- Larry kicks off the new year with new rival Mocha Joe; at a cocktail party hosted by Jeff and Susie, Larry gets roped into lunch plans and has a misunderstanding with a caterer.
- [HBO] HD. 'Happy New Year.' Season Ten Premiere. Larry makes a new enemy and gets into hot water at a cocktail party.
- Larry (Larry David) meets Susie's (Susie Essman) friend Randy at a gym, who is 8 months pregnant and objects when she is jogging, saying that she is jostling the fetus. In the locker room, he finds a guy applying talcum powder. Later Leon (J.B. Smoove) also encourages Larry to start using talcum powder.
Larry and Leon go to Mocha Joe's (Saverio Guerra). Joe has a new shopfront in an upmarket location and Larry complains about a wobbly table, cold coffee, and the softness of the scones. Larry is then banned from the coffee shop by Mocha Joe. Richard decides to boycott Mocha Joe as well.
At a dinner party at Jeff (Jeff Garlin) and Susie's, Jeff is commonly mistaken for Harvey Weinstein by various women and receives dirty looks. Larry accidentally touches a server's breast when trying to grab food from the tray. The server was avoiding Larry all night as she thought Larry was ogling her breasts, but Larry was hungry and was ogling the food. Larry and Cheryl perform a skit together to entertain the guests and make everybody laugh. They have great chemistry between them.
Phil Rosenthal bores the heck out of Larry talking about his upcoming overseas productions. Larry avoids Phil the entire evening, but just before leaving he does the Big Goodbye bit for Phil. Phil recognizes the same and asks Larry to have lunch with him. With Ted Danson (Ted Danson) having left early to catch a flight, Larry offers to drive Cheryl (Cheryl Hines) home, and they kiss in the car and end up sleeping together.
After getting the idea from Jeff, Larry wears a Make America Great Again hat to get out of having lunch with Philip (Phil Rosenthal). Larry believes that if he is seen as a Trump supporter, good people will want nothing to do with him. This works as Phil is embarrassed to be seen with Larry and cannot wait to run out of the restaurant.
Larry sees Richard go into Mocha Joe's for a coffee, despite his promise to boycott the place.
The server from the dinner party calls Larry's office and talks with his assistant Alice (Megan Ferguson) about the incident. Alice is already uncomfortable with Larry as Larry commented on her tattoo and even asked her why it was not on her rear end. Larry also attempted to clean his glasses with the fabric of the shirt that Alice was wearing. This according to Alice, was crossing a boundary. Alice comes into Larry's office to complain, and finds Larry with the Trump hat, talking to Jeff (whom she mistakes as Harry Weinstein) and impersonating Trump "you can grab them by the p***y" and decides to sue.
In an act of spite Larry leases the location next to Mocha Joe's and tells Joe that he'll be opening a coffee shop as well, but everything will be cheaper.
Cheryl has an allergic reaction to Larry's talcum powder while having sex and winds up in the hospital. Cheryl had earlier surprised Larry with a booty call while he was exercising. So, Larry borrowed Leon's talcum to absorb his sweat.
Susie figures out Larry & Cheryl's secret and Larry bolts from the hospital when he learns Ted has returned.
