Description

DON’T SET THE BANANA STAND ON FIRE, GEORGE MICHAEL!!!

STOP CRYING, TOBIAS!!!

DEAD DOVE- DO NOT EAT!!!


FAVOURITE BITS IN THIS EPISODE:

1. George Bluth Senior threw a piece of ice cream sandwich at Michael’s face!

2. Maeby was trying to wake George Michael up by jumping on his bed!

3. Gob tried to throw a letter in the sea!

4. Michael, George Michael and Gob looked at a burning banana stand!

PLOT: The banana stand has burned down and flashbacks reveal the events that led to its destruction: Michael tries to get George Sr. to let him run the company himself. Maeby joins George Michael working at the banana stand, where she steals money from the till. George Michael sets it on fire, with Michael's permission. They do not realise that it is not insured due to Gob not mailing a letter to the insurance company and Michael is informed by George Sr. that there was $250,000 within the walls of the stand. Michael builds a new stand out of wood. Tobias auditions for a commercial but the role is given to Lindsay instead.
