Complete story — includes the ending

Ann breaks up with George Michael, citing the two of them constantly being interrupted by Michael's antics as the reason. Ice reveals to the family that George Sr. has reportedly been executed in Mexico. The family holds a wake, and decides not to tell Buster in fear of the news upsetting him. Gob attempts to perform an illusion at the burial in which he is buried in place of his father's body, which upsets Buster, who realizes he is at a funeral; Buster, disturbed by the news, lets go of the casket and causes it to collapse onto Gob, leaving him stuck. George Michael, walking outside of the house, depressed by his breaking up and grandfather's death, discovers George Sr. alive in an underground bunker, subsequently hiding him in the attic. When Michael finds out, he tells the family, who, upon checking the attic, find an open window and no sign of George Sr. After everyone but Michael leaves, George Sr. emerges from a hiding spot and begs to continue hiding in the attic, which Michael agrees to.
