Hatchet reporters woke up at 3 a.m. on the East Coast to binge-watch Season 4 of Arrested Development, released May 26, and chronicle one of the 15 new episodes every day.

Episode 2: “Borderline Personalities”

“Freaks and Geeks” cast cameos: 2

“Mad Men” cast cameos: 1

Best one-liner: “I don’t know what you saw, but I got an ostrich and no boner.” – George Sr. after consuming a hallucinogenic root.

Centered around: George Bluth, Sr.

As episode two begins, we hear a small twist in the ever-familiar intro: “It’s George Senior’s Arrested Development,” the narrator booms, departing from the usual intro line. It’s a clever idea, but also a bittersweet reminder the show is just a little bit different than before.

Lucille and George’s (Jessica Walter and Jeffrey Tambor) newest scheme is building a wall that borders the U.S. and Mexico, which they hope to resell to the government for profit. This leads George to a “sweat and squeeze” scam at a sweat lodge on the property with his twin brother Oscar; the two have already begun swapping places to con people. Nothing too strange or out of the ordinary for the show, and an interesting perspective on how much Lucille actually controls George in their planning process, which was only revealed in the Season 3 finale.

Seeing George outside of the attic and interacting with people who aren’t toy dolls (where’s Polly?) is strange, but his antics are in line with his usual character trademarks. He trades his yarmulke for some strange hallucinogenic root and is still preaching, which feels more like the show trying to remind us it’s not that different rather than a clever twist on his prison plotline from earlier seasons. Still, seeing the parts where Michael (Jason Bateman) crosses over from the first episode is rewarding, though it could easily start to feel redundant if we see the same scenes repeated over again in future episodes.
