About the article "Can't Smile Without You", section "Abstract".

Candidate passages:
For ten years, Michael Bluth had been waiting for his father, George Sr., to make him a partner in their family company.
On the morning of his father's retirement boat party, Michael discusses the announcement of his promotion with his son, George Michael.
The two of them are living in one of the Bluths' model homes, to show their support for the business.
After dropping his son off at the frozen banana stand his father started, Michael goes to see his oldest brother Gob (an amateur magician), to ask for his check to cover party expenses.
Gob tells Michael that their sister Lindsay had been staying at the Four Seasons for a month.
Upset by both Lindsay's avoidance of him and her abuse of the company's largesse, Michael goes to tell his mother, Lucille, that the company checkbook is closing.
At the banana stand, George Michael's cousin Maeby plays a prank on him, taking advantage of the fact that he doesn't recognize her.
The kids discuss how they never see each other, and Maeby suggests they kiss at the boat party to teach their parents that the cousins need to see each other more often.
Back at the hotel, Tobias, believing that the boat party is pirate-themed because of a joke from Michael, begins trying on Lindsay's blouses.
He mistakes a group of garishly dressed men for pirates, and boards a van full of homosexual protesters.
Finally, George Sr., gives his retirement speech, and appoints the new CEO: his wife Lucille.
The dismayed Michael decides it's time to move on.
The family poses for a photo; Maeby goes through with her previous suggestion and kisses George Michael as the SEC raids the ship.
George Sr. calls his secretary with instructions on what to do.
Lindsay takes command of the boat and Lucille tells Buster, her youngest son, to find a channel to the ocean on the maps.
Buster, despite his cartography lessons, can only offer certainty that the blue part of the map is land before a panic attack sets in.
The SEC hauls George Bluth away, leaving the family in turmoil.
At the police station, Tobias joins up with the family and discovers that the men on the other boat with him were in fact actors from the local theater.
Believing that a path has been shown to him, Tobias informs the family that he has decided to become an actor.
Michael then informs the family that their dad is being kept in jail, and the SEC is putting a halt on the company's expense account.
Lucille decides to put Buster in charge.
This is too much for Michael, who accepts a job in Arizona with a rival development company.
When Buster discovers his academic pursuits didn't prepare him for running a big company, the family turns to Michael, begging for his help.
Michael rejects their imposition, but Lindsay says he should visit their father before leaving.
Michael does indeed visit his father in jail, asking why he wasn't put in charge.
George informs him that he put Lucille in charge because he believes they cannot arrest a husband and wife for the same crime.
Michael tells him that isn't true, and George curses the advice of his attorneys.
At the model home, Lindsay is seeing what she can grab and sell when she comes across George Michael.
He opens up his heart, saying he wishes the family could see each other more often, and when Michael sees this, he decides to stay in California and try to save the family business.
On the next "Arrested Development": "George Michael gets a new roommate and Michael finds it difficult to get his father out of jail."
Michael Faraday (Jeff Bridges) is a college history professor at George Washington University who has been raising his nine-year-old son, Grant (Spencer Treat Clark), since the death of his FBI agent wife, Leah, who was killed in the line of duty in a scene loosely based on the real-life Ruby Ridge incident.
Somewhat of a specialist regarding American terrorism and due to teach a class on terrorism at the university, Michael starts to become suspicious of his new suburban neighbors, Oliver (Tim Robbins) and Cheryl Lang (Joan Cusack), whom he's just met after taking their son, Brady (Mason Gamble), to the emergency room following a reported fireworks accident.
At first his suspicions are based on little things such as Oliver's architectural blueprints that seem to be for something other than the shopping mall he claims he's building, as well as pieces of mail that contradict where Oliver said he attended college.
Neither his girlfriend and former student, Brooke Wolfe (Hope Davis), nor his wife's former FBI partner, Whit Carver (Robert Gossett), believe any of his wild theories.
After doing some digging, Michael discovers that Oliver's real name is William Fenimore, and that he built a pipe bomb and used it to try to blow up a postal office in Kansas when he was 16.
William/Oliver confronts Michael over his looking into William's past.
He reveals that 'Oliver Lang' is the name of his friend, who died in a hunting accident.
William's family had owned a farm but it went broke because the government 'appropriated' the river that ran through it 'for other uses'.
As a result the crops died and they could not raise any animals.
William's dad then killed himself and made it look like a tractor accident so the family could claim the life insurance.
He left a note for William explaining everything.
He built the pipe bomb to get back at the government.
When William's friend Oliver died he took his name the next day to hide his past.
This makes Michael think twice about what he had found out.
Michael continues to uncover what could be possible evidence and becomes even more wary of Oliver and Cheryl.
Michael's girlfriend, Brooke, casually spots Oliver and follows his car after witnessing a suspicious package delivery in a garage.
Her trail ends up in the headquarters of a mail delivery company from where she decides to call Michael and leave a message, finally accepting his fears as founded; unfortunately, after hanging up, she turns around and stumbles on Cheryl, who had obviously heard the whole message.
Brooke's murder, which happens off-screen, is covered up by making it look like Brooke died in a car crash.
Michael realizes this after finding out, a few days later, that at least two voice messages were left in his answering machine and then erased by someone else who gained access to Michael's house while he was not home.
He tells Carver that Lang may have been involved in her death, and is going to get proof by traveling to St. Louis to talk to a terrorist's father, Arthur Scobee Sr. Scobee's son blew up an IRS building five years ago (a thinly veiled allusion to the Oklahoma City bombing ), killing himself and eight children in the process.
It becomes obvious that Scobee was set up.
Another clue leads Faraday to suspect that his son may be in danger when he sees that the late Arthur "Dean" Scobee Jr. knew some people that Lang also knows.
Eventually the conspirators use a field trip with a Scouts-style organization to keep Faraday's son Grant as an unknowing hostage.
Faraday rents a car the next day and follows the van his son is in, which eventually leads him to the FBI headquarters.
Lang causes Faraday to crash into Lang's van and begins to beat him up.
After getting into a fistfight with Oliver in an old building, Faraday tries to help him understand that killing hundreds of people won't make a difference, and that it won't bring back Faraday's wife.
When Oliver refuses to call off the bomb, Faraday has to stop it before it's too late.
Faraday forces his car into a secure parking garage of the FBI federal building, only to discover that he has followed the wrong van into the parking garage.
Attempting to calm Faraday, Whit informs him that he is the only person not cleared to be in the garage.
Realizing his mistake too late, Faraday rushes to the trunk of his rental car, opening it to reveal a hidden bomb just seconds before it explodes, killing Faraday, Whit, and 182 others.
Posthumously, Faraday is vilified as a lone terrorist who destroyed the FBI headquarters under the motive of seeking revenge for his wife's death.
The Langs and their conspirators (some of whom include the Scout taskmaster, a telephone maintenance man, and at least one of Faraday's students) completely get away with it.
Grant, now orphaned, ends up living with relatives, not knowing of his father's innocence.
After the Langs decide to move out of the neighborhood, Cheryl suggests to Oliver that they should go "someplace nice, someplace safe"... strongly implying that sooner or later they will strike another government target elsewhere, as well as find another fall guy to take the blame for their evil actions as they did with Arthur Scobee, and Michael Faraday who was just their latest victim. 
The local news station reports that the Bluth banana stand burned down.
To reveal how it happened, we flashback to a week earlier.
Michael visits his father at prison to ask the location of some papers so he can run the business.
George says, "There's always money in the banana stand," then asks Michael to give his about-to-be-released cellmate a job.
George Michael asks for more hours at the banana stand to escape his intense feelings for his cousin Maeby.
Michael promotes George Michael to manager.
Seeing Tobias, Lindsay and Gob still lazing on the couch, Michael asks whether they are attempting to find work.
Lindsay says her job is supporting her husband, so Michael, wanting to set an example, has his son hire Maeby as his banana stand employee.
Maeby spends her first day taking money from the register and, after George Michael explains that the cash in the register must match the number of bananas, throwing out bananas so the numbers will match.
Meanwhile, Michael visits his mother to ask about business records he needs.
She vaguely tells him they're in a storage unit, then asks Michael to give his brother Gob a job to make him feel important.
The next day, Tobias looks for acting work to his dismay.
Michael notices him despondent and points out a flyer advertising open auditions.
Tobias snatches it and Michael spots another flyer that gives him an idea.
He calls his mother and says the SEC wants to drop by and check if she recently bought any big ticket items with company money.
He then follows Luz, the maid, as she is sent to hide the evidence in the storage unit.
Meanwhile, Tobias has arranged an audition for a local "Fire Sale" commercial and Lindsay goes along for support.
Tobias bombs the audition (he acts as if there is an actual fire); Lindsay gets the role instead.
Michael arrives to find the storage unit in flames.
At home, Lindsay giddily informs Michael of her new acting role and Tobias tries to put on a brave face, then excuses himself to cry in the shower.
Michael confides to Lindsay that he thinks George Sr. is trying to run the company from prison, so he heads off to confront him.
On the way out, he gives Gob a very important job: mailing a letter to the insurance company (Gob later defiantly throws the letter into the sea).
Michael confronts George Sr. about the burned-down storage unit, telling him that he's not giving T-Bone a job and he won't let his father run the company from prison.
His father brushes him off, repeating that there's always money in the banana stand.
Michael informs him that George Michael is running the banana stand, and T-Bone goes to work with George Michael and Maeby at the stand.
Maeby and George Michael sneak off for dinner, where he begins to add up the numbers; he panics when he realizes his dad will obviously know they've been stealing money.
Maeby tells him to relax and just figure out what George Sr. would do in this situation.
Michael drops by the banana stand and sees T-Bone at the helm.
Michael asks T-Bone point blank if he burned down the storage unit and T-Bone readily admits to it.
Frustrated, Michael heads to the beach to think, Gob confronts him about being treated like a "goofball," Michael commiserates with Gob, telling him that George Sr. still treats him like an employee.
At that moment, Maeby calls Michael to inform him George Michael is about to do something irresponsible.
Michael arrives at the banana stand to find his son is preparing to burn down the stand.
George Michael admits that he screwed up the banana stand and apologizes profusely.
Michael realizes what he was doing to his son what his father did to him.
Thinking of an opportunity to take back some control, Michael tells him to light it up anyway.
Michael, George Michael and Gob watch as the banana stand burns.
Later, at prison, Michael gloats that he torched the banana stand and George should remember who's in charge now.
Irate, George Sr. tells his son that the walls of the stand were lined with $250,000 in cash, and demands to know how much more clearly he could have told him that "there's always money in the banana stand."
The company has a meeting with landowner Cal Cullen, who comments that the Bluths "did not come off well on last night's "Scandalmakers"."
(Clips from "Scandalmakers" are then shown, including Tobias, as George Sr., giving away his hiding place.)
Michael says that they are "scandal-free", at which point Lucille walks in drunk, having taken Buster's pain medication for a hangover and then misreading an alcohol warning as an alcohol suggestion.
Cullen refuses to do business with the Bluths, saying that he "couldn't afford to end up on "Scandalmakers"."
Lucille taunts Cullen by doing her "chicken dance" and passes out in her chair.
Cullen leaves in disgust and Michael ends the meeting.
Michael suggests to Lindsay that they hold an intervention for Lucille, but Lindsay resists, flashing back to another intervention the previous year.
The family had gotten drunk themselves out of fear, and by the time Lucille had arrived, they were too intoxicated to be effective, and it had turned into a party.
G.O.B.
appears and suggests rehab instead.
Michael asks where he was in the meeting, but he replies that he was off for spring break, even though his reputation has been ruined by "that jerk Phillip Litt" filming his seven flubs in a magic act.
Tobias appears and complains about being panned for his performance as George Sr. Maeby is ordered to find out how teenagers actually talk and then revise the dialogue in "The Young Man and the Beach".
Knowing that Lucille won't go to rehab willingly, Michael offers her a trip to a spa (which the Bluth Co. was offering as an incentive to homebuyers).
She cannot take Oscar, because his last pair of pants has fallen apart, so Michael promises to go with her instead.
Upon arriving, Lucille realizes that she is actually at a rehab facility and tries to flee, only to be subdued by the guards.
Kitty Sanchez finds George Sr. in the attic, clued in by Tobias's line in "Scandalmakers" ("Perhaps an attic shall I seek").
Angry about being abandoned in Mexico, she kidnaps him, blackmailing him with a "cooler of evidence."
Meanwhile, to get ideas for better dialogue, Maeby joins George Michael at the Banana Stand.
A Freudian slip by George Michael reveals his persistent feelings for her.
Phillip Litt is using the same area to film his video, "Girls With Low Self-Esteem", despite an ineffectual protest led by Lindsay.
Kitty takes George Sr. to a motel and screams that he owes her a child.
George Sr. yearns for Lucille, as does Buster, alone in his mother's condo.
Buster, unable to sleep, begins to drink from a large box of wine, mistaking it for a giant juicebox.
Michael meets with Cal Cullen again, and wins him over by pretending to have fond memories of "Sugarfoot", despite the fact that it was off the air before he was born.
However, Kitty interrupts, flashes her breasts, and threatens to "bring this corrupt company down" unless Lucille meets her in a certain bar.
While the family wonders how to get Lucille out of rehab and to the bar, Lindsay complains that her brothers (and Phillip Litt) objectify women.
She comes up with the idea for a competing video, "Men With Low Self-Esteem".
G.O.B.
uses Oscar to distract the guards so that they can abduct Lucille, pretending that they're going for new pants.
Kitty offers to trade her evidence for a sperm sample from George Sr., and Lucille puts it up to a drinking contest.G.O.B.
finds a cooler in the freezer that looks exactly like the evidence cooler, and he and Michael plan to switch it with the evidence, despite Michael's this to be an ineffective idea.
Maeby is frustrated by the immaturity of the teenagers at the Banana Stand.
Nearby, her parents try to film "Men With Low Self-Esteem", bringing them into competition with Phillip Litt.
When Litt accuses Lindsay of being ashamed of her body, Tobias pulls down Litt's pants, exposing him as a never nude.
Seeing this, Tobias takes off his own pants, revealing that he's "back into cutoffs.
"G.O.B., excited at the thought of spring break, performs a wolf call in the hotel hallway.
This inadvertently sets off a response by George Sr., allowing them to find his room.
G.O.B.
tries to vomit up the handcuff key, while Michael forges the signature of Saddam Hussein on the decoy cooler, promising to turn it in to the police.
George Sr. tells Michael to turn it in, saying that the evidence exonerates him.
George Michael finds Maeby talking to a vapid boy.
George Michael says that she is like a "delicate flower" and that he doesn't "want her to be plucked by someone who doesn't even care that is blossoming."
Maeby says that this is just what she wanted to hear (as dialogue for her movie), and kisses George Michael on the cheek.
Unbeknownst to Maeby, this reignites George Michael's feelings for her and he calls up Ann, saying that they need to talk, presumably intending to dump her.
Lucille wins the drinking contest, despite drinking extra between rounds.
G.O.B.
regains his self-confidence after the successful rescue of George Sr., but then falls into the pool while holding the cooler, destroying the exonerating evidence.
When Michael gets home, he finds out from Lucille that the decoy cooler that they left in Kitty's motel room contained a sperm sample from George Sr. 
A task force was formed to proceed with what was now a murder case and several leads were investigated, such as an ex-boyfriend of Karyn's as well as her ex-husband Michael.
An autopsy of Karyn's body showed that Karyn had been shot six times, once in the back of the head and an additional five times in the forehead, before being dismembered and the body parts placed in the plastic bags.
Police found several strands of dog hair on the duct tape and remnants of cinders and tall grass.
Swann was suspected of the crime as his alibi initially did not cover him for a forty minute period.
Investigators were also suspicious of several actions that Swann had performed during the initial search for Karyn and because he owned a handgun matching the type that had shot Karyn.
Swann participated with police during a search warrant and was eventually cleared of suspicion after footage from an ATM surveillance video cleared him for the missing 40 minutes of his alibi.
Alibis for other suspects such as Michael Jr and Karyn's ex-boyfriend also ruled them out as suspects.
A break in the case came in 1998, when police noticed broken concrete at Miracle Motors, a business owned by Karyn's ex-father-in-law Michael Slover Sr, were similar to concrete blocks used to weigh down Karyn's body.
A forensic geologist was brought in to see if anything on the Slovers' business matched evidence found at the scene of the crime.
The geologist found that not only was the concrete consistent with that found at Miracle Motors, but that evidence found in the abandoned car was also likely from Slover's business.
The task force sifted through dirt at Miracle Motors and eventually discovered a metal rivet and a plastic button that fit a pair of Paris Club jeans and a white shirt that Karyn had been wearing the day of her murder.
Police also reported finding bones at the scene, but these were not introduced to trial and were believed to have been animal meat bones that came from food fed to two dogs that Slover used to secure the property.
Police than began to suspect that Michael Slover Sr and his wife Jeannette had performed the murder over custody issues, as Karyn had expressed interest in moving away to pursue her modelling career and take her son Kolten with her.
Before arresting the Slovers the investigators had a veterinary geneticist perform a DNA analysis on the animal hairs found on the duct tape, which was matched to hairs retrieved from an animal brush that had been used on the dogs Slover kept on his business property.
The police used this evidence to arrest the Slovers, which would be later thrown out during an appeals process by the Slovers.
The Slovers, which included their son Michael Slover Jr, were all arrested with the charge of first degree murder, although Michael Sr and Michael Jr were both given the additional charge of attempting to conceal a crime.
