The story

Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Susan and George confess that Kramer burned down Susan's father's cabin with one of the very cigars he gave George. Jerry complains that Elaine's receptionist, Sandra, is too chatty, but then must make nice to stop her quitting. They end up on an amorous date, but Jerry scares Sandra off by awkwardly reciprocating her dirty talk, and must stop this gossip getting back to Elaine. Kramer illicitly bargains with Cuban diplomats for more cigars to buy into the country club. Jerry and George hunker down to write their sitcom pilot, fruitlessly. A trove of love letters from novelist John Cheever to Susan's father is salvaged from the fire.
