In the season 3 episode 2 of Arrested Development, titled "For British Eyes Only," the Bluth Company faces a predicament when their latest video presentation, directed by Michael, goes awry. The video, which was meant to showcase the family's new construction project in Iraq, instead contains incriminating footage of the family members engaging in their typical absurd antics.
To salvage the situation, Michael turns to his British girlfriend Rita, who works for a British television network and who promises to help edit the video to make it suitable for British eyes. However, Michael soon realizes that Rita may not be as helpful as he thought, as she seems more interested in spending time with Gob than assisting Michael with his work.
Meanwhile, Lindsay tries to capitalize on her new job as a stylist for a local news station by promoting herself with flyers around town. However, her attempts backfire when she mistakenly advertises her services as a "stylist for the blind" instead of a "style analyst for the news." This leads to a series of awkward encounters with visually impaired people who are confused as to why Lindsay is offering them fashion advice.
Elsewhere, George Michael and Maeby are busy planning their fake TV show, and they enlist Gob as their writer. However, Gob proves to be a less-than-ideal addition to the team, as his ideas are strange and his writing skills are questionable.
As the episode progresses, it becomes clear that Rita may not be the trustworthy, helpful girlfriend Michael once believed her to be. Michael soon discovers that Rita's motives are not aligned with his goals and that she has been using him for her own purposes. This realization leads to a turn of events that could have serious consequences for the Bluth Company and their future endeavors.
Overall, "For British Eyes Only" is a hilarious and action-packed episode that highlights the Bluth family's penchant for getting into absurd situations. The interweaving plotlines keep viewers engaged and entertained, while the witty dialogue and quirky characters make for a delightfully entertaining viewing experience.
