10. The Grand Opening

Complete story — includes the ending

With the restaurant opening imminent, Larry fires the chef after finding out he wears a toupee. Later, at a dodgeball game, he accidentally breaks the thumbs of Andy Portico (Paul Wilson), a food critic. When he goes to apologize to Andy, Larry receives a recommendation from him to hire a new chef ( Paul Sand ) for the restaurant, who was recently fired from another restaurant. Larry agrees, and while introducing him to the staff, they find that he has Tourette syndrome, causing him to swear aggressive profanities. Meanwhile, Cheryl and David are trapped in a malfunctioning car wash, forcing Cheryl to run through the car wash to reach the bathroom, as well as cancel her lunch plans with Susie, who has repeatedly canceled on her throughout the year. Susie finds her story preposterous and thinks she canceled as revenge, and she tells Jeff to find out the truth from Larry, who insists they are not lying. On opening day, the chef, in an open kitchen, swears loudly, silencing the room. Remembering his vow from earlier in the day to do something good for another person in his lifetime, Larry, along with the other investors, throw out swears of their own in an expression of solidarity, and the restaurant patrons join in, helping make the opening a success. During this, Susie shows up, sees Cheryl, and curses her out, leaving Cheryl speechless.
