Plot summary

Jerry starts dating a woman whose name he cannot remember ( Susan Walters ), and intends to find out without asking. Elaine reconnects with Roy, a starving artist ex-boyfriend, who is now slim and desirable after losing weight from heartbreak over her. With Roy hospitalized for a splenectomy, Kramer drags Jerry along to watch the surgery, but Jerry fights off a Junior Mint he offers, sending it flying into Roy's body unnoticed. George spends a small windfall from a bank account to speculate on Roy's death by buying his art. Jerry's roundabout efforts reveal only that the mystery woman's name rhymes with an unknown female body part.
