[edit] Plot Overview
After George makes an off-hand remark to a married couple with a rocky relationship, Jerry and Elaine wait in anticipation of their inevitable separation. Elaine sports a new hairstyle, starts driving again and almost makes Jerry car sick. Kramer starts wearing jeans again. The jeans are much too tight, so tight in fact, that he can't get them off when he really needs to. Elaine and Jerry make plans to move in on the separated couple, which they do. George feels guilty about breaking up the marriage and wishes to undo the damage. Jerry and Elaine physically oppose this action. David returns the off-hand remark to George in the presence of Susan. She tells George she has to think about some things- he thinks it is his ticket out.

- Overall Grade: C-, 1 review
- Review Breakdown: A+: 0 A: 0 A-: 0 B+: 0 B: 0 B-: 0 C+: 0 C: 0 C-: 1 D: 0 F: 0
- C-: The declining influence of Larry David is shown in this episode, which is pretty typical exaggerated sitcom fluff. Many of the scenes (such as the "fight" in Jerry's apartment and Elain driving the car) could have taken place in Friends or like shows without looking out of pace. The irony of old has diminished, aside from George inadvertently helping himself (in the past this would have been a larger part of the episode). The dialogue; wholly unfunny. Another example of a latter Seinfeld episode with a decent premise and no follow through. --MateoP 19:01, 7 August 2006 (EDT)
