In the next episode of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Larry David, who plays himself on the show, heads to a therapist played by Bryan Cranston ("Breaking Bad," "Malcolm in the Middle"), who diagnoses him of overstepping.

The trailer for the upcoming installment titled "Running with the Bulls" was just released recently and showed David in his therapist's office in the middle of a session. "I think this is a breakthrough," his doctor said with certainty. However, David replied smugly, "No, it's not a breakthrough. Writing down 'breakthrough' is just a waste of everybody's time. The whole pad, you might as well throw it. It does nothing I bet." The therapist looked at him in frustration and apparently accused David for overstepping his boundaries. It is evident that David likes to go over the line and provoke people around him.

In another scene, David demonstrated his overstepping by telling a sobbing woman at a funeral, "Hey, come on. It's way too loud. Just whimper. Whimper." The distraught woman still could not stop herself from crying which irked David even more. Later, David and Jeff Greene (Jeff Garlin) head to an art exhibit to meet Richard Lewis, who is wearing an unusual gown. David asked him sarcastically, "Are you vying for the title for the most pretentious man in the world?" David, here, has overstepped his boundaries once again.

In the last episode, Elizabeth Banks who played herself fancied David for having an air of danger about him. Apparently, the Ayatollah of Iran did not like David's musical screenplay about him which was leaked on the internet. Later, David and Banks went out on a date but were brought in by a cop because they accidentally dented the front of the cop car.

"Curb Your Enthusiasm" season 9 episode 4 will air on Sunday, Oct. 22 at 10 p.m. EDT on HBO.
