[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Jerry makes an off-color remark ("I hate anyone who ever had a pony when they were growing up!") at an aunt's dinner, which subsequently may have led to her death. Much to the disgust of Elaine, he has difficulty deciding whether to go to her funeral, or to a championship softball game.

Meanwhile, Kramer and Jerry bet over whether or not Kramer will be able to rebuild his apartment so that it has multiple levels.

Spoilers end here.
