This is the season finale and it's decent, but it is too rambling and seems a little underdeveloped. Bette Midler makes a guest appearance as herself, starring in a new musical. Jerry's girlfriend is her understudy. During a softball game, George flattens Bette, putting her in the hospital. The whole world thinks it was a deliberate move to get the understudy on stage. There is hatred everywhere. Meanwhile, Kramer and Bette become really close and this is the highlight of the show. At first she is afraid of him, but soon he is doing all her bidding. It all ends with the woman starting a song on the stage, but proves she is a wacko.
