Ep 6. The Ocean Walker

The Ocean Walker is the sixth episode of the third season of the comedy series Arrested Development. The episode revolves around a family trip to Mexico to meet Marta's family and the events that take place during the trip.

The Bluth family, along with Michael's girlfriend, Marta, head to Mexico to meet her family. Michael is hesitant about the trip, but decides to go anyway in order to make Marta happy. Upon arriving in Mexico, the Bluths are greeted by a picturesque beach, but tensions quickly begin to rise as they attempt to navigate the cultural differences between themselves and Marta's family.

Gob, the eldest Bluth son and magician extraordinaire, spends most of the episode trying to impress Marta's father, who is extremely resistant to Gob's charms. Meanwhile, Lucille and Buster team up to try and sneak alcohol onto the beach, with less than successful results. George Sr. is also dealing with issues of his own as he tries to pitch a pharmaceutical company on a new drug he has invented, with the aid of his prosthetic hand.

As the family's trip continues, tensions only continue to rise. Michael is frustrated with Marta for her unwillingness to stand up to her overbearing family, who are insistent on pushing their traditional values onto Michael and the Bluths. The Bluths, on the other hand, are having trouble understanding the cultural customs of their hosts and are constantly stepping on toes.

The episode ends on a somber note, with Michael profoundly upset about the trip and the apparent lack of support he is receiving from Marta. However, in typical Arrested Development fashion, the show manages to find humor and levity in even the darkest of moments, leaving the viewer with a sense of excitement and anticipation for what's to come.

Overall, The Ocean Walker is a hilarious, character-driven episode that continues to showcase the unique humor and wit that has made Arrested Development such a beloved cult classic. The episode is a testament to the show's ability to turn even the most mundane situations into comedic gold, and it is a must-watch for anyone who is a fan of the series.
