- Larry's Fatwa is revoked, and his musical is back on, but only if Lin-Manuel Miranda is involved. At a dinner party at Larry's house, the oyster Shucker (Steven Weber) overhears Larry say he fell asleep during Hamilton (The show in which Lin performs in LA). Larry is afraid that the Shucker will blab about Larry's comments all over town and the news might reach Lin in some way. In his exchange for his silence, the Shucker demands 2 tickets to Hamilton. The Shucker directly threatens that Lin would find out that Larry fell asleep during his show.
Larry and Jeff meet with Lin to discuss the musical, and Larry ends up giving in to all of Lin's creative demands. Jeff is surprised that Larry gave in to everything without a single peep. Lin wants to do the show in LA and not Broadway. Lin gets tickets for Larry, but only after Larry says they're for him, after originally requesting tickets for his Shucker. Lin had said he could not get the tickets for the Shucker but would get them if Larry himself wanted to go. Larry takes the tickets.
Jeff begins wearing the cowboy hat that the Shucker left at Larry's house, which turns Susie on. Jeff says that all Susie wants to do is to have sex, and Jeff has to keep the hat on, while they are having it. Jeff returns the hat to Larry as he cannot handle Susie anymore. After Larry gives back the hat to the Shucker, Susie spots him with the hat on, and they later have a short affair.
Larry figures that he has ceded creative control to Lin-Manuel as he sits behind a high desk and has a "deference" authority because of it. Jeff and Larry decide to get Lin out from behind the desk. Lin wants to rewrite all of Larry's songs. Lin wants to rap with Larry's songs. Larry hurts his shoulder while trying to wrestle Lin-Manuel for control of the desk and Lin threw Larry to the ground.
Larry gives the tickets to the Shucker. Lin calls Larry to say that he is in the show and now they will be working together all the time. Lin tells Larry he'll be sitting next to his wife at the show, so he'll know if Larry is there or not. Larry asks the Shucker to give him the tickets back, and he only agrees to sell them back to Larry for $2500. Larry has to pay.
The previous owner of Larry's house, Mrs. Shapiro (Carol Herman), begins reappearing at the house, much to Larry's annoyance, and ends up stealing a dying plant. Mrs Shapiro says that she had left the Ficus plant with Larry in good faith, and now it is all dried up and wilting. Mrs Shapiro uses her own key to enter the house, and water the plant. She was able to use her key as Larry never changed the locks. Larry and Mrs. Shapiro go on Judge Judy, but Larry loses the case because now the plant is in much better condition.
Larry learns that Bridget has been telling intimate details about her previous relationships. Larry also realizes that Cheryl has told intimate details about her time with Larry to Ted, and God knows who else. Larry tries to make Bridget sign a non-disclosure agreement while in bed. This doesn't go well, and Bridget breaks up with him.
At the Hamilton performance, Larry ends up falling asleep next to Lin's wife Vanessa, after taking some pain pills for his shoulder that he got from Jeff. Jeff had to get the pills because his penis was hurting from having sex with Susie.
