Complete story — includes the ending

Larry and Jeff consider Woody Harrelson for the Uncle Mo role in Young Larry. Susie asks Larry and Jeff to take their rabbi golfing as a favor. While golfing, Larry loses a bet to the rabbi and is forced to go to temple. Larry discovers that Leon is embarrassed to eat watermelon in front of him, due to the stereotype. Woody, who is an animal rights activist, has a meeting at Larry's house and questions him about his coffee cream. Larry tells him he owns a farm and gets it directly from his cow and Woody requests to visit his farm. Larry has an appointment with Freddy's optometrist girlfriend Heidi, during which he is surprised and disappointed when he sees her drop a piece of Pirate's Booty snack on the ground and intentionally not pick it up. Larry leaves the appointment with blurry eyes after having them dilated and bumps into a Klansman, Joe, spilling coffee on his robe. Larry takes the robe to a Jewish dry cleaner, which he originally refuses to clean but accepts it due to Larry saying they should not discriminate. At temple, Larry tells Freddy about what happened with Heidi. After the service, the rabbi gives Larry the shofar as a gift. Larry returns to the dry cleaners and discovers they have lost the robe (presumably on purpose). Larry visits Joe at his home and tells him he will replace the robe. Larry sees Joe lives on farmland with cows and asks him for a favor. Since Larry did Susie a favor, he asks her to sew a new robe, to which she eventually begrudgingly agrees. Larry takes Woody to Joe's farm pretending it to be his own. Upon leaving, Woody drops a grape on Joe's front porch and does not pick it up which causes an argument and Woody quits Larry's show. At lunch, Freddy questions Heidi about the incident and she storms off. At the optometrist, Heidi angrily confronts Larry and slams the phoropter against his eyes. Larry, with blurry vision again, rear-ends a woman with his car and learns her name is Mary Ferguson. Larry takes Mary to his house and they walk in on Leon and his friend eating watermelon, which she reacts to by leaving. At a rally, Joe puts on his new robe, sewn by Susie, but is attacked by other members when they see it has the Star of David sewn on the back. Joe angrily goes to Larry's at night to confront him, but Larry scares Joe away by blowing the shofar, causing the entire neighborhood to wake up.
