- In the third season finale, Bobo's Restaurant is two days away from being scheduled to open. Larry discovers that the head chef was hired under false pretenses for pretending to be bald. The chef wears a toupee to hide his baldness. Larry finds him with a toupee shopping at a supermarket. After firing the chef, Larry and Jeff scramble to find a replacement. Ted Danson has pulled out as an investor and Larry has already covered his share of the investment.
Andy is LA's most influential food critic and is coming to the opening of the restaurant to review it. Larry knows that Andy's son goes to the same school as Jeff's daughter. Larry goes with Jeff to Sammi's school to drop off her lunch. Larry observes a senior class of boys, all with their heads shaven, to show solidarity with a student who lost all his hair due to chemotherapy. During the process, Larry accidentally injures Andy Portico. Larry meets Andy in the playground of the school & gets challenged to a game of dodge-ball. Andy was playing aggressively with the kids and this irked Larry, who in turn plays aggressively with Andy. He breaks Andy's thumbs when he throws the ball really hard at him.
The investors of the restaurant want Larry to apologize to Andy, which he agrees to. Andy cannot review the restaurant as he can't do his thumbs up or thumbs down gig on TV. The food critic recommends a chef Guy Bernier (Paul Sand) from New York, who turns out to have a rather interesting quirk Tourette syndrome (speaks out obscenities uncontrollably). As a thank you, Larry insists on feeding Andy's lunch to him, as his hands are bandaged. Larry only ends up spilling the entire lunch on Andy's clothes.
When the investors find out about the new chef's disability, they think Andy did this on purpose to extract revenge on Larry. Larry vetoes the vote on firing the new chef, as he thinks Guy is a holocaust survivor. Guy had a number tattooed on his arm, just like holocaust survivors used to have.
Susie has canceled on Cheryl quite a few times in the recent past. Cheryl wanted to be on time for lunch, but Larry insists on going to a car wash, where the car gets stuck. Cheryl has to pee. Cheryl gets out while the car is still being soaked, with disastrous results. Cheryl has a tense confrontation with Susie after she bails on lunch after getting stuck in a car wash. Susie believes that this is lame excuse and Cheryl deliberately stood her up for canceling on her on the previous occasions.
Cheryl and Larry's 10th wedding anniversary is coming up. Cheryl wants to renew her wedding vows in a proper ceremony. Larry agrees. Larry also remembers that 10 years ago Cheryl promised him that he could sleep with someone else as his 10th anniversary present. In the present, Cheryl says that if Larry can have sex with someone else, he should do it. She does not believe that Larry is capable of it. Cheryl gives Larry until the anniversary to claim his present.
At the opening, Larry realizes that the number written on the chef's arm, which led him to believe that the chef was a holocaust survivor, was only a lottery number. All is well, until Guy utters a string of obscenities & the place goes quiet. To avert disaster, Larry starts screaming obscenities, remembering the bald pledge scene from Sammi's school. Soon, the other patrons join in & it turns out to be a great night.
