Recap / Seinfeld S 6 E 9 The Secretary

Go To

George hires an average-looking secretary to avoid distractions, but it backfires when he ends up having sex with her. Elaine is convinced that the mirrors being used at a clothing store are part of a scam. Jerry thinks his dry cleaner stole his jacket. Kramer manages to acquire the phone number of Uma Thurman...on Jerry's dry-cleaning ticket.


Tropes:

  • Didn't Think This Through:
    • Kramer sells a suit he bought at Barney’s to Kenny Bania for 300 dollars...without thinking about how he is unable to be seen in public without a spare set of clothes since he’s in his underwear. Jerry calls him out on this. Kramer's response?
    Kramer: I didn't think ahead!
    • Elaine walked out of Barney’s while wearing a dress she considered buying there to see how she looks in it from the view of a normal mirror due to not trusting the mirror present at Barney’s, but when she returns, the manager refuses to keep the dress on account of seeing how dirty it got, forcing Elaine to pay for it. Exactly how did Elaine think she would wear a dress to another mirror outside of the store without getting it dirty?
  • Loophole Abuse: Since Jerry doesn't have the ticket stub for his mom's fur coat, Willy can't give the fur coat back to him (nor is he able to give it to him since he gave it to some woman).
  • "Shaggy Dog" Story: Jerry goes through hell and high water (including agreeing to eat with Bania) to get a ticket for his mother's fur coat, but he finds the woman who got the fur coat from Willy at Barney's, making his entire effort pointless.
