"The Rye" is the one-hundred and twenty-first episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. This was the 11th episode for the 7th season. It aired on January 4, 1996.
[edit] Plot
Elaine dates a jazz saxophonist and Jerry tells one of the band members that the saxophonist and Elaine are "hot and heavy." Susan's parents meet and have dinner with the Costanzas for the first time, where both families obsess over a loaf of rye bread that wasn't served with the meal, which Frank takes back home. George thinks that by getting Susan's parents out of the apartment for one evening, he can get a new rye and place it in the kitchen, making it appear as though it had always been there. Kramer takes over a friend's horse-drawn carriage for a week and feeds the horse Beef-A-Reeno, the same night he is scheduled to take Susan's parents on a hansom cab ride. The plans fall back when neither Kramer nor Susan's parents can bear the smell emitted by the Rusty the Horse after consuming an entire can of Beef-A-Reeno. Furthermore, the bakery sells the last rye to an elderly women who refused to sell it to Jerry for fifty dollars. Jerry then follows the woman down the street in order to obtain the marble rye loaf, though she still refuses to sell it. When she refuses to give it to him, he steals it from her. By now the Rosses have returned and the only way George can retrieve the Rye is by fishing it out of Jerry's hands from a third story window. He is eventually caught by Susan and her parents, thus ruining his carefully concieved plan.
