Jerry dates a woman who seems to have moved on from her husband’s death too quickly. Kramer is convinced that she is a Black Widow: Someone who murders their spouse. Jerry becomes increasingly paranoid that he is her next target.
Kramer brings his photography portfolio with him when he visits Elaine at work. Peterman browses the photographs and is impressed by the photos of George that Kramer took in “The Package.” Peterman hires Kramer as a photographer for their new line of clothing focusing on Body Positivity and wants George to be the model. At first, George is insulted by the implication that he is not “Conventionally Attractive.” However, he soon realizes that his new status as a symbol for Body Positivity enables him to guilt women into dating him out of their fear of being labeled shallow.
Now that Kramer and George both work at the J. Peterman Catalog, they do not have as much time to visit Jerry’s apartment. To make up for this, the three of them designate Elaine’s office as the new hangout spot, irritating her more than ever.
George’s scheme backfires when a plus-sized model also hired for the catalog uses the same trick on him. George rejects her, resulting in everyone calling him superficial and he is blacklisted from the modeling industry.
Jerry, still suspicious of his girlfriend, fears that everything they do together is actually a plot to kill him in a way that looks like an accident. During a date at the coffee shop, Jerry leaves the table to use the bathroom. When he returns, he notices that his drink is in a slightly different place on the table from where he left it. Panicking at the thought that his girlfriend may have poisoned it, Jerry runs out of the coffee shop in terror and is hit by a bus. He is taken to the hospital and put in a full body cast. His girlfriend assures him that she will be there to take care of him and personally prepare all of his meals while he recovers.
Elaine is a hero for standing up to the patriarchy but actually ends up hooking up with the guy who tried to kiss her. She admired his persistence. She can't tell anyone at work and feels like a fraud for pretending to be a feminist.
Kramer is paid to investigate Jerry.
George: "I got broken up with over other men's sins?!?!"
Jerry: "exterted my power!? I was doing an unpaid set! She makes more than I do!"
Not great dialogue but that's how I see the scenes lol. Someone else please improve it
Highlights:
Elaine and Puddy bringing up the "crooked" shelves constantly and ruining multiple dinners/parties/sporting events
Elaine smuggling Kramer in to fix the shelves
Kramer wearing the belt around, comolete with tools, and using tools for completely unnecessary things - open a lid with a hammer, tape measure slices of cake, tin snips to cut a shirts loose thread. Kramer says he's going to shave, and the sound of a belt sander followed by a shriek is heard across the hall
George's GF's father hates him but loves that he works for the Yankees. His favorite player is Don Mattingly and he asks George to get him to sign a baseball.
Mattingly despises George because he took the last Crunch bar from a vending machine, which is Mattinglys lucky pre game snack, and he went on a cold streak.
George forges his signature and gifts the ball to his girlfriends father when they all go to dinner. Mattingly is in the same restaurant and George must hide the fact that they hate each other and that he forged his signature
Jerry dates a woman. When he texts her simple things he gets dozens of short texts in a row in a stream of conscious style messaging, and they never give him a concrete answer
J: How about we try that Thai place by the park?
GF: I went to Thailand for vacation as a kid
It was super fun, the beaches are just gorgeous, I'd kill to go there again. Maybe when I retire.
The park is romantic but not after dark
Did you hear about that jogger they found?
I hate jogging. Like I'm gonna run in a big circle. Lame.
Elaine runs out of sponges. Kramer knows a guy who makes them but refuses to get any for Elaine because the guy gypped him for Cuban Cigars back in 84'. George and Jerry unknowingly date the same girl who is the fiancé of Kramer's contact.
George smokes crack to impress a girl, and inadvertently becomes Kramer. Kramer is forced to buy weed from Newmans dealer, and he ends up with an Indica, and he becomes George. Maybe Jerry and Elaine sleep together on shrooms.
Jerry is booked to perform at a corporate convention hosted by the same corporation. He gets cold feet when he realizes he doesn't have a bit for a white-collar audience.
Kramer gets a free couch from a new neighbor and finds a massive stash of money hidden inside. Thinking nothing of it, he goes on a spending spree until he discovers the neighbor was arrested for stealing money from the corporation but was released by the feds and placed in witness protection in exchange for testifying against his former employers.
Larry David meets with the cast to tell them he’s taking a vacation, so they have to collaboratively write the next episode themselves.
Estelle and Frank have a weekly phone call with George. They always drone on and on to George about their comings and goings but then whenever he starts taking about HIS week suddenly things happen. Frank remembers he needs to soak his foot. They're driving through a tunnel. There is a car crash outside. George suspects they are lying to get out of hearing about him.
Jerry: But you hate talking to them and telling them about your life.
George: So? If I have to hear them, they have to hear ME. Its only fair!
Kramer becomes a coffee snob and refuses to drink coffee from Monk's instead bringing his own french press.
Jerry becomes increasingly unhinged when his new girlfriend, who works as an AI voice actor, maintains the exact same tone and cadence whether she's breaking up with him or ordering soup, leading him to obsessively record and analyze their conversations.
Kramer accidentally becomes a viral Hennigan's scotch influencer after filming himself gargling with it to cure a toothache, leading to elderly women across America duetting his videos with their own "no tell, no smell" morning routines.
Elaine's steamy romance novel becomes a bestseller under the pen name "Lady Marmalade," but when she tries to reveal herself as the author at a book signing, everyone assumes she's lying because the book's infamous "cheese wheel scene" is "clearly written by someone who understands passion.”
George debates trying to start a relationship with ChatGPT after he asks it to evaluate a picture of himself and calls his bald head "gloriously smooth like a noble emperor.”
He goes to greater and greater lengths to prove his Manhattanite status, trying to be seen conspicuously by his coworkers doing things like eating street cart hot dogs or going to Madison Square Garden, and becomes a caricature of himself by the end.
Jerry makes a joke about MTA leadership in one of his standup sets and unexpectedly finds himself in a PR war with a public transit boss.
J. Peterman wants to branch out into direct-to-business sales and somehow finds an open contract for city bus driver uniforms. Elaine is tasked with negotiating the sale, but is given an absurd set of haute couture samples by Peterman, who doesn't really seem to understand the job.
Kramer swears that there's a second, "shadow" system of tunnels that parallel the subway that have "better, more premium" trains and attempts to discover how to get access.
Jerry's girlfriend Adrianah is overly enthusiastic about her axolotls, which she considers as rare pets; Jerry keeps wondering how'd she ever get them if they're supposed to be so rare. Kramer starts volunteering at library storytimes; at first, he reads the children classic fairytales, but then he gets bored of them and starts reading them things like French experimental novelists, which leaves the children bewildered. George's girlfriend May adopts a dog, but George can never see him in her apartment because it's a Komondor and looks like a rag. Elaine dates a black guy, but he gets offended when she takes him to a jazz club.
Elaine is hired to ghost write a memoire for a renowned explorer. She seemingly gets pulled into his next adventure only to discover he is a fraud.
George drops a winning scratch ticket into a storm drain. Kramer leads him into the tunnels to find it and they come across an underground society of people. They are surprised and excited at such a discovery until they realize they are crazy homeless people.
George at a new coffee shop on December 22rd
Barista: espresso for George
George walks up
George: that would be me.
Barista: have a good day
George looks at the cup to see it is red and green
At Jerry’s apartment
George: Jerry, this has gotten out of control.
Jerry: what has?
George: these cups with there red and green. . How dare they not recognize Festivus
Jerry: there just cups George.
George; Jerry, you don’t understand it . These coffee shops, they want to ignore Festivus. Jerry they don’t care about Festivus. THEY DONT CARE ABOHT FESTIVUS!
Jerry: you mean to tell me coffee shops purposely have red and green cups because they want to ignore a holiday you made up?
George: THEY DON’T CARE ABOUT FESTIVUS!
On
Kramer: Jerry, I found another clue. I looked at Central Park in Map Mode, and found Tavern On the Green.
Jerry: Why didn't you use Satellite Mode?
Kramer: Cause, Jer. Everyone uses Satellite Mode. Map Mode is where the hunt is. So, I'm looking, and suddenly I notice one end of the building has the number 201. The other end has 330.
Jerry: Those are probably just mailing addresses.
Kramer: AH! No no no. It ain't big enough to warrant two different addresses, never mind in different hundreds entirely.
Jerry: So, what do you think is going on there?
Kramer: No clue, but I'm headed there to find out.
*Kramer leaves*
Jerry: "No clue." Sounds about right.
