[edit] Plot

Jerry's parents come to town to see a back specialist, they hear about "Crazy" Joe Davola not liking Jerry and ask about the watch they gave him. George "negotiates" the deal with the NBC and gets a box of cigars from Susan Ross's father. While at the doctor's office Morty's wallet is "stolen". Elaine returns from her trip and tries to end her relationship with her shrink. The deal with NBC is lost.

[edit] Ending Epilogue

"Don't you hate 'to be continued' on TV. It's horrible when you sense the 'to be continued' coming. You know, you're watching the show. You're into the story. There's like five minutes left and suddenly you realize, 'Hey, they can't make it. Timmy's still stuck in the cave. There's no way they wrap this up in five minutes.' I mean, the whole reason you watch a TV show is because it ends. If I want a long boring story with no point to it, I have my life. A comedian can't do that, see. I can't go, 'A man walks into a bar with a pig under his arm... Can you come back next week?"

[edit] Trivia

  • This episode aired the same day as the premiere of Mad About You, which even had a crossover between the two shows that year.
  • This was the first episode to include Elaine in the fourth season. Julia Louis-Dreyfus was pregnant for part of the third season and was absent for the first three episodes of season four. The plotline of her in Europe and the guys in California allowed this to be.
  • The wallet was later revealed to be in Jerry's couch in The Pilot, Part 2.
