Visiting Ours 2017

Michael struggles to obtain information about his father’s international accounts and seeks help from George Sr.’s assistant, Kitty, hoping to coax the hidden details out of her. The pressure of unfinished business at the Bluth Company bleeds into family life when Lucille calls to report that their club membership has been downgraded, forcing Michael to manage a delicate reputational crisis on top of the financial one. In the midst of this, Gob moves into the Bluth Company offices and starts drafting a letter to the prison warden, intent on challenging the prison’s stance on his supposed “escape.” Michael devises a plan to use Kitty’s attraction to Gob as a leverage point, hoping the personal interest will loosen Kitty’s tongue and reveal the needed information.

Meanwhile, Lindsay and Tobias embark on their first marriage therapy session, providing a window into the fragile dynamics of the Bluth clan. Maeby and George Michael shadow them, eager to see how the therapy unfolds, though George Michael is reluctant and hints that a visit to George Sr. might be a better use of their time. George Michael vocalizes a desire to reconnect with his grandfather, while Gob’s flirtation with Kitty adds another layer of tension, especially as Lindsay and Tobias navigate the therapist’s exercises. Lindsay and Tobias engage in a role-reversal exercise, which brings both humor and a few uncomfortable truths to the surface.

As the day unfolds, Michael returns to the prison with George Michael, only to see George Sr. becoming increasingly convinced that his fate in prison will end badly after a softball game spirals into chaos in front of his grandson. Once the elder Bluth regains his composure, he reveals a surprising wish: he wants Lucille to make a conjugal visit. The therapy sessions and family discussions drift into a complicated plan to secure that request, while the family’s dynamics continue to tilt between support and self-serving schemes.

Back at home, Michael learns that Gob is deeply unsettled by the idea of his parents sharing a conjugal trailer, a situation that could reveal secrets better left undisclosed. Gob confesses that he has had sex with Kitty but notes that it did not yield the information he needs. With the clock ticking, Michael arranges another visit to the prison, this time bringing his mother along and placing her in a conjugal trailer. When George Sr. finally appears, he is shocked to discover Kitty waiting in the other trailer, confirming that the affair between Kitty and his wife has persisted for years. Desperate to keep the affair hidden, George Sr. pleads for assistance, and Michael taps Gob to help stall Kitty. Gob, repulsed at the prospect of repeating the affair, sneaks away and heads toward the warden, who has just read Gob’s letter and is suddenly confronted with a fortune of consequences. The warden detains Gob and presses him against the window of the trailer where George Sr. and Lucille are entangled, turning a backstage maneuver into a dramatic, comic twist that heightens the sense of risk and improvised family loyalty that runs through the entire story.
