- Cheryl gives Larry an ultimatum - bury the wire in the backyard - or else! But the permit the city gives Larry requires six signatures from his neighbors, and that means having to be nice to them at all costs - or else.
- Jeff sponsors a kid to go to summer camp, who sets fire to the canteen & to his own cabin. The camp wants Jeff to pay $17000 in damages.
Cheryl gives Larry an ultimatum - bury the wire in the backyard (as it is ruining the view from her backyard) - or else! But the permit the city gives Larry requires six signatures from his neighbors, and that means having to be nice to them at all costs - or else. 5 neighbors have signed on, but 1 hasn't and they want to meet the David's first. The last remaining neighbors meet the Davids. They hear Jeff's camping message on David's answering machine. Since the husband Dean (Wayne Federman) is a lawyer, he offers to help Jeff. The wife (Phyllis (Lucy Webb)) says that Dean is a big fan of Julia Louise Dryfus. Dean expresses a desire to meet her (at their own home) when she visits the Davids next. Dean had indicated that he will not sign the papers unless he gets the meeting with Julia. Larry is furious. He would rather move than call Julia for this favor. Cheryl says Julia will perhaps not mind and it would make her house perfect.
Jeff tells Larry that Dean is not a competent lawyer. Larry wants Jeff to stick with Dean since Larry wants to get rid of the wire in his backyard. Jeff also tells Larry that the kid doesn't want to go home early from camp & expressed a desire to stay at Jeff's for a couple of days. Larry advises against that.
Larry makes the call to Julia to agrees to go to his neighbor's house, but when they visit (after making an appointment with Dean), the wife's (Phyllis) cat has died & she is inconsolable. Julia had to go in 10 mins, but the wife simply won't let her. Dean is not even home, as he is with Jeff. Dean had told Phyllis that he is 25 minutes away and not to let Julia leave. Larry calls Jeff after 15 minutes to find that Dean is still with him. Meanwhile Julia finds that Phyllis is an antique jewelry collector & finds a bracelet that she loves & buys it from Phyllis. The bracelet is very similar to the one Larry wanted to buy for Cheryl.
Larry has lost has pad, where he writes his ideas. He thinks he left it at Julia's. He calls her late, goes over to her house, searches the kitchen & the office & messes stuff up and wakes her kid. He is kicked out of her house. The episode argues whether 10 pm is the cut off time for late night calls. Cheryl and Jeff say it is 10 pm, while Larry thought it was 10:30 pm. Julia argues that the cut off is 9:30 pm.
Meanwhile the kid that Jeff let into his house, has stolen everything & now Jeff's wife is hysterical and blames Larry for setting them up with Dean.
Cheryl has bought the same bracelet (that Larry wanted to buy for her), from a jewelry store and gives it to Larry, who drops it in the key holder. Now Julia comes over and says that her bracelet is missing & finds it sitting in Larry's key holder. Now Dean comes over & Julia tears him apart for not keeping the appointment with her at their last meeting & walks out.
Dean refuses to consider that as a meeting with Julia. Larry is about to kick him out, when Dean produces Larry's pad, and asks for the $500 reward which was written on the pad, for returning the pad to Larry. Larry gives the $500 to Dean, & the wire stays.
