S4E4 · The B. Team

Complete story — includes the ending

Having seen a picture of Michael in the in-flight magazine, Ron Howard is inspired to make a movie about him, and summons Michael to meet him at Imagine Entertainment. Kitty Sanchez, George Sr.'s former assistant, now works at the studio as a producer, after betraying Maeby's lack of a high school diploma to steal her job. In exchange for the rights to Michael's "inspiring father/son story", Ron agrees to make him a producer on the project. Ron tells Michael that he wants his daughter, Rebel Alley, who Michael thinks is Ron's mistress, to play Michael's wife, Tracey, in the film. Although at first reluctant to participate in the movie and not wanting to become involved with his father again, Michael commits to the idea after using his business card (which lists him as an executive producer) to flirt with a struggling actress/musician ( Isla Fisher ) whom he literally bumps into on the street. After a fight with his father, Michael procrastinates his job securing the rights by attempting to cast actors for the movie ( Carl Weathers and Andy Richter ), and hiring George's prison warden as a screenwriter ( James Lipton ). Learning about Michael's selfish motive to become a producer to impress a girl, who Michael doesn't actually know the name of, George reconciles with Michael and agrees to sign over his movie rights. However, Michael learns from Ron that the father/son story he is interested in is actually the story of Michael and George Michael. On their date, Michael and the actress make out in a photo-booth, leading his to learn from a photo of her tattoo that her name is Rebel, whom Michael still believes to be Ron's mistress.
