- George makes an off hand joking remark to a married couple with a rocky relationship David & Beth (Debra Messing), leading to their breakup. Beth is a physician and David is a salesman and George comments that Beth could have done a lot better than him. Elaine always thought that David was "Sponge Worthy" and Jerry has a crush on Beth.
Elaine and Jerry make plans to move in on the separated couple, but George, troubled by the results of his comment, tries to get them back together. Jerry says that it is like a rent-controlled apartment, time is of the essence and the situation calls from immediate action. Elaine says that they can call David and Beth respectively and say, "I am there for you". Beth goes to dinner with Jerry. She confirms that she broke up with David due to George's comment. Meanwhile Elaine is having dinner with David and being the shoulder for him to cry on. David blames George for the break up. When George decides to come clean to Beth, but Elaine and Jerry wrestle him to the ground to prevent him from doing so.
David Lookner (Cary Elwes) makes the same remark to George and Susan, who acts in somewhat the same way the couple did when George made the remark to Beth; George sees this as a hopeful sign that Susan (Heidi Swedberg) would call off the marriage.
Susan wants to be alone for a while, which leads George to think that she could do better and presumably call off the wedding. However, it turns out her thinking was to have chicken instead at the wedding; George is once again stuck in their engagement.
Elaine starts driving again and almost makes Jerry sick. Jerry tries to make all sorts of excuses to avoid driving with Elaine, to no effect.
George eventually talks to Beth and Beth calls Jerry saying maybe breakup with David was a mistake. Elaine offers to drive Jerry to Beth to take corrective action, but Jerry is scared of getting into the car with her. By the time Jerry reaches Beth, he is nauseated, and he cannot explain his point coherently to Beth. Eventually, the couple David & Beth gets back together again, after George explains his apology to Beth despite Jerry & Elaine protests.
Kramer starts wearing tight jeans (he calls them Dungarees), because he likes the slim fit (calling them streamlined). However, they are so tight that he cannot get them off, nor can he sit down. Kramer helps Mickey (Danny Woodburn) with his Actors Studio audition, but due to the jeans is unable to sit, causing Mickey to improvise the scene. Mickey is playing detective and Kramer is a businessman accused of murder. Mickey ends up attacking Kramer when he cannot sit down.
Later that evening, a resident asks Kramer to babysit her son, but the child mistakes Kramer's stilted gait - due to the jeans - as that of Frankenstein's monster. The child runs away from his own house to escape Kramer. Kramer (after getting his friend, Mickey, to substitute for the kid & lie in place of the kid in his bed) runs after him but is arrested by a cop who thinks Kramer is trying to kidnap the boy, and again faces problems in the interrogation room, due to the jeans that render him unable to sit.
