Jerry's parents Morty and Helen Seinfeld come to New York City from Florida to see a back pain specialist. They ask Jerry about the watch they gave him. To cover up his having thrown it away, Jerry claims it will be in the repair shop for a week. George turns down his and Jerry's deal for a television pilot show with NBC, hoping NBC will offer them more money to get them to sign. Susan Ross and Jerry explain to George that the proffered deal is standard for first-time creators and that if they turn it down NBC will just buy a pilot from someone else, but he does not believe them. Susan also gives George a box of smuggled Cuban cigars as a gift from her father, but smoking them makes him nauseous, so he gives them to Kramer. Kramer repeatedly lights himself on fire while smoking them. While Morty is being examined at the doctor's office his wallet is stolen from his trousers, so he storms out without getting diagnosis or treatment. At dinner with Uncle Leo, Leo shows them his watch, the one they gave Jerry, telling them he found it in the garbage and got it repaired in one day. Elaine returns to town from her trip. She has been trying to end her relationship with her boyfriend, but he uses his position as her psychiatrist to convince her that breaking up with him would be unhealthy for her. She tries claiming that she has started a sexual relationship with Kramer, but he demands that Kramer contact him.
