- Larry receives a problematic gift from Freddy Funkhouser, causes trouble with Richard's new girlfriend, and offends one of Jeff's A-list clients.
- Larry finds his mother's mink stole in storage. Leon says that the stoles are making a comeback in the fashion industry. While overseeing preparations for the coffee shop, specifically the urinals, Ted Danson visits Larry to tell him he is now a financial backer for Mocha Joe's. Larry's cafe is named "Latte Larry's Up". Larry designs the urinals only, but no stalls and he wants nobody to defecate on his premises. Elsewhere, Freddy Funkhouser (Vince Vaughn) (Marty's half-brother) gifts Larry a sex doll which he does not intend to use. The doll was delivered to Larry by his mailman, who winks at Larry. Larry also gets Funkhauser's uncle Moke (Carmine Caridi) addicted to internet porn. Moke was browsing nude magazines at the newsstand and Larry sees him and introduces him to internet porn. Freddy tells Larry that Moke is addicted to the internet and wants him to do something about it.
Jeff has a new client, Clive Owen, whom Larry deeply offends when he gives 'insufficient praise' to his one-man show that he performed. Jeff and Larry attend Clive's show and are moved by watching people sob during the performance.
Larry is at lunch with Richard Lewis and his new girlfriend, Carol (Isla Fisher). Carol was feeling cold, and the side table won't allow for the heat lamp to be turned on as they are feeling too hot. Larry gifts her a stole (which was in his car after being dry cleaned) that belonged to his mother, after hearing a tragic story of how she lost her mother. However, he immediately learns that she is a 'professional crier' and believes he has been swindled. Larry asks Richard to get the stole back and Carol breaks up with him. Carol won't give the stole back to Larry.
Larry also gets a new housekeeper Matilda (Natasha Perez) from Susie, on condition that she visit Susie two set days a week. However, the housekeeper tells Larry that she would not work for Susie, as she intends to quit working for her, due to her foul-mouth, leaving Susie furious. Larry offers to do Susie's dishes and claims that his hands can stand hot, scalding water, which Jeff challenges. Clive comes to Jeff's house, and this is Larry's chance to make amends, instead he makes it far worse by suggesting that Clive is a bit crazy for even doing a 90 mins solo performance. Larry has a far more effusive praise for the sandwich served by Susie and that tells Clive that Larry is capable of praise, but just not for his work. Clive loses all confidence in his abilities.
Ted learns of the sex doll from Larry's mailman, and immediately goes to tell Cheryl.
Larry attempts to retrieve his stole from Carol, believing her story to be fake, and she angrily slaps him in the face. At Clive's next show, Larry has Jeff hire Carol to cry during the performance, thus encouraging others to cry, and restoring Clive's confidence. After the show, however, Larry attempts to get the stole back, and is led away by a police officer. Clive and Carol meet, and begin a relationship, which is short-lived when Clive discovers her profession, and they get into a fight in the street, which leads to her presumed death after being hit by a van.
Larry attempts to deflate the doll after discovering Leon has been using it but is caught in a compromising position with it by his housekeeper, and Cheryl. Larry gives it to Funkhouser's uncle, thus solving his internet porn problem. The maid goes back to work for Susie.
