"The One Where Michael Leaves" is the second season premiere of the American television satirical sitcom Arrested Development (title card pictured), originally broadcast on the Fox Network in November, 2004. The series follows the wealthy Bluth family, and the episode mainly focuses on Michael, as he and his son attempt to flee to Phoenix, while his father is held in prison. Meanwhile, Tobias gets an audition for the Blue Man Group. The episode's production received assistance from the group, who only asked that the series keep their air of mystery.

Since airing, it has also received thematic analysis from both scholars and critics. (Full article...)
