- While Elaine is depressed about the low quality of her apartment, Jerry overhears Harold (Glenn Shadix) and Manny (Tony Plana), the managers of his apartment building, discussing a death that makes an apartment available. Shocked by the low rent of $400 per month, Jerry immediately tells Elaine that he will be able to get her the apartment above his. She is extremely excited to hear this, as she will be able to live near Jerry.
Though excited at first, Jerry later realizes how intrusive Elaine might become, and that living with her might get annoying. Elaine is already talking about exchanging keys and envisages spending all of her time at Jerry's apartment. He discusses his problem with George. George says that Jerry will be forced to have sex at the women's apartment, and it will be like a permanent road trip. Jerry says he needs the home bed advantage. Jerry discusses how to discourage Elaine from taking the apartment. He says that the water pressure in the building is too low, but George says that for the low rent Elaine will put up with anything.
The topic of their conversation changes and they eventually talk about wearing a wedding ring to a party, to see how women will react. George says that women have been coming onto his friend, ever since he got married and started wearing a wedding band. George dislikes the idea at first, but eventually borrows one from Jerry's neighbor Kramer (Michael Richards) to experiment.
Jerry still worries about Elaine, but Harold and Manny inform him that someone else has bid higher than Elaine and will get the apartment unless Elaine is able to pay $5,000. Elaine is very disappointed when she hears the news, but Jerry tries to hide his happiness as now Elaine wont get the apartment naturally, and he wouldn't have to resort to any silly lies to dissuade her from taking it. However, Kramer convinces Jerry to lend Elaine the money. Jerry is forced as he doesn't want to show that he doesn't want Elaine to get the apartment. After Elaine leaves, Jerry tells Kramer that he doesn't want Elaine in the building as his neighbor. When Elaine, Jerry and George go to a party of a friend of Elaine, Elaine asks Jerry if it would be uncomfortable for them to live so close to each other. Elaine walks away from Jerry before he can answer her. Elaine believes that everything is OK and Jerry doesn't mind with her being in his apartment all the time.
George's wedding ring plan backfires, as he discovers that wearing the ring is actually causing women who would otherwise date him to reject him. George has thrown a lifetime of guilt free sex with a woman who can have a strictly physical relationship for years and years. He has also thrown away court side seats to every sporting event at Madison Square Garden, with a woman who works for the Director.
Jerry feels stupid for not telling Elaine the truth, but, the following day, Kramer informs him that he found somebody who is willing to pay $10,000 for the apartment. However, Kramer's friend, a musician, plays loud music all day long, and Jerry regrets not letting Elaine rent the apartment.
