Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Susan invites George and Jerry to her father's cabin upstate for the weekend, but Naomi discovers Jerry's mockery of her laugh and drops out. Jerry becomes obliged to make a stop to visit a young fan, an immunodeficient "bubble boy", for his birthday. George races ahead to gratuitously "make good time", leaving Jerry and Elaine behind without directions. Jerry donates a signed photo to a diner, then tries to take it back. Susan and George are forced to keep the ill-mannered bubble boy company. Kramer's weekend golfing at a country club is preempted, so he heads to the cabin unannounced with Naomi.
