The Boyfriend, Part 1
Jerry meets his idol, former New York Mets baseball player Keith Hernandez and wants to make a good impression. Meanwhile, George is out of time on his unemployment and he works harder than ever on his scheme to get a 13-week extension. He tells the unemployment office he was close to a job with Vandelay Industries, a company that makes latex products and whose main office is Jerry’s apartment. Kramer and Newman accuse Hernandez of spitting on them during a Mets game at Shea Stadium; however, Jerry supports the “second-spitter theory” that Hernandez was not involved. Keith asks Jerry about Elaine’s status. Keith makes a date with her and breaks a date with Jerry.
The Boyfriend, Part 2
George tries two more approaches with the unemployment officer. Kramer gets Jerry to accompany him to see a former neighbors’ new baby, “you got to see the baby.” Elaine and Keith are hitting it off until he pulls out a cigarette. George wants to sleep with a really tall woman. Keith supports the “second spitter theory.” Jerry and Elaine both break up with Keith and George might get his wish.
