[edit] Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
While George would rather forget about his fiancee Susan's tragic demise, Susan's parents want to keep her memory alive by creating a foundation. Jerry reunites with Dolores (aka Mulva) from "The Junior Mint." J. Peterman has a nervous breakdown and leaves Elaine in charge. Kramer becomes a martial arts expert at a karate academy for kids.
Spoilers end here.
[edit] Trivia
- This episode was dedicated to Marjorie Gross, a writer for the show who died of ovarian cancer in June of 1996.
- This episode (obviously) makes several references to Star Trek. Jerry's line to Susan's parents, "She's not really dead if we find a way to remember her.," is very similar to a line said at the end of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan. Kramer mentions his Katra, the Vulcan spirit intoduced in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. Finally, when George learns of the foundation, he yells, "Khaaaaaaannnnnnn!!!" while the camera pans above him, much like Captain Kirk in Star Trek II.
