Complete story — includes the ending

Larry and Jeff have a meeting at Hulu regarding Young Larry. Talking about casting, the Hulu executive recommends Ted Danson for the role of Uncle Mo. They also ask Larry for an audition tape for Maria Sofia. Larry asks Cheryl to give Maria Sofia acting lessons and to record an audition tape. At a dinner party at Jeff and Susie's, Larry talks with Freddy Funkhouser, who has bought a hotel and Larry tells him he wants to curate the minibar. At dinner, Larry's cousin Andy and his wife Cassie sit at the middle of table, which causes problems because they are at the center of attention, boring everyone with their conversation. Eventually, Larry and Freddy take over the middle seats and the rest of the dinner party goes smoothly. They talk about taking the advice from someone who has stage 4 cancer and the wisdom they would have. Cheryl tries to film an audition tape for Maria Sofia, but it goes terribly due to Maria Sofia having no acting skills. Larry goes shopping for the minibar and presents it to Freddy and his associates, but they do not like it. Larry and Jeff go to see Marcos at his restaurant, where Jeff pretends to have stage 4 cancer and offers advice to Marcos to not let her daughter become an actor, which he takes. Maria Sofia sees Cheryl again and Maria thinks Cheryl has stolen her jacket after giving her a compliment on it prior. Maria uses this rage while doing a scene and gets into an altercation with her and Ted, all while the camera is still filming. The Hulu executives see the tape and think it is hilarious and cast her in the show.
