Season 2 / Episode 17: - Spring Breakout

Michael: Well, maybe an intervention is the wrong approach. What about rehab? She was just a mess at the meeting. Where were you, by the way? I could've used your help with mom.
Gob: I believe I told you I was going to be off for the holidays. It's Spring Break.

TRIVIA

The treatment center where Lucille is taken is called Shady Pines. This was also the name of the retirement home where Sophia used to live on "The Golden Girls" which series creator Mitchell Hurwitz used to write for.
The narrator states that "Sugarfoot" had stopped airing 12 years before Michael was born. At this rate, Michael would have been born in 1973, since the show ended in 1961.
