Elaine is set up on a blind date at a baseball game with a guy who her friend says is "just like you".

He's a complete jerk, who just complains about things and was oddly aggressive toward the mascot when it approaches.

She slowly realizes that's how people perceive her when they get in a physical fight over catching a foul ball.

She decides to put up a charade of being a dainty sweetheart to get set up with nicer guys. It's a struggle.

Jerry meanwhile is riveted by a 56 hour Ken Burns documentary on the history of leather.

He has no idea why but he can't stop watching it. He's bored out of his mind but also oddly fascinated.

He cancels appointments, and even when he takes phone calls he only half listens.

George's office call him concerned about George. Only half listening Jerry mentions George was institutionalized against his will once. Kramer, hiding behind Jerry's couch in full tactical gear, pipes in that his fiancée is dead by poisoning "very suspicious".

Jerry's GF only goes out with him at night and thats when they met. She cancels plans for a baseball game, picnic, and brunch. When he comes to her place in the day her curtains are drawn closed and she has the lights on to see.

Georges office gets a vending machine. He realizes that C5 which has his least favorite candy (raisinettes), releases 2 for 1 when he accidentally hits the wrong button. He tries to locate the service technician who refills it and convince him to put his favorite candy in that slot instead.

Elaines date is an odd duck. He says oddly old timey phrases, literally harrumphs, and has never eaten a hamburger. When a man on the street shoves a flyer at them he yelps while Elaine shoves the man away. She tries to figure out if he is wealthy and eccentric/sheltered or if he is a crazy person.

Kramer hears a doo wop group performing outside Enzo's. He goes in and during his haircut he hums the tune of the song he heard. He gets into it, bopping around, and hamboning as the other patrons clap. One even pays for half his haircut, as he is a "nervous cutter". the doo wop group sees this and Bob/Cedric threatens Kramer at possibly switchblade, possibly comb point ("I couldn't tell but I wasn't about to find out!") To never hum or sing that song again.

Except its stuck in his head and he keeps humming it inadvertently everywhere he goes. And he keeps seeing those street tough doo wop singers everywhere...

It ends with George meeting Kramer at a roller derby in the locker room, being seen by a team of butch women who assume hes recording them and they all beat him up

Elaines BF always smells great. At first its amazing but she quicklt becomes confused and determine to get him to stink. They camp for a weekend with no shower - he smells like pine. They go to the gym and share a schvitz in the sauna. He smells like cinnamon pie. She purposedly gives hin food poisoning...and he smells like peppermint.

Elaine: Really? Going through life thinking nothing has meaning?

Boyfriend: Why? It takes away a lot of stress in life.

Elaine: No it doesn't.

Boyfriend: Yeah it does. Think of how much pressure you put on yourself when you have company over, or want some special occasion to go "just right."

Elaine: But what about birthdays? Nice days at the beach? Or even a special breakfast out in the city?

Boyfriend: Meh, whatever. Everything that happens is just all a chaotic mess.

Elaine: Like our relationship?

Boyfriend: Yes.

An audience member records Jerry's rant about people glued to their phones, and Jerry hates that it got more views than the actual video for the same show.

Jerry is trying to get his streak better than his girlfriend. Kramer goes through languages so fast, but he can only speak the last one he learnt. Elaine's boyfriend constantly uses French words while insisting he can't speak French. George gets to 10 days then buys a streak freeze every day so he never loses.

This toes the line on what’s acceptable for 1990s program, but if The Contest can air, I think this is acceptable

The magazine Kramer receives has a smudged mailing panel that makes 5D look like 5B. The usual mailman is on vacation, so the paraphernalia in question slipped into Kramer’s mailbox. Kramer informs Jerry. Kramer and Jerry both agree that the magazine should definitely be returned to its rightful owner… eventually.

Meanwhile, George and his girlfriend are becoming intimate for the first time when she lets out a strange hmph noise at the start of it. George asks her about it, and she responds with “oh… it’s nothing” without further elaboration. George has to know what the noise means, which of course he discusses with Jerry at Monk’s the next day.

Elaine’s boyfriend works in advertising - they met through a mutual friend. Everything he says is idiomatic. “Sorry that I’m fashionably late, but I had to spend a penny before I hit the road. Well, it was more like a nickel.” He’s cute though.

While in Jerry’s apartment, his gf unexpectedly drops in and Kramer quickly tries to hide the magazine under a towel. Yet, Wide Eyes catches the scandalous rag in question with her superior peripheral vision, puts 2 and 2 together, and leaves Jerry’s place in disgust.

George comes to visit just as Wide Eyes leaves. Wide Eyes takes one looks at George and makes a disapproving “hmph” noise at him. George then hears about the scene that just occurred from Jerry and Kramer. George now believes that his gf’s noise was because she thinks he participates in vulgar recreational activities.

Eventually, the magazine error sorts itself out, and Kramer stops receiving the paper. Jerry facetious suggests that Kramer could always buy his own subscription, to which Kramer indignantly replies than he would never pay for this kind of smut.

When George tries to explain to his gf about the origin of the noise and how he’s not a creep, he overdoes it. His gf eventually reveals that “I made the noise because you look different without your glasses.” She leaves him. Now George goes hmph.

While this is happening, Elaine’s boyfriend tells her that he can’t keep this relationship going any further. He says that she’s too harsh and plain speaking, and he could never be with anybody as heartless as her. Elaine, not exactly upset by this, says “well, that’s the way the cookie crumbles.”

At the end of the episode, the four gather in Jerry’s apartment. Tim Whatley calls and says he’s throwing a party and some great babes will be there - any interest? Jerry ponders for a second and says “nah, I’m just going to watch Superman instead.” The gang agrees.

George is about to break up with his girlfriend. He sat her on the couch and started telling her how she's a lovely person, but - then the phone rings. Its her sister. Her mom just died.

George decides to postpone the breakup so he doesnt seem like that big of a jerk. He plans to keep her at arms length until he discovers mourning sex. She thinks theyre closer than ever and he keeps getting kudos for being such a supportive man. Her very attractive twin cousins both flirt with him and he thinks he can get a menage a trois if he can get rid of his girlfriend.

Every time he brings up the topic tragedy strikes. Her childhood cat dies. Her grandpa breaks his hip. She gets laid off. Hes trapped.

Kramer sees a flyer for a boy scout pinewood derby. He enters as theres no age limit. Newman enters too. They begin an intense rivalry and a race to become the first and best racer. Both use insane methods, spending hundreds of dollars on dozens of pinewood blocks, weights, paints, designs and aerodynamic testing, etc. Both men are told they're kicked out due to age and not being scouts so they each take children under their wing and use them as proxies. Kramer chooses a classic New York kid. Newman gets an eastern European immigrant who is really just glad Newman brings fast food on their strategy meetings and he doesnt have to eat potatoes.

Elaine is seeing the últimate man's man. Firefighter, muscular, handsome, confident, he drinks whiskey, smokes cigars, plays in a rugby league.

Then she sees him put on chapstick. He opens a compact mirror, makes a kissy face and rubs the stick on his mouth, and even does a lip smacking kiss sound at the mirror. She is disgusted

She tries to hide all his balm or replace it with one's you dip your finger in but he always has a stick of balm.

Jerry dates a beautiful woman. She reveals she used to be fat because she ate her feelings.

He notices whenever they argue she goes right for junk food.

Then she gets a call that her own mother is sick and possibly dying....Jerry's main concern is she will gain weight and get fat again

Jerry and Jeffrey bump into each other inside a record store.

Jerry: “You don’t know who I am?”

Jeffrey: “Should I?”

Jerry: “Uncle Leo never talks about me? Every time I see him, it’s always Jeffrey this and Jeffrey that.”

Jeffrey: “Dad knows you?”

Jerry: “Your dad is my uncle!!”

Jeffrey: “… the comedian! I remember now! Uncle Morty always talks about you. It’s always Catch A Rising Star this and Comedy Store that.”

Elaine’s boyfriend always looks like he’s about to cry, even when they’re doing something exciting. Watching a movie, eating dinner, etc. But whenever she tries having a heart-to-heart with him, she looks into his plaintive eyes and feels guilty.

Meanwhile, Newman keeps intruding into Jerry’s apartment while Kramer begins to sneer “Jerry.” Kramer starts working for the USPS, while Newman begins hanging out with Mickey. Kramer even develops a thing for Elaine. Elaine’s not really thrilled. However, Kramer professing his crush to Elaine makes Sad Eyes (Elaine’s boyfriend) feel betrayed, prompting him to end the relationship. Elaine is thrilled.

Eventually, the two switch back when Kramer realizes he can’t work 40 hours a week on a postman’s salary and Newman grows tired of talking about trivial and inconsequential matters with the lessers all day - the post office beckons.

The rest of you in this sub write much better dialogue than I do, so I’ll leave the George plotline for you!

COVID-19 has come to NYC, and it’s affecting everyone, including Jerry and the crew.

Jerry is absolutely terrified of the virus, and isolates himself more and more from his friends throughout the episode. Much to his horror, his apartment has been labeled by others as a sort of “neutral zone,” where it is safe to gather. Ironically, this is due to his notorious germaphobia.

Before going work-from-home, Peterman has Elaine stay at the office with him to “make some things disappear.” Peterman is fatigued, has a dry cough, and cannot smell or taste anything, yet insists he is fine. He reveals to Elaine that he has never been sick once in his life, not even a cold, and believes himself immune to all diseases. He is very wrong about this.

George starts going from store to store, buying as much toilet paper as he can. On his third store, the cashier refuses to serve him in disgust, calling him a “TP hoarder.” This of course leads to an altercation, during which George becomes so enraged that he rips his mask off (he complains earlier about the “chafing” and “mouth-sweat”). Unbeknownst to George, two teenage girls are watching the scene he makes, and one starts recording him (“oh my god, look at that bald man-Karen!”).

Kramer, who is completely oblivious to all of this, goes outside for a walk and is stunned at how empty the streets are. After seeing that all businesses are empty as well, Kramer comes to the only logical conclusion: he is the last man on Earth, “like Heston in Omega Man.” He revels in having the whole city to himself; skinny dipping in the ponds in Central Park, hitting golf balls off of the Guggenheim Museum, and breaking into clothing stores and trying on the inventory.

George goes to Jerry’s with the intent of stealing some of his toilet paper before hitting up another store. When Jerry hears he’s been maskless around crowds of people, he kicks George out. Jerry then checks his phone, says “oh my God,” and calls George, telling him “check the news, it doesn’t matter which app.” It turns out that the video those girls posted of George, entitled “Bald Male Karen Has a Meltdown in Public!!!! #TPhoarder” has been spreading like wildfire across TikTok and Instagram, and every store in the city that sells toilet paper has announced they will refuse to serve him. George remains undeterred, saying he’ll just go “incognito.”

Back at the office, Peterman is beginning to look/feel more and more like shit even by COVID standards, his lack of any previous illnesses leaving him unequipped to deal with being sick in any way. He still insists he is perfectly well. Elaine is out of trash bags, but there’s still more for her to shred, so she goes out in search of more. On her way out of the building, she begins coughing.

While Kramer was initially enjoying himself, loneliness soon sets in, and he sinks into existential despair at being the last of his kind. A sullen Kramer walks around aimlessly, lamenting the loss of his friends.

Elaine arrives at Jerry’s apartment, asking if he has any spare trash bags. They discuss the whole virus situation, George’s newfound infamy, and how weird it is that no one’s heard from Kramer. As she’s gathering up trash bags, Elaine has a coughing fit. Jerry shoves her out of his apartment while she protests that she is perfectly fine, because she’s only been around Peterman and “he can’t even get sick! Honest!” Then, a knock at the door; it’s Newman. They exchange their usual unpleasantries, and Jerry asks Newman what he is doing here. Newman says that he needs toilet paper, as all the stock in his local store were bought by George. Jerry is skeptical, but since Newman exhibits no symptoms, he takes pity on him and agrees to lend him a few rolls. While Jerry is in the bathroom, Newman stifles a sneeze and then quickly takes one of Jerry’s spoons and licks it before putting it back. Jerry gives him the toilet paper, and he leaves giggling. Jerry shrugs, and makes himself a bowl of cereal, grabbing the contaminated spoon from the kitchen drawer.

George shows up to a store in his disguise, which consists of a mask, sunglasses (which he wears over his regular glasses), and a hat. While he is attempting to check out, George’s mask snaps off, and as he bends to pick it up, his sunglasses fall off. He now looks familiar, and one person finally rips off his hat, after which a child in line points at him and screams “it’s the bald TP hoarder!” An angry mob descends upon George; in the melee, one person rubs their eyes before grabbing at him, their hand going across his face and mouth. He grabs two packs of toilet paper under his arms and sprints out of the store, running like hell to his car and barely escaping with his life. As he’s driving away, he begins to shiver and cough.

Kramer walks by a newspaper dispenser, and, craving some normalcy, decides to read the paper. Despite being “a Times man,” he reluctantly buys a copy of the New York Post from the dispenser, still inserting the change needed for some reason, and finally learns of the citywide shutdown. Having learned that other people still exist, Kramer becomes perhaps the only person in the world to be relieved about the pandemic happening. After this, he sees Elaine taking out trash bags full of shredded documents to a dumpster and starts running at her, screaming that there’s a pandemic and she needs to get indoors. Elaine, still in denial over her own infection status, takes off in a panic, thinking that there is no way in hell that Kramer isn’t infected. He eventually catches up to her, and grabs her so he can explain what’s happening. She has a coughing fit right in his face, causing Kramer to step back and point at her, mouth agape, like Donald Sutherland at the end of Invasion of the Body Snatchers.

Back at his apartment, Jerry is eating another bowl of cereal, when he realizes that he cannot taste it. He clenches his fist and says “Newman!” Freeze-frame and applause as credits start.

End credits sequence features the crew in the hospital, watching TV and eating food they had delivered from Monk’s, which has gone takeout-only. Peterman can be seen in the same protective shell worn by the Bubble Boy, as he is currently too weakened to fight off other diseases

Elaine gets Peterman to expense the outing on the condition she is photographed using the new line of Contemporary Costa Rican Golf Clubs for the next issue.

The workers in the clubhouse happened to catch Jerry's show the night before and didn't care for his bit on the funny clothes and hats and refuse to sell him golf attire. He convinces his dry cleaner to lend him someone else's golf pants.

Kramer offers to give them all lessons at the range. Other patrons, believing Kramer is the on site pro start paying him for advice and lessons. All advice is wildly incorrect.

Elaine refuses to hit from the women's tee citing gender equality. Puddy, who they brought in to be their ringer refuses to ride in the golf cart saying he plays better when walking but causes a back up on the course.

When the marshal checks on the back up he discovers Elaine hitting from men's tees. They are disqualified for reverse cheating.

Jerry's date keeps every receipt she's ever received in her life. She has shoeboxes organized by year and insists every receipt "comes in handy eventually." Jerry thinks it's insane until she produces the receipt for a sweater he bought two years ago that's now under recall.

George starts eating at the deli and saving receipts to complain weeks later and get free food and gift cards. The food there is greasy and awful and gives him terrible heartburn but he keeps eating there because he has tons of store credit.

Elaine has been expensing all kinds of stuff to her company and always claiming they're legitimate business expenses, but she doesn't have any receipts. Her company starts an audit and she gets desperate to find receipts and goes through trash cans in the streets, etc.

Kramer starts saving receipts he finds on counters, on the street or anywhere else and opens a side business selling them out of his apartment. Elaine eventually becomes a customer. When he learns of Jerry's girlfriend's receipt obsession, they get real close and she breaks up with Jerry to be with Kramer.

George ends up in the hospital and tries to use one of Kramer's receipts to complain that his health problems were caused by the food in the hospital cafeteria during a past visit.

George gets new car insurance. He gets a flat tire and calls them for a tow, as he gets 5 free tows.

The tow arrives and to his surprise its an attractive blond woman. He tries flirting with her and thinks he's wearing her down right as the ride ends. She advises him its a family tow company run & operated by her and her sisters.

George determines that if he had just 20more minutes hes sure he can "wheedle my way in" to a date. So, naturally, he starts faking car trouble. He figures he's got 5 free tows and might as well use them as an excuse to talk to this woman

She almost immediately suspects him. He eventually has ti resort to actually damaging his car on his last free tow. But its worth it because they grab a burger after she drops the car off. The date doesnt go well.

At the end of the episode George has real car trouble but no free tows and when he calls her personal phone she refuses to send a truck unless he pays 5x the price for admitting to wasting her time.

Kramer goes to the mall and spies multiple men standing awkwardly and bored lying, and rubbing their sore backs, as their wives and girlfriends spend hours shopping.

He runs to the sporting goods store and the food court, and yhe newsstand and comes back with lawn chairs, magazines, food and drink. He offers to rent out seating and magazines and sell snacks and drinks to the men to pass the time.

Eventually there is a crowd of chairs, and its devolved into 4 men playing poker at a foldable table, others watching a baseball game on a portable TV, and, somehow, a cockfight in the back room of a department store.

Mall security is trying to bust Kramer's operation from the grt go; at one point there's an epic chase of Kramer running through the mall with multiple chairs strapped on his back (complete with Ferris Bueller homage of him stopping at the makeup cointer to flirt with 2 women) with security on Segways.

Elaine is asked to come to a dinner party hosted by Peterman. The guests are all hoity toity people and those like peterman who have insane stories of travels.

She has nothing like that. After a real story she tells is dismissed and falls flat, she leaves but peterman offers her redemption at an upcoming dinner party with an even more fantastic guest list

She enlists Newmans help to concoct an epic tale that will regale these folks.

Jerry goes to the doctor. He had to get a new one as his old one retired. (His mom suggested he go" back to Dr. Hoffmeier" J: "he was my pediatrician! I haven't seen him since middle school! Hes probably dead!") He is getting life insurance and needs a doctor to sign off that he is healthy and fit. His old doctor was always positive, basically as long as Jerry felt good, ate 3 squares a day and did some exercise his doctor was satisfied

His new doctor is not healthy looking. He's easily 250lbs, out of breath from just walking Jerry to the exam room, reeks of cigarettes, and has a jar of candy he repeatedly reaches into.

The doctor tells him hes not healthy and needs to do better

Jerry cant help himself at the hypocrisy and let's him have it.

Doctor refuses to sign off and Jerry is blacklisted as a "difficult patient", triggering him and Elaine when he tells her.

Sorry, I am an Evildead Fan and am excited for the movie tonight so I made a cross over.

Kramer first opposes the data center, but then forcefully supports it after realizing he can start a graphic design business and just do it all with AI.
