"In God We Trust" is the eighth episode[a] of the first season of the American television satirical sitcom Arrested Development.
The series, narrated by Ron Howard, follows the Bluths, a formerly wealthy, dysfunctional family, who made their money from property development.
In the episode, George Sr. is to be released for an afternoon to take part in a pageant of living art representations, playing God in Michelangelo's The Creation of Adam.
Michael (Jason Bateman), Lindsay (Portia de Rossi) and Lucille (Jessica Walter) have a meeting with the family's longtime attorney, Barry Zuckerkorn (Henry Wrinkler), to discuss George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor)'s incarceration.
Barry proves difficult to work with, but arranges for the court to release George Sr. for an afternoon so he can participate in the "Living Classics" pageant.
While neither Lindsay nor Tobias see the ticket, Gob (Will Arnett) does, which confirms his suspicions that Michael is planning to flee the country after learning Spanish.
George Sr. gets his 24 hours of freedom as the pageant begins, while Michael and Lindsay arrive and find Lucille with Wayne, not Barry.
