[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

The strong body odor of a valet is left in Jerry's BMW 5 Series. George can't believe it when he spots Susan holding hands with another woman. Elaine loses her current boyfriend and Jerry is forced to try to sell the car, because the odor has taken a life of its own and permeated everything. George is turned on by Susan's new outlook on life. Susan's friend is swayed to heterosexuality by Kramer, though later turned back off by a whiff of a jacket that Kramer borrowed from Jerry. When the car can't be sold, Jerry winds up leaving it and the keys out on the street.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Trivia

  • While George is consoling Susan about the loss of her girlfriend (Mona), it is implied George's ex-girlfriend from "The Outing" also became a lesbian after dating George.
  • Just as Kramer briefly turned a lesbian into a heterosexual, Elaine later tries to get a homosexual man to "switch teams" in the season 6 episode "The Beard." She sleeps with him, but he quickly changes back to his team of origin.
  • Halfway through the episode, Elaine asks Jerry what it means if you're with a guy and he says he has to get up early the next morning. Jerry then replies by saying that he's lying as the man obviously doesn't want to be with you. The irony of this is that prior to this episode, in episode 410 "The Virgin", Elaine clearly already knows this manly trick as she is teaching Marla the virgin the exact same thing about men leaving after sex.
  • Kramer makes a referance to George Steinbrenner in this episode. He would soon later become a recurring character on the show starting in the episode The Opposite.

[edit] Superman Reference

  • Jerry: You don't understand what I'm up against. This is a force more powerful than anything you can imagine! Even Superman would be helpless against this kind of stench!
