Summaries

  • Larry drops the ball when he gets the chance to make amends with his assistant Alice. Larry and Richard go to extreme lengths for their upcoming lunch date.
  • [HBO] HD. 'Artificial Fruit.' (Season Ten) Larry gets the chance to clear the air with Alice.

Synopsis

  • Larry hires a former New York pastry chef Chulu (William Stanford Davis) for his coffee shop and has him make scones that Larry gives to his friends to taste. Most of his friends don't like the scones and find it too dry and mealy.

    At a meeting with his lawyer, Larry is told he needs to donate, as well as make a speech for Survivors United, a charity for survivors of sexual assault, in order to make amends with Alice and to make the sexual harassment suit go away. Larry eats an apple in Roger's office and Roger thinks Larry is not taking this seriously.

    Larry is also angry with a new trend that no-one lets him use their garbage cans, which they like to be clean and pretty. Cousin Andy's wife is a supporter of Survivor's United, and she is amazed that Larry made a large donation to it, when Larry indicates that it had to do with her support for the charity. She asks Larry to create a doodle for auction and Larry creates something rubbish. Andy's wife is so disgusted by it that she throws it in the garbage.

    Larry and Richard Lewis argue over who will pay the bill for lunch; each of them wanting to pay themselves. Larry goes to the restaurant one day ahead to get them to keep his credit card for the next day's meal, as Richard would do the same thing very early the next day. The restaurant refuses to accept the card as it is too much responsibility for 24 hrs. Larry wants to give it to his regular waiter Francisco (Esai Morales), who is off for the funeral service of his dead auntie. Larry shows up at the funeral, followed by Richard and both end up fighting over whose card Francisco would accept. Richard pays the bill the next day. But Francisco is not there back at work and Larry doesn't get his card back.

    Larry and Leon both have incidents involving artificial fruit where they chip a tooth. A few days later a $1000 of Spanish food is ordered on Larry's card and he thinks it is Francisco making transactions on his credit card. Larry confronts Francisco at his aunt's memorial service and Francisco thinks Larry is mocking him, but that's because of the chipped tooth. Larry is thrown out.

    The charity event is hosted by Laverne Cox. Larry makes her uncomfortable by asking if a penis can be donated for a person transitioning to be a man, or if a colored penis can be donated to a white person transitioning to be a man. Larry rejects a hug from her on stage because he was previously made aware from her that she has a cold. The audience, including Alice, takes it the wrong way that Larry is averse to hugging colored people and boos him. At the same event, Larry gets into a huge argument with other doodlers and insinuates that they had professionals create their doodles for auction and there was no way any of them would have created a Picasso quality "doodle" in 20-30 mins as they claimed.

    Alice now wants a personal monetary settlement as well. Before the meeting, Larry and Alice wait for the elevator and Larry offers Alice a scone, but it's too dry and Alice starts to choke. Larry begins to perform the Heimlich maneuver but hesitates because he doesn't know if it's appropriate to touch her and she falls to the ground.
