In "The Summer of George" George is fired by the NY Yankees but get severance pay for 3 months. He declares this to be the summer of George and decides to take the time to relax. Elaine makes fun of the new woman at work, only for this woman to start verbally abusing her. Kramer is a seat-filler at the Tonys, somehow ending up with an award of his own. He becomes a producer on the show and is tasked with firing Raquel Welch. Jerry dates a girl whose so busy he uses George as an assistant boyfriend to manage all their plans.
This is a nice little episode to finish off the season. It reminds me a bit of the Season 6 finale where they got Better Midler to appear as herself. It's a good setup for the final season, George's job status is again in flux, Kramer's up to his old shenanigans again, and the gang has a bit of deja vu with being back in the hospital again after an invitation mishap. This season might be a bit more up and down than seasons past but it still has some absolute gems in it, this being one of them.
