2. Side Sitting

Complete story — includes the ending

Larry meets with his lawyer Roger to discuss the sexual harassment complaint from his assistant Alice. Larry asks to use his private bathroom, but is denied access. Larry has a cancer scare and is angry when his friends do not inquire about how his tests went. At lunch with Cheryl, Larry hopes to get back together, but she does not want to. For Susie's birthday, Larry gives her a painted portrait of herself that he had commissioned, which Susie adores and absolves Larry of the horrible things he has done to her. Larry goes on a date with Rita ( Teri Polo ), the lawyer's assistant, and video records their date as proof of no wrongdoings due to his current legal situation. At a dinner party at Susie's, the portrait gets accidentally tarnished which angers Susie, but Larry promises to fix it. At another meeting with his lawyer, Larry uses his private bathroom while his office is empty. When Roger arrives, he senses Larry used his bathroom and questions him. Larry meets with Alice at a restaurant and calms her concerns, but Alice becomes offended and leaves when he sits too close to her, to prove to Ted Danson that he "side sits with everyone," after Ted was previously made aware that Larry was "side sitting" with Cheryl. At a deposition and under oath, Roger uses the opportunity to question Larry about whether he used his bathroom or not.
