In this George Burditt story, Larry is uncharacteristically shy around Terri, maybe because he's not usually attracted to intelligent women.  He wants Jack's help even though

1. Jack has had to make Janet settle for a home-cooked dinner rather than a night out at Doctor Zhivago;
2. Jack is dead tired from a late date the previous night;
3. and Larry has to give Mr. Furley a lot of money to take Janet out as a distraction.

Jack reluctantly consents, to help his best friend and to have his own date with Greedy Gretchen (Teresa Ganzel, in a role she'd reprise on Three's a Crowd, and one that would be referred to in her absence).  Of course Janet and Mr. Furley end up at the same restaurant where Jack is feeding lines to Larry from the next booth.  If I recall correctly, Larry's crush on Terri would continue, despite her lack of interest.
