This unfortunately means Michael has to break off his relationship with Sally, which actually seems like a really healthy relationship. I feel for Michael in this situation. He’s breaking off a good thing for something that’s not so clear. But, since it is Michael, he has to do what he feels is the most stand-up thing to do.

Michael knows Lindsay is smitten over the muscle man carrying Jack around so he convinces Lindsay that is who she will actually be romantic with. But after Michael agrees to this, he remembers he had promised Tobias a romantic getaway with Lindsay…and he would be at the same hotel when Lindsay arrives with Uncle Jack. Michael’s plan to not let anybody get hurt is threatened and he rushes to the hotel to find Tobias before he finds his wife with someone else. Michael may always think he has everyone’s best interest at heart, but sometimes he doesn’t think everything through completely.
Meanwhile, Gob and Buster both long for the company of Lucille 2 again and also race to the hotel to find her. They still believe Lucille 2 is going to the hotel with Stan Sitwell…on a romantic getaway package…for business. This shows how much the two of them also tend to think things through completely. Sense my sarcasm here. I do love the parts when Buster and Gob break into the hotel and Buster continues to use maneuvers he has learned in Army training.
The episode’s final scene finds Tobias wrestling a crippled Jack Dorso for Lindsay’s affection and Buster wrestling Gob for Lucille 2’s affection. After all of the fighting, Lucille 2 realizes just how badly off the family is and she decides to sell her shares back to the family. Yes, if I was in her position, I’d wash my hands clean of it too.
Tobias does bring some golden moments throughout the episode with the way he speaks. I’ve noticed it during previous episodes but it really gets pushed to the forefront during this one. He always tends to say small comments that lead one to believe he is gay but doesn’t realize it. There is a complete series of sentences he says to Michael early on in the episode where everything he says is a sexual innuendo, but he has no idea. Michael recommends he tape record everything he says for a day just to see what he sounds like. In the previews for the next episode (which rarely ever show up in the next episode), it shows Tobias listening to a recording of himself and he realizes what he sounds like. But it doesn’t seem to fix anything.
