Larry realizes Madame Pirouzi sent him on a wild goose chase. He gets released, finds the real woman, apologizes sincerely. She laughs. “I don’t remember you at all.” Larry’s parking curse lifts immediately.

Larry is at a backyard barbecue hosted by his friend, Richard Lewis. He’s handed a slice of watermelon. It’s dripping. He looks for a napkin. None. He uses a decorative hand towel from a nearby table. The hostess, Richard’s new girlfriend, Brenda, screams: “That’s a vintage Irish linen!” Larry shrugs. “Then don’t put it next to the fruit.” Susie screams, “You got a tattoo of the towel

Meanwhile, Ted Danson finds out about the signed napkin. He’s furious. He claims the napkin was a gift to Larry, not for profit. Ted puts a curse on Larry: “Every time you lie, your left shoe will untie.” It works. Chaos ensues at a Dodgers game.

The crowd turns on Larry. Even the corpse’s brother throws a yarmulke at him. Larry storms out, trips over the blind dog, and lands in the grave (shallow—symbolic). The episode ends with Larry at the bottom, looking up, saying, “Alright, which one of you didn’t fill the hole?” But Moe is also there—hired by the widow to cry loudly

Silence.
