Another entertaining episode from Season 7 even though it may come as weaker than the previous three.

A lot of weird things going on but thankfully is a good weirdness. Elaine starts dating his wake up guy and for some reason I find this idea very entertaining. I mean, it definitely is unrelatable but it's just so original you can't help but go alone with it. The same case goes for George's storyline: Jerry spills some grapefruit on George's eye, making him to wink involuntarily. This sets up most of the events that take place in the episode and, to its merit, it is quite funny in the beginning but as the episode continues George's wink habit disappears out of the blue. So that's kind of lazy from the writers.

The other two story lines are Jerry trying to prove his manhood to Elaine's relative and Kramer trying to get the Yankee's signed card back from an ill kid at the hospital. Both stories are crazy and give us great moments.

Apart from that we get the first appearance of the great George Steinbrenner.

On a side note, I'd like to point out the job of continuity the writers are doing with this season. Similar to Season 4, every episode acknowledges something that happened earlier in the season (on this case Elaine's relationship with dogs).
