[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Elaine holds a baby shower for a friend at Jerry's apartment. George is excited, because he finds the baby shower to be the perfect opportunity to "tell off" the woman who gave him "unequivocally, the worst date of [his] life." These plans prove unsuccessful, as he cannot muster the courage necessary to do so. Ironically, a woman at the party does to Jerry what George had planned to do. Meanwhile, Kramer tries to convince Jerry to pirate cable television. When the Russian cable "providers" show up, they ruin the shower.

The episode was the first episode written by Larry Charles, who remained with the show through the fifth season. He left his mark on the episode by including the "bloodshed and mayhem" he's famous for: he "killed off" Jerry, via dream sequence.

  • The actress who played Leslie ("George's worst date of his life") was Christine Dunford, who would later play the saleswoman in season 5's The Pie.
