George's parents contemplate getting a divorce. Jerry dates a woman with an Asian surname but is not an Asian ethnic. Kramer becomes anxious about his sperm count. Elaine's friend Noreen dates a man named Paul who has a habit of talking too much.
Tropes:
- Driven to Suicide:
- Played for Laughs. When Donna tells George that his parents are thinking of divorcing, he sticks his head in Jerry's oven.
- Noreen attempts to do this in The Tag, but Frank's caped lawyer stops her in time.
- Hope Spot: When Estelle decides to not divorce Frank after getting advice from Donna, she soon decides to reinstate the divorce just because she thought Donna lied to her about her ethnicity.Jerry: You really should think about changing your name.
- Skewed Priorities: Frank is a lot more concerned that Jerry and Elaine didn't greet when seeing him on the street, though the fact he was speaking to a stranger might have had something to do with it.
- What Happened to the Mouse?: The episode ends with Kramer telling his clique that Noreen is late, suggesting that she has Kramer's seed, but it is never mentioned again in the series.
- You Talk Too Much!: Paul. This is eventually the reason why Noreen dumps him.
