Apparently, Jeff (Jeff Garlin) will try to woo "The Office" co-creator as a client — something that David is obviously going to mess up somehow. (Who are Jeff's other clients anyway?)

Also, the action shifts to New York due to events that happen in the August 7 episode. In our recent interview with "Curb" writer David Mandel, he said the cause for the move to NYC is "grudge-related" or perhaps "grude-adjacent." Having seen the episode, we can further reveal that it is also guest star Michael McKean–related.
