Has anyone tried to open merchandise that comes enclosed in a heavy
plastic wrap? It can drive a person insane, which is what happens to
Larry when he receives an electronic device that he tries to open, but
finds it impossible to do because, no matter what he uses, the damn
thing proves it can defeat most of us.
Loretta, who has a way to boss Larry around, has a doctor's appointment
she wants him to take her. He had made plans for playing golf, so he
asks her if she can't postpone it. She asks him to tell her what's more
important, her cancer, or his game? Larry thinks he has a possible
solution for getting out of the relationship with Loretta. He has
watched prominent female, Dr. Trundle, interviewed on television who
believes certain couples are bad for each other when one of the
partners has been struck with cancer. Larry wants Loretta to go see
this doctor.
When Larry meets for dinner with Jeff and Susan and Richard and his new
girlfriend, Beverly, at a restaurant, he is shocked to hear from his
manager about how this new woman performed fellatio on Lewis on their
way to dinner. Beverly who has been looking forward meeting Larry
offers him a sip from her drink, something that he refuses because of
what he has heard from Jeff. Not only that, when she wants to give him
a parting kiss, Larry goes a bit berserk. How dare she even think about
offering her drink, or even kissing Larry, after what she did to
Richard?
The visit to Dr. Trundle doesn't go well. Larry does everything to
appear to be he is totally wrong to be with Loretta. He wants the
doctor to come out and say the magic word. When Larry picks up the
picture on her desk, it shows the doctor and her husband, a
distinguished man with a head of white hair. The doctor asks Larry to
step out and wait outside. There he recognizes the doctor's husband,
but he is approached by Dean Weinstock, his old neighbor. Not knowing
whether to shake his hand, or give him a hug, he chooses the second
option and in doing so, he breaks the man's eyeglasses, which are
hanging from a neck strap. Dean feels it was Larry's fault his glasses
got broken and demands his old friend pay.
On the way to Dr. Trundle's lecture she wanted Loretta and Larry to
attend, he is surprised when he looks to a car on the highway traveling
to his left. It is Mr. Trundle, who cuts passes him and goes to the
right to the lane that Larry is driving. Larry and Loretta are shocked
when they watch Dr. Trundle's head goes up as it appears she had been
doing something to her husband in the car! Larry and Loretta decide to
forget the lecture. When Dr. Trundle sees Larry in the lobby of the
medical building, she wants to talk to him. Larry informs the doctor he
saw her practicing fellatio on the husband while driving! Nothing could
be so far fetched as she explains she dropped her cell phone and was
trying to retrieve it!
Richard Lewis, had come with Beverly to Larry's to have him apologize
to her. Larry confesses about hearing what she had done to Richard on
the way to the restaurant and Beverly gets angry at both of the men for
spreading rumors about her. That will be the end of Richard's
relationship with the beautiful Beverly. Richard, naturally, blames
Larry for the breakup.
Larry must find a device that can cut right through that annoying
plastic wrapping and buys a blade that will cut through anything at a
hardware store. There he meets Leon Black. Earlier Leon had told him
about how one of his friends is a big fan of Larry's. Leon evidently
has been fooling around with his wife. As Larry arrives to his house
later on, he is told by Leon to hide his friend's wife in his car.
Loretta, who comes in, not realizing what's going on, is horrified to
find a woman that appears to be giving Larry oral sex. Loretta packs up
and leaves.
As Larry goes to a party at Michael York's, he sees a car that got off
the road. To his total amazement, after stopping to help, he realizes
it's Jeff and Susie trapped inside the vehicle. For all appearances
they had an accident because Susie was performing fellatio on Jeff.
Susie, in desperation, asks Larry to get a knife to cut the seat belts.
He goes to his car and finds the special cutter he bought earlier, only
to find out it's wrapped in the heavy plastic wrapping he so much
hates!
Larry takes four different ideas to make his point. Sex in cars, hard
to deal with industrial packaging. Celebrity doctors with books about
stupid conclusions and how people greet one another. Vivica Fox shows
up as Loretta, the manipulating woman who uses her disease as a crutch
on Larry. Lolita Davidovich plays Beverly. Sharon Lawrence has some
excellent moments as Dr. Trundle. The regulars do their usual best.
Alec Berg directed this episode.
