- Kramer convinces Jerry to get illegal cable. Elaine holds a baby shower for a former girlfriend of George, on whom he wants revenge for a callous incident.
- Jerry is going to be out of town for the weekend and Elaine gets his OK to use his apartment to host a baby shower for an old college friend, Leslie. George remembers her all too well as they had been out on a disastrous date two years before. He always regretted not telling her exactly what he thought of her. Kramer meanwhile has been after Jerry to get an illegal cable hook-up from his Russian friends. Jerry reluctantly agrees - but he has visions of the FBI descending upon him. When Jerry returns home unexpectedly after bad weather cancels his trip, he arrives in the middle of the baby shower as do the oafish Russians to install the cable. George gets his chance to tell Leslie what he thinks of her - if he can get the courage to do so.—garykmcd
- Elaine holds a baby shower for her friend Leslie (Christine Dunford) at Jerry's apartment, while Jerry is performing in Buffalo. George is excited, as he expects the baby shower to be the perfect opportunity to confront the woman (Leslie) who gave him the worst date of his life by pouring Bosco chocolate sauce on his red collared shirt while doing performance art. Leslie dragged George to a warehouse to watch her performance, where she is cooking dinner for God. George claims that she was aiming the sauce right at him, and his new red shirt. George wanted to yell and scream at her, but when he met her backstage, he never even uttered a word, and instead started grovelling in front of her. Leslie then left with someone else, without even apologizing to George. George still has the shirt. Elaine says that Leslie asked her to organize the baby shower, and Elaine has trouble saying no to her.
Jerry is frustrated by his television's bad reception and is convinced by Kramer to have cable illegally installed by two Russians (Vic Polizos and James Lashly). They charge a one-time fee of $150, for 56 channels including sports, movies and nudity, which are free for life. Jerry is afraid that sirens will go off every time he switches on the TV, but is convinced when Kramer says that the Mets have 75 games on cable this year.
As Jerry is sleeping on the plane, he dreams of returning to his apartment only to find several FBI agents there interrogating Kramer, who apparently has ratted out Jerry. When Jerry protests that he had nothing to do with it, they reveal that the Russian was an undercover FBI agent. Jerry tries to flee only to be gunned down by the agents. This jolts him awake. He finds his show is canceled due to bad weather, and George picks up Jerry at the airport.
Jerry is initially amazed that George is perfectly willing, even anxious to drive Jerry home. When he informs George they cannot go back to his apartment because of the baby shower, George insists, and Jerry discovers that George is wearing the red shirt and is just using the favor as a chance to encounter Leslie at the baby shower. George has a whole nasty speech prepared to confront Leslie, but Jerry is clear that George will never say all of those things to Leslie to her face.
Meanwhile, Kramer and the two Russians crash the shower to install cable television, start to eat all the food and get into a heated argument. When George and Jerry arrive, George's plan proves unsuccessful, as he cannot muster the courage confront Leslie and instead awkwardly tries to curry her favor. He is interrupted when one of the other party guests suddenly confronts Jerry because he never called her back after a date. This unpleasant scene is the final straw, and the guests leave hurriedly. On the way out of the bathroom the angry woman bumps Leslie and her dessert into George, adding a chocolate cake stain to the Bosco stain already on the shirt.
Jerry changes his mind about the cable hook-up but is still charged with a large amount of money of $400. When he refuses to pay, the Russians break the picture tube of his television set.
