[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

George tries to make a big exit from the New York Yankees organization; however, all his attempts make him look better in the organization. All his attempts to get fired were caused by a secret meeting that "never happened" with the New York Mets to fill their top scouting position. He fails at running through the stadium in a full body suit and other stunts. Finally he drags a trophy hitched to his car through the parking lot and is confronted in Steinbrenner's office. Wilhelm takes credit for the stunt and is fired, then takes the Mets' scouting position instead of George. The step-mother of Jerry's girlfriend confronts him over his #1 position on the speed dial. Newman compromises with Kramer about their respective parties, they will be combined; however, he only has one condition, the next century must be "Jerry free." Elaine discovers the clothing store she began frequenting is owned by the same woman who didn't help her at the other store. Kramer reluctantly agrees but then has misgivings and gets Elaine to come back to his party. Elaine plans her revenge on the store with Kramer's help. Jerry gets caught in the middle of a speed dial war between his girlfriend and step-mother. The step-mother adds Jerry to one of her emergency speed dials. When Kramer leaves the store, he accidentally spills moisture absorbers into the salsa at the counter. Jerry's girlfriend's step-mother eats the salsa and gets sick. Jerry's girlfriend presses the button for poison control, but ends up calling Jerry.
