- Larry offends some unusual trick or treat kids when he doesn't give them candy. They are teenagers who claim to be 13 years old, but look like 16 years old, and are not in costume. By doing so, he sees the "trick" side of Halloween. They TP their place. Larry calls in the police, who advise him to fork out the candy next time, but Larry is loath to relent. Larry claims that the girls writing "Bald Asshole" on his door constitutes a hate crime, since bald men are a minority community in the USA.
Larry also alienates Cheryl's screenwriter friend Cliff (Christopher Thornton) (who is also a cripple and uses a wheelchair). Larry makes a few substitutions on his Cob salad at lunch, and this offends Cliff as he claims that his grandfather invented the Cobb salad. He says the salad was invented in the Drake hotel in Chicago. After they finish dinner, Larry, Cheryl, Cliff and his wife Shelly go to watch a movie, which Cliff has written. While waiting outside Larry also offends a Hebrew neighbor Walter, when Larry is whistling a song, which he says was written by a famous antisemitic named Wagner. Larry is labeled as a self-loathing Hebrew. The neighbor claims that the millions of Hebrews were taken to concentration camps while Wagner's tunes played in the background.
Cheryl was too much interested in Cliff & this made Larry make a couple of inappropriate comments to Cliff's wife Shelly such as "we should have sex", to which she says yes. Also, through the night, Cliff's wife mistakes Larry's gestures as advances towards her. During dinner, Larry extends his arm over the chair, and it extends over Shelly's shoulders giving her the impression that he is trying to put his arm around her. During the movie Larry and Shelly sit next to each other and their thighs touch. Cheryl notices that Larry yawned during the movie and tells Wanda about it.
Shelly is also a jewelry designer & is helping Larry make a new bracelet for Cheryl's upcoming birthday. The next day Shelly calls and wants to go on a date with Larry, who tells her it was all an innocent mistake. Shelly is angry & hangs up (the bracelet is uncertain). Larry has his secretary research the origins of the Cobb Salad, who tells her it was invented in Hollywood. Larry now has proof that Cliff lied to him.
Larry meets Jeff and tells him that the project with Jason is off (as he won't drive to Larry's office). Jeff suggests that Larry pitches the exact same show to Julia. Jeff wants to play golf with Larry the next day, even though Larry knows that it is Cheryl's birthday. Larry then goes over to Shelly's house to pick up the bracelet, but ends up fighting with Cliff, who accuses him of coveting his wife. Larry hits back by saying that Cliff's grandfather never invented the Cobb salad. This makes Cliff furious, and he chases Larry out of his house.
Driving back to his house, Larry sees one of the teenagers & finds that she is the daughter of the Hebrew man who was offended by Larry's whistling the other day. Larry also spoils his romantic anniversary present. Since Larry couldn't get the bracelet, he arranged for a string quartet to perform in his living room. This is when Jeff shows up to play a round of golf as Larry forgot to cancel his plans. Larry then uses the quartet to play the German themed music, in the dead of night, on the Hebrew neighbor's front porch.
