5. The Terrorist Attack

Complete story — includes the ending

Larry is caught in the middle of a feud between Paul and Mindy Reiser and Susan and Stu Braudy ( Amy Aquino, Don Stark ), with the latter being offended after he suggests that the money they make is Stu's money and not Susan's, as Susan is unemployed. Wanda tells Larry and Cheryl that – according to a well-connected acquaintance of hers – there will be a terrorist attack in L.A. during the weekend they will be holding an NRDC benefit with Alanis Morissette. She warns them that they are not supposed to tell anyone to avoid a panic, but Larry tells Mindy in order to smooth over the discord between them. A grateful Mindy tells people about it. Several people who are told about it leave the city for the weekend, but no attack occurs. Those who were told about the attack blame Larry for ruining their weekend plans, those who were not told are angered at Larry for allowing their lives to be in danger, and Wanda is angry with Larry for breaking confidentiality.
