[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The four go to the hospital to meet some friends who have just had a baby. At the hospital, George gets a great parking spot right in front of the hospital, which becomes unfortunate when a mental patient at the hospital jumps from the roof and lands on it. George then attempts to get the hospital to pay his bill for the car. Kramer stumbles into the wrong room at the hospital and becomes convinced that he saw a 'pigman', forming a conspiracy theory concerning the government and genetic mutation ("The government's been experimenting with pig-men since the fifties!"). Elaine and Jerry are nervous about the religious duties they must do when they agree to become godparents to a couple's newborn, including getting the Mohel and holding the baby for the circumcision. At the bris, Elaine's unstable, shaky Mohel arrives. Kramer, disturbed by the concept of the bris, attempts to stop it, and the Mohel accidentally circumcizes Jerry's finger. The four go to the hospital, where Jerry's finger is fixed up. Kramer finds the 'pigman' (who is actually just a fat, ugly, mental patient) and "liberates" him from the hospital. The 'pigman' steals George's car.
