Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Jerry is pleased with finding a new suede jacket despite its eye-watering price tag and loud, striped lining, and Kramer gets his old leather jacket as a hand-me-down. Jerry and George get dragged along as social buffers to dinner with Elaine's father Alton, a noted author, and beg off when Kramer asks for a passenger while he is double-parked to pick up a magician's doves. George, with "Master of the House" from Les Misérables stuck in his head, and Jerry are intimidated and belittled by Alton's blunt, humorless, and curt manner, but find no escape as they wait for Elaine to arrive.
