Another possibility is that Michael simply did not want to risk shooting Larry's hostage whom Larry was about to kill. The episode leaves it ambiguous whether Michael did not have a clean shot to kill Larry with a sniper rifle, or if Michael felt reluctant to kill an old friend. In Larry’s first appearance, "Double Booked," the question is raised as to why Michael doesn't kill Larry when he has the chance. He never joins Larry's side, despite Larry's repeated attempts and threats of coercion. Michael never wavers in his commitment to protect his friends from Larry. He repeatedly tries to lure Michael over to his side and way of thinking, even threatening the lives of Michael's loved ones, his on-again/off-again girlfriend Fiona Glenanne ( Gabrielle Anwar), and best friend Sam Axe ( Bruce Campbell).

Throughout his appearances in the series, Larry serves as a reminder of what Michael could become if he went over the edge and became completely unhinged. Even after his presumed death, Larry continued to leave a mark on the show and Michael Westen. Played to perfection by Tim Matheson, "Dead" Larry acted as the perfect adversary to Michael Westen and had a multi-episode character arc. The shadowy group responsible for burning Westen was "The Organization." While many fans would agree that "The Organization" and their collective members were the main villains of the show, the show's best villain came in the form of Larry Sizemore, aka "Dead" Larry. Throughout multiple seasons, Westen discovers a deeply embedded secret rogue cabal operating within the United States government running illicit black operations.
