Plot

At a party, George leaves with a co-worker, leaving Jerry and Elaine alone. After being up in the wee hours of the night, Kramer finally comes to pick them up. Later on, the man who threw the party comes to Jerry's Apartment, and when Jerry leaves, he invites a prostitute. When he doesn't pay the prostitute, the cops arrive and believe Jerry was the one who solicited the prostitute.

  • Explaining why he's patting his head to a tedious party guest (he's actually trying to get Elaine's attention) Jerry claims he's on L-DOPA, a drug used to treat Parkinson's Disease.
  • George Washington Carver (circa spring of 1864 – January 5, 1943), as mentioned by a party guest Elaine talks to, was an African-American known for teaching former South American slaves techniques for self-sufficiency and detailing over 300 uses of the peanut to maximize farming profitability. He did not, however, come up with the idea for Peanut Butter, as stated by the guest.
  • Jerry's attention-grabbing "Pendant? Those bastards!" is a recall of Elaine's father's exclamation in "The Jacket".
  • Jerry states his age is 36. This is a rare time a principal's age is referenced directly, although they are sometimes referred to as being in their late thirties.
  • Kramer tells a fragment of a story about doves referring an incident alluded to but not shown in "The Jacket".
  • This episode was filmed during Season 2, but because of Larry David's dissatisfaction with the episode, it did not air until season 3 as a "lost episode".
