Larry gets caught in the middle of a feud between Paul (Paul Reiser) and Mindy Reiser (Linda Bates) and Susan and Stu Braudy. The 2 couples don't like each other & Davids are friends with both. Larry & Cheryl go to a restaurant to have dinner with Stu and Susan and run into Paul & Mindy. While Larry chats with Paul but doesn't greet or even look at Mindy the whole time. Cheryl points it out to Larry later and he feels bad about ignoring Mindy. Mindy owns a perfume shop in the city. Stu has a habit of going to the bathroom whenever the check comes. Thus, Larry has paid the last 2 times they had dinner together. Stu and Susan are holding a benefit for the NRDC at their house. Again, the check comes and Stu goes off to the bathroom, forcing Larry to pay for the dinner.

Wanda Sykes unknowingly starts a rumor about a terrorist attack when she tells Larry about it. She says the attack will be in L.A. the weekend they will be attending an NRDC benefit, hosted by their friend Stu (Don Stark) and Susan Braudy (Amy Aquino), with Alanis Morrissette (Alanis Morissette) (a famous singer). Wanda says that she is going to Vegas for the weekend. Cheryl doesn't want to leave LA as she has worked on the benefit for months and it was her idea in the first place. Larry asks Cheryl to postpone the benefit. Larry asks Cheryl if he could leave LA and Cheryl is angry. Cheryl feels that if they are going to die, they should die together.

Larry goes to Mindy's perfume shop & tells her about the impending attack. She thanks Larry for the info and praises his decision to stay behind to support the NRDC. Mindy admits that she really misjudged Larry. Mindy gives lot of perfume samples to Larry as a thanks.

When people skip town because of the rumors, the benefit is canceled, and the blame is placed squarely on Larry. The Braudy's are super angry as the rumor spread from Mindy and Mindy was told by Larry. The Braudy's say that time after time Mindy has betrayed them, which is why they don't talk to the Reiser's anymore. They are also not happy that the Davids did not chose to tell them about the attack. Larry retaliates by saying that Stu never picks up the checks for dinner. The Braudy's throw them out.

More than half of LA is angry at Larry, including his secretary Antoinette and his janitor, as he didn't tell them directly about the attack. Wanda even comes over to Larry's office to have a word with him. Plus, Mindy is angry at Larry as the attack never took place & she says that it was huge inconvenience for her to leave town. She had to drive 3 hours to get to the hotel with her dogs and cats and they didn't get the four seasons, and had to stay in a sloppier hotel. Larry insinuates that Mindy was a blabbermouth who spread the rumors.

Larry & Cheryl end up doing the NRDC benefit at their house. They invite Paul & Mindy, but not the Braudy's. The Braudy's are so angry that they drive really fast towards Larry's house & end up crashing their car into Alanis's, who is scheduled to be singing at the benefit. She has to sing with a neck brace, which ruins the evening.
