[6.6/10] Again, I’m just not really into the Marta storyline. Having GOB and Michael fight (and, to a lesser extent, Buster) fight over her, just doesn't do much for me, so since that’s the biggest part of this episode, it mostly left me cold. (Especially the whole hermano/tio thing which isn’t that funny.) Though at least, if I remember correctly, this is pretty much the end of it at least.
The bit with George Sr. being arraigned was pretty fun, between George panicking at how many charges he’s facing and Barry Zuckercorn doing his best Lionel Hutz routine. And Buster trying to get punched in the face is a solid enough gag.
The best stuff in this one are the minor subplots. For one thing, I like Lindsay trying to help Tobias with his nevernude issue. It’s tasteful and oddly sweet (and funny when Tobias, as the narrator puts it, overcompensates). The same goes for George Michael trying to prove that Maeby isn’t really a Bluth so that he can date her, only to relent when he realizes he doesn't want to take Maeby’s family away from her since she unexpectedly takes such solace in it, even it means sacrificing his crush.
Overall, the main story in this one is pretty weak, but all the other little stories are funny and/or sweet.
