Jerry and Elaine try to have sex but retain their friendship, but due to relationship killaz, it doesn't work. Instead, they seem to be dating again at the end, yet next ep, they're simply friends once more. George and Kramer are pretty unimportant.
Our Commentary
Very funny OCB. Classic stuff with this, that, and the other. George perfect with the need for details. First Elaine's apt. and roomie. But perhaps the most important this that occurs in this ep, which I am writing as I edit all of the Episodes pages with the Dictionary/Explanation links, is that Norman Brenner shows his glorious face for the first time in this episode. Seinfeld will never be the same again. Overall good ep. Adam - Nothing fancy, just a solid ep had by all.
