2. The Benadryl Brownie

Complete story — includes the ending

The reception on Larry's first call on his new cell phone cuts out, leading to his wife Cheryl not hearing from him that their friend Richard Lewis' new Christian Scientist girlfriend, Deborah, has a nut allergy. The Davids hire the chef of the restaurant, which Larry and Jeff are investing in, to cater their dinner party, and Richard and Deborah attend. Deborah is taken to the hospital after an allergic reaction to the nuts in brownies, which Jeff's wife Susie made, but she refuses medication because of her religious beliefs. Larry puts Benadryl in a batch of brownies made by Cheryl, and he gives them to Deborah, who refuses them after one bite because of their suspicious taste. Larry fires Mike, his electronics expert, because he neglected to consolidate his remotes into one universal remote, and the television is not working. Mike and Cheryl's friend, Wanda, both claim the firing is racially motivated because Mike is black, and Larry is labeled as a racist in public.
