[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

George's eyeglasses are stolen at the Health Club and he needs a new pair. He goes to see Kramer's friend to get a thirty percent discount because Kramer helped him break his addiction to sugar. Elaine is bitten by a dog and then she becomes afraid of them, and the possibility that she may have rabies. While not wearing his glasses, George thinks he sees Jerry's girlfriend, Amy, kissing Jerry's cousin, Jeffrey, who apparently has a "horse face". Jerry decides to visit Jeffrey to figure out if it's true. Jerry doesn't know what to think of George's uncanny ability to see while "squinting". George finally decides upon a new pair but is distressed to hear that he bought a pair of women's glasses made by Gloria Vanderbilt. George manages to trade his frames with a blind man's uncomfortable ones. With his vision back, he realizes that it was not Amy kissing Jeffrey, but a woman petting a horse. The episode ends as we see George's glasses right on top of the lockers in the Health Club.

Spoilers end here.
