Spoilers ahead. Coverage follows the scope labeled below.

Plot summary

Elaine addresses Jerry and George as a closeted gay couple as a prank when she notices an eavesdropper, not knowing this is Sharon ( Paula Marshall ), a journalism student who is interviewing Jerry for an article. Sharon develops a gay angle for her story, which is backed up when she sees Jerry and George bicker like an old married couple. Kramer's birthday gift of a defective two-line phone causes Jerry to dig himself deeper with Sharon. Major newspapers pick up the story, forcing Jerry and George to confront their shocked parents. Despite everyone's protestations, they all concur "not that there's anything wrong with that".
