Despite Artie's (Rip Torn) pleas to Larry (Garry Shandling) to ignore a scathing and personal review from critic Tom Shales, the embittered host's subsequent rebuttal sparks a press-fueled war of words between Larry and Shales. When an obscene fax meant for Shales instead finds its way to Hank, the overly sensitive sidekick assumes it was meant for him and decided to quit the show. Before he leaves, however, Hank warns guest Sally Field not to fall victim to Larry's deceptive charm.
