- GoofsWhen Buster goes on his soccer rampage the first clip shows him putting down the ball and running (presumably with the ball). In this you can clearly see the soccer ball on the ground behind him and him running away from it. In the next shot he is shown kicking the ball again.
- Quotes
Maebe: So, you killed Kitty, huh?
Michael: No, I did not kill Kitty. However, I am going to oblige and answer the nice officer's questions because I am an honest man with no secrets to hide.
[whoops and hollers heard from the conference room]
Michael: And apparently, a fun one. Why don't we go see what's going on in the back, shall we?
Maebe: Were those the last words Kitty ever heard?

In the past, Michael took George-Michael to work on "Take Your Daughter to Work Day," but he decides to take Maeby to act as a proper role model for her unlike her parents. They even decide on a pact to not lie to each other. That pact so happens to be on the same day where the police decides to question Michael on Kitty Sanchez's disappearance. Lindsay decides to take on responsibility by working at a clothing boutique and Tobias decides to get a job at that same boutique as a security guard. Finally, Buster is jealous over Lucille's interest in Annyong's soccer game.
Each storyline in "Not Without My Daughter" delivers many funny moments and dialogue. I will just describe my favorites in no particular order. Lindsay actually purchased her new clothing with her money, but she is afraid to tell her family she used money to purchase the clothes, so she just said she shoplifted them. Watching the scenes with George-Michael as Michael's "daughter." That one creepy quote from George-Michael, "Hey, Dad, you're out of sanitary napkins in the ladies' restroom." Listening Buster trying to discuss sports with George Sr. was great! I really liked how the episode tied up loose ends together, especially regarding the case of Kitty. That was played off as dramatic with a hint of amusement. I really enjoyed this episode.
