The Beard (Ep. 616)

Elaine pretends to be a girlfriend for a gay man so that his boss isn't suspicious.  Elaine likes him so much that she tries to get him to actually date her and give up his homosexual ways.  It works, but only for a brief time.  George is still wearing his toupee and Kramer thinks he looks good so he sets him up with an old friend.  It later turns out that she is bald and not interested in George so she rejects him.  Jerry dates a police officer who makes an off-handed comment about Melrose Place and Jerry lies saying that he's never seen it.  She doesn't believe him and so she puts him to a lie detector test and he's discovered.

Interesting quote: "When someone is lying, is it true that their pants are actually on fire?" - Jerry
