[edit] Plot
Jerry invites Elaine to a relative's wedding, and Elaine invites Jerry to a friends' birthday party. At said party, Jerry meets an attractive woman, and finds not her name, but her workplace, the law firm Sagman, Bennet Robbins, Oppenheim and Taft. Jerry and George "stake out" the place, hoping to meet her. They do, and Jerry continues to date her until the series' fifth episode, "The Stock Tip."
