[edit] Plot

Kramer invades Jerry's life too much, so Jerry revokes his spare key privileges. Realizing that he has broken the "covenant of the keys" gives Kramer the realization he is now free to come out of the shadows. Kramer takes off for California to follow his dream of becoming an actor.

Jerry gave his spare keys to Elaine, then when he needs them, he goes to Elaine's home with George (who has spare keys to her place), to search for his spare set. They end up finding Elaine's writing project for an episode of Murphy Brown.

Kramer finds adventure as he journeys across the country to Los Angeles where he gets a famous bit part on Murphy Brown.

[edit] BTK killer reference

Jerry jokes with a woman he dates about pretending to run into his apartment to escape from murderers. His date counters, "I'm from Wichita", a reference to the fact that Wichita was once terrorized by one of the most notorious serial killers of the 20th century, the BTK Killer.
