[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

George successfully delays his wedding. Jerry goes out with Susan's best friend. Jerry loses a jacket he "borrowed" for dinner at the Friars Club. Kramer tries to duplicate the sleeping patterns of Leonardo da Vinci. J. Peterman hires a hearing-impaired employee (Rob Schneider) and Elaine suffers the consequences, when she gets loaded with most of his work.

Elaine questions the employee's disability and coerces Jerry to test him. The results inconclusive, Elaine has some fun testing him by swearing her love for him. Elaine's boss overhears, and gives the two tickets to the magic show where Jerry lost his jacket the night before. Elaine is pressured to attend by her boss, who suspects Elaine's remarks to Bob Grossberg (the deaf employee) were not sincere.

At the magic show, Jerry eventually finds the magicians who he believes took his Friars' Club Jacket, and when he rips it from their hands, he finds that the jacket isn't his. The magicians had given the real Friars' Club jacket back to Jerry's girlfriend. Furious at Jerry, the magicians chase him and George down backstage. Meanwhile, when Elaine's date, Bob, decides to take a short break, Elaine takes the opportunity to try on his hearing aid. Jerry, sprinting away from the magicians, seeks the emergency fire exit. The alarm sounds, and the hearing aid in Elaine's ear explodes with a high-pitched, constant screech.
