[edit] Plot

Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.

Kramer is arrested when he is mistaken for "The Smog Strangler," a serial killer roaming the streets of Los Angeles. While also in L.A., Jerry and George try to help resolve the accusation. After Kramer is exonerated, Jerry and George decide to return to New York, but Kramer opts to remain in Los Angeles. However, by the end of the episode, Kramer has returned to New York and is once again living across the hall from Jerry. He offers no explanation for his return.

Spoilers end here.

[edit] Trivia

Clint Howard plays a serial killer named Tobias who is accidentally freed by George and Jerry. His brother Ron Howard would later co-create and executive produce the show Arrested Development, in which a character of similar appearance, also named Tobias, plays a major role. Mitchell Hurwitz has acknowledged his show's debt to Seinfeld occasionally.[1] Ron and Clint's father, Rance Howard, later appeared on the show as a blind man in Season 5's "The Glasses", and again as a farmer in Season 7's "The Bottle Deposit".

When George's bed ends up tucked as he disliked, he and Jerry were in the opposite beds as when they were telling the maid which one to tuck and which to untuck in "The Trip, Part 1".

When Kramer is confronted by the police at his apartment (about 12 minutes into the episode), Larry David (one of the show's creators and executive producers) can be seen standing in the crowd behind the officers, at the far right of the scene. Also visible in the crowd is writer Larry Charles.
