In Arrested Development season 4 episode 1, titled "Flight of the Phoenix," viewers are reintroduced to the Bluth family in a very different way than they remember them. The episode picks up seven years after the Bluth family was last seen, and now each family member is going through their own set of problems.

Michael Bluth, the second-oldest son, has left the family and moved to Phoenix, Arizona to start a new life. However, things don't go as planned when his son George Michael, who is now attending college in California, comes to visit him. George Michael reveals that he and his father are going to be featured in a college newspaper article about successful "Big Men on Campus" and Michael sees this as an opportunity to reconnect with his son and show him how successful he has become.

Meanwhile, George Bluth, the patriarch of the family, is still in prison, but he has become a bit of a celebrity and is teaching an acting class to his fellow inmates. Meanwhile, his daughter, Lindsey, is dealing with her own marital problems. Her husband, Tobias, has left her and is now pretending to be a licensed therapist in a way to try and win her back.

Buster Bluth, Michael's younger brother, has enlisted in the Army and is serving in Iraq. However, he is struggling to adjust to his new life and is desperate to return home. Lucille Bluth, the matriarch of the family, is also going through a difficult time. She has been trying to sell the family's yacht, but has had no luck and is now forced to live in a penthouse suite.

As the episode progresses, Michael tries to impress his son by showing him his new life in Arizona, but he quickly learns that things aren't as great as they seem. Michael is struggling financially and is forced to live in a small, rundown apartment. In a desperate attempt to prove his worth to his son, Michael decides to invest in a new software company, thinking that it will bring him the success he craves.

The rest of the Bluth family is also dealing with their own problems. Lindsey is struggling with her own identity and trying to figure out who she really is. Tobias is dealing with his own issues and trying to win his estranged wife back. Buster, on the other hand, is struggling to adjust to life in the Army and is desperate to return home.

Overall, Arrested Development season 4 episode 1, "Flight of the Phoenix," sets up the rest of the season by introducing viewers to the new, changed Bluth family. The episode is filled with witty one-liners and clever jokes, proving that even after seven years, the show is still as hilarious as ever.
