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 (Stephen McHattie). The deal with NBC is lost.

Production

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 plot line of her in Europe and the guys in California allowed this to be. Elaine receives applause from the audience when she enters. Kramer is the only other character of the main four to get applauded.

Cultural references

The wallet was later revealed to be in Jerry's couch in The Pilot, Part 2.
