After being sent to Mexican prison, George finds a loophole to get out: he bribes the guards. When bounty hunter Ice tracks him down, Michael, George Michael, Maeby, Lindsay, and Ann head down to Mexico to track him down.

Season Four

Oscar invited George to see their shared land on the border of Mexico, where they all ate the maca plant and sat in a sweat lodge. George bought the land to gouge the government when they wanted to buy it, but the Mexico wall plan stalled so he came up with a plan to make money in the meantime: build a "Sweat and Squeeze" lodge where he would have Oscar take CEOs into a sweat lodge for an hour, then swap with his twin brother to charge them $10,000 or more for a cup of lemonade. ("Borderline Personalities")

Upon realizing Lindsay's testimony needed to be believable in order to receive any stimulus money, Tobias and Lindsay decided to visit a "Method Acting clinic", actually a methadone clinic. Lindsay again lost hope in Tobias and ran into Marky Bark; Lindsay thought Marky's ostrich farm was a divine sign so she and Marky absconded to start a new life together. Although the lovemaking was short and the dance sessions long, Lindsay became happy. Until she woke up under a giant pecking ostrich. ("Indian Takers")

They cousins encounter cowboys telling them to leave their land and the signs now read MRF. Steve Holt decides to go back home. Maeby tries to hitchhike back to America but accidentally took a ride to the border with some volunteers sent to help those who were displaced. She decides to stay and help distribute water to the less fortunate. George Michael continues to have a good time in Mexico because he is hanging with a bunch of white guys named Noah.
