Complete story — includes the ending

Jeff and Susie get back together after Jeff finds out that she is pregnant, which he reveals to Larry on the condition that he doesn't tell anyone. Larry inadvertently gets a restaurant investor's nanny ( Cheri Oteri )—who used to work at Six Flags Magic Mountain Looney Tunes Lodge, where she heard the Looney Tunes theme repeatedly every day—fired when he convinces her to let him use the investor's private bathroom, which was made off-limits to guests. At Larry's recommendation, Susie employs the nanny, after she is complicated by the nanny with her baby, realizing Jeff told Larry and did not keep it a secret, as she had asked. She decides to let this go, and welcomes the nanny into their house, where she attacks Susie after hearing the Looney Tunes theme, and she pushes Susie off the balcony, but she breaks her fall from 12 sponge cakes that were given to her by Larry. Richard tries to get his claimed original phrase "The ___ from hell " into the book of Bartlett's Familiar Quotations, with the help of Larry, but Larry proves to be a hindrance instead by remarking to the publisher that his four-year-old son has a large penis, ending Larry and the publisher's relationship and ruining Richard's chance at fame.
