With Paul (Paul Reiser) busily working on his latest documentary film, Jamie (Helen Hunt) is saddled with the responsibility of trick-or-treating with the couple's seven-year-old nephew. What was supposed to be a two-hour assignment drags on and on, threatening to continue until next Halloween. Talia Balsam makes her only appearance as Paul's sister Debbie (a role thereafter filled by Robin Bartlett), while future Drew Carey Show regular Ryan Stiles appears as a "video guy" who imposes Draconian late charges.
