The previous episode concluded with Kenny Funkhouser's time with a prostitute being cut short by the security guard Leon hired to protect Larry from the Fatwa. In this episode we learn Kenny has died, which Larry amusingly is unfazed by, even though he indirectly caused his death. Larry's conversations with Tim Whatley aka Dr. Templeton are the highlight of this episode, ranging from truffles to chair shopping. The climax has panicked funeral-goers trampling Kenny's portrait, hilariously mirroring the way he died in the episode's funniest moment. This should have been the end, and I was surprised to not hear the classic theme start playing with Larry standing there having ruined everything. Instead it is followed by an odd scene with Jeff and Susie, unsatisfyingly tying up their storyline, and a scene with Larry and Dr. Templeton finally doing their chair shopping, in what could have been a funny moment, but instead feels awkward and forced. Overall a very funny episode with a few parts feeling slightly unnecessary or disjointed.

Curb is still funny, but these story lines are absolutely terrible at the moment. Usually the season long-arc has some developments, but it looks like we're just going to hear Larry shout, "Fatwa!" every week and that is that.

Leon has been weak this season, but he had the best line of the night with, "You told me to leave, you didn't say I couldn't come back."

Ted, Richard and Marty always deliver, but so far this was the weakest of the season.
