The Baby Shower (Ep. 204)

Jerry is having problems with his television picture and Kramer convinces him to get illegal cable installed in his apartment. Elaine's friend, Leslie, asks her to throw her a baby shower and since Jerry's going to be out of town she throws it at his apartment. George also once dated Leslie and was "unequivocally the worst date of his life" and so therefore wants a chance to confront her. The Russians who are installing the illegal cable show up during the baby shower and then Jerry's shows in Buffalo are cancelled because of a blizzard. This sets up everyone to be in the apartment at one time and a really big scene.

Interesting quote: "She has [Lyme disease] in addition to Epstein-Barr. It's like Epstein-Barr with a twist of Lyme disease." - Elaine

Grade: D (A very boring episode. Probably the saving grace was the dream sequence Jerry had of being gunned down by police for having illegal cable.)
