The brilliance of "Seinfeld" lies in Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld being able to conjure magic out of very abstract ideas. They've proved this in the past with episodes like "The Parking Garage" or even, as recent as "The Parking Space". "The Trip Pt. 2" is no different, as Kramer is convicted of murdering a woman under an alias known as "The Smog Stranger".
Elaine is still absent in this season, but to be frank, her absence helps the plot move more smoothly. In this episode, Jerry and George attempt to vindicate Kramer of the murders by hitching a ride in a police car.
Jerry and George's argument about an egg salad sandwich for lunch is one of many examples of sublime writing on the show. Kramer's interrogation scene is hysterical, needless to say, Michael Richards nails physical and facial acting.
Kramer's indifference to him being accused of the murders was brilliant, as Jerry and George looked in disbelief! When Kramer is finally released, the three dance in celebration outside the police station. This was brilliant, as it shows that "Seinfeld" is a show not about sentimentality like "Friends" or "How I Met Your Mother" but a show where each character is too self centered to often notice the other. This occurs a lot in dialogue, where different characters would talk about their own dilemmas, without receiving any counseling by the others. "Seinfeld" is about nothing.
"The Trip Pt 2" is a wonderful wrap up to the two parter that opened the season.
