Jeff
gets a job as Cybill’s stunt double and ends up getting fired. He
later admits to Ira that he was too scared to do the stunt, and
is determine to find a job doing something else. Cybill is so desperate
to get Jeff to move out of the house that she tracks down Jeff ’s
mentor, Stitch Sullivan, in hopes that he will be able to help Jeff
overcome his fears. Stitch reminds Jeff of the one and only reason
any guy becomes a stunt man: "world class Hollywood nookie." Almost
instantly Jeff is back on the job. However, Jeff has another case
of the jitters on his next job, a film directed by Peter Bogdanovich.
Cybill tries to lend Jeff some moral support. When that doesn’t
work, she starts telling him everything she hated about him when
they were married. Within seconds, Jeff jumps off the balcony, completing
the stunt in perfect form. The director is thrilled; that is, until
he learns that none of the cameramen got it on film because Maryann
has the whole crew engrossed in the proceedings of "the trial of
the century" on the monitor. Consequently, Jeff is forced to do
the stunt again and ends up breaking a few bones the next time around.
