Such genius.
Yeah, they set up jokes like three episodes in advance. Pretty brilliant that way. A few favorites:

Doctor: "It looks like he's dead."
Everyone: gasps
Michael: "Sorry, looks like he's dead, or is dead?"
Doctor: "No, just looks like he's dead."

Doctor: "I'm afraid it's far too late for me to do anything to help you.
Everyone: gasps
Michael: "Let him finish."
Doctor: "Because you've been transferred to another doctor.

Lucille (about Lucille 2): "That BITCH!"
Michael: "Mom, you're not at home, and she's not next door when you're here."
-and then later in the same episode, at her apartment-
Lucille: "That BITCH!"
And then she gives Michael the most self-satisfied and smug smile. Brilliant moment.

And I love it when she makes 'quote' gestures while holding her martini glass. She's possibly my favorite of the family characters.
