[edit] Plot

George tells Jerry about his lack of confidence in performing in bed. Jerry begs Elaine for another chance when he finds out she faked her orgasms. Kramer gets banned from his favorite fruit shop and sends Jerry to get his fruit, but the owner who knows Kramer's regular order realizes Jerry is buying for Kramer. Joe bans Jerry from the fruit shop as well. Later, George discovers that the mangos from Joe's fruit shop cure his impotence. Unfortunately he thinks his girlfriend faked it and she throws him out. The episode ends with Jerry and Elaine in bed, after Elaine agrees to give Jerry another chance, but Jerry suffers impotence and ends up blaming George for putting the thought in his head; she then asks: "Y'know, I'm a little hungry - you wouldn't happen to have any of that mango left?" Jerry then realizes his solution.

The Conversation between Jerry, George and Elaine about faking orgasms is reminiscent of when Harry Met Sally.
