At the end of the episode, David and Beth get back together again.
The Yada Yada[]
Beth makes her second (and final) appearance in "The Yada Yada". She and David have divorced and she is now married to a man named Arnie. They attempt to adopt a child, only to have Elaine (accidentally) mention Arnie's temper. Elaine tries to repair the damage she has done, but the couple break up and Beth begins to date Jerry. She accompanies him to Mickey's wedding, where she initially shares Jerry's dislike of dentists before stating, "Not to mention the blacks and the Jews." Jerry promptly dumps her.
Relationship with Jerry[]
Jerry seems to find Beth attractive, going as far as to "wait out" her wedding with David. After the couple separates, Jerry and Beth start a platonic relationship, with Jerry hoping to date Beth. In "The Yada Yada", Jerry and Beth do begin dating, but when Beth is revealed to be racist and Anti-Semitic, he dumps her.
