Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Forced to attend elder relative Manya's anniversary dinner with his visiting parents, Jerry acts out by reviling everyone privileged to own a pony growing up. He inadvertently tars Manya with the same brush for her proud rustic upbringing in her native Poland. When Manya suddenly dies afterwards, Jerry considers skipping her funeral for he and George's softball team's championship game, while Jerry's father Marty laments giving up his cheap return airfare. Kramer boasts that he will replace all the furniture in his apartment with staired "levels", and bets Jerry dinner. At the funeral, Elaine vies to take over Manya's rent-controlled apartment.
