"The Stock Tip" is the fifth episode of Seinfeld. It was the fifth and final episode of the first season. It aired on June 21, 1990.
[edit] Plot
George gets a stock tip that he passes along to Jerry. Jerry goes on an official first date with Vanessa ; a weekend away at a place Elaine recommends (in the DVD commentary track for this episode, show co-creator Larry David stated that he named Vanessa after one of his own ex-girlfriends). However, as George predicted, the date ends up being a disaster, or "a relationship killer." Meanwhile, both George and Jerry are shocked to discover that source of the stock tip had been admitted into the hospital, and while they are unsure of when to sell, the stock's value plummets. Jerry finally sells it, but its value subsequently begins to rise, and George ends up making an $8,000 profit. At the same time, Elaine's allergy to cats causes her to pose an ultimatum to her boyfriend: choose between the cats and her. He chooses the cats.
