George Sr. is concerned about the romance growing between his twin brother Oscar and Lucille. The prosecutor turns up new evidence supporting the Bluths' "light treason" charge.
The Arrested Development episode "Sad Sack" provides examples of:
- The Comically Serious: Wayne. "I was once called the worst audience participant Cirque du Soleil ever had... I did not find their buffoonery amusing".
- Double-Meaning Title: You know, a nutsack.
- Fake Twin Gambit: George Sr. poses as his twin brother Oscar in order to learn if Lucille was in love with Oscar.
- Hypocritical Humour: Tobias says that the Blue Man Group might need him and he deserves a fancy phone, then recklessly throws it up in the air. The Lemony Narrator lampshades this: "They didn't, and he doesn't".
- Instantly Proven Wrong: Immediately after he tells Michael that he's "a lot more competent than you can imagine", Barry's microwaved burrito goes up in flames because he forgot to take the tinfoil off it.
- Lampshade Hanging: Immediately after saying, "Do I look like a criminal mastermind to you?", George Sr. takes quite a bit of time to figure out how to open a package of ham.
- The Reveal: The incriminating landscape found on the Bluths' e-mail server and which the government believed was the proof of Iraq's WMD's is actually a picture of Tobias' balls he accidentally took while taking a bath.
- Take That!: When Michael questions how Wayne Jarvis can prosecute the Bluth family after almost representing them, Wayne's only response is, "The Patriot Act. Read it". The act is subject to several more Take Thats throughout the episode.
- Unsettling Gender-Reveal: Invoked and subverted by Maeby, who wants Steve Holt to think Lindsay is her father, not her mother. She goes so far as to buy her mother a shirt with a label "in French":Maeby: It's pronounced 'Shemalé'.
- Wham Line: "Those are balls."
