  Episode Notes  
On The Next Arrested Development Gag: Barry gets a sign from God, and Maggie is replaced with a new, less generous prosecutor.
 
The Bluth family chart that the government has includes, in addition to the main Bluth family, Annoying Bluth, Surely Fünke, Carl Weathers, Lucille 2, Kitty, Marta (who has an X over her photo) and a silhouetted figure with "no photo available" under it.
 
  Episode Quotes  
Maeby: Plus, who's going to get mad at the dying girl?
George Michael: Surely's dying?
Maeby: I figure I'll kill her off just before graduation just so everyone gets really sad before prom.
 
Maggie: Did you ever see him return from these trips with anything unusual?
Buster: He once came back once with a black statue with an erect penis. It stayed in our living room until my aunt objected.
 
Maggie: So, what about us? We were starting to establish some trust. Except for all the lies.
 
Lindsay: (about the Ten Commandments statue outside of the courthouse) I've always been very passionate about the separation of church and state.
Michael: What are you going to do with them?
Lindsay: Oh, I don't know. Give them to a school.
 
G.O.B.: Oh, now you love the Ten Commandments. And yet you’re the one who so conveniently forgot “Thou shalt protect thy father, and honor no one above him unless it beith me—thy sweet Lord.”
Michael: I’m not sure that one made it down the mountain, G.O.B.
 
Tobias: Ah ... the clumsy adolescent. It’s a phase we’ve all been through. Except for me. I was like a cat. I always ended up on all fours. (long pause) Like a cat.
 
Maeby: Plus, who’s going to get mad at the dying girl?
George Michael: Surely’s dying?
Maeby: I figure I’ll kill her off just before graduation just so everyone gets really sad before prom.
 
George Michael: Maeby, someone’s going to get hurt. Not to mention it’s kind of disrespectful for kids who actually have this.
Maeby: Not a lot of kids have B.S. these days.
George Michael: What does that stand for?
Maeby: I don’t know. It’s B.S.
 
G.O.B.: Consummated ... What is up with that prosecutie? I hope you didn’t break up with her.
Michael: No, I didn’t. And, to make matters worse, she gave me
this. It’s a summary of the evidence that they have against Dad.
G.O.B.: Okay, Michael, this makes matters better. Let’s just destroy it and move on with our lives.

Tobias demonstrating his catlike agility is a reference back to "Bringing Up Buster" where we first see Tobias' catlike moves when he tumbles onto the stage.
 
Outsourcing

G.O.B. has Buster break into Maggie Lizer's similar to "Charity Drive" when G.O.B. makes George Michael and Maeby break into the permit office for him.
 
Episode Title: Justice is Blind

The episode title is a possible reference to Maggie Lizer's seeing-eye dog, Justice. Justice was first seen in "Alter Egos".
