Jerry, Elaine, Kramer, and David Puddy go to two Stanley Cup playoff games; Kramer holds a grudge against a chimpanzee who hit him with a banana peel; George resolves to take the dramatic step of telling his girlfriend he loves her.

Jerry scores premium tickets to a New Jersey Devils playoff game. He invites Kramer, Puddy, and Elaine along. But Jerry gets weirded out when Puddy shows up at the game and paints his face to match the team colors. Puddy gets so worked up after the game that he freaks out a visiting pastor from El Salvador, who is convinced that Puddy really is the devil. Elaine tries to convince him otherwise. Kramer enjoyed the game so much that he tries to convince Jerry to get more tickets from the guy Jerry got them from. Meanwhile, George decides to tell his girlfriend that he loves her, only to have the plans backfire on him while Kramer battles a chimpanzee at the zoo.—halo1k

Jerry gets tickets to a Rangers-Devils playoff game from Alec Berg, someone he and Elaine dislike. When George opts not to go Elaine gets Jerry's okay to bring her boyfriend Puddy. No is quite prepared for Puddy's level of enthusiasm however. George didn't go to the game so he could keep a date with his new girlfriend Siena. He decides to take a leap of faith and tells her he loves her. Her response is not quite what he was hoping for. When Jerry fails to call Berg the next day to thank him, he suddenly finds himself getting the cold shoulder.—garykmcd

Jerry stubbornly refuses to give the "necessary" follow-up courtesy thank you to a friend, Alec Berg (Mark DeCarlo), for the hockey tickets. Berg had season tickets to some great seats, and he wasn't using them for that day's game. Kramer says that it is common courtesy to call and thank again the next day. Jerry argues that he thanked enough when Berg gave him the tickets and Jerry is taking a stand against over thanking.

Elaine's boyfriend David Puddy (Patrick Warburton) (who's a big New Jersey Devils fan) paints his face when he goes to a Stanley Cup playoff game against the New York Rangers. Jerry, Kramer Elaine and Puddy had gone together on the tickets gifted to them by Berg. After the game, his rowdy behavior and his painted devil-like face makes a priest (Pierrino Masacarino) believe that he has seen the devil. Elaine finds that the priest is in a shock at seeing the Devil and won't leave his room in the church basement.

Later on, Jerry attends a funeral for Gary Fogel ("The Scofflaw"). Gary was the guy who was pretending to have cancer; he died in a car accident while he was adjusting his toupee. Jerry sees Berg, but he gives an indifferent look, leading Jerry to think it was because he didn't thank him.

Elaine is upset that Puddy is a face-painter, and demands he stops, or she breaks up with him. He agrees, and instead of going to the next game with his face painted, he goes with his chest painted with the letter 'D' to spell out DEVILS.

Kramer tries to make Jerry call and give the courtesy thank you to Alec Berg; Jerry finally gives in and calls Berg to give the thank you, but Berg says that Jerry should have thanked him earlier because he gave away the next playoff tickets to someone else, but had a spare couple only for one condition - both Jerry and Kramer reluctantly attend the game with Puddy and his Devil friends in which their chests are painted DEVILS (Jerry and Kramer are 'E' and 'V', respectively).

At the end of the episode, Elaine visits the priest who is recovering from "seeing the devil." She is wearing white and a light shine right behind her, leading the priest to believe he has now seen the Virgin Mary.

Subplot George, after seeing how interested his girlfriend Siena (Katy Selverstone) is in his opinions on toilet paper (George points out that while humans have evolved in all spheres, yet the toilet paper has remained unchanged for many hundreds of years), decides to tell her that he loves her. He gets no return, however. Jerry argues that toilet paper has changed. It has become softer, more sheets per roll and a wide variety of colors.

He's upset until he learns from Kramer that she doesn't hear well out of one ear. He attempts to tell her again in her different ear, only to find out she did indeed hear him the first time.

Meanwhile, Kramer has an altercation (involving a banana peel) with a chimpanzee at the zoo where Siena works. Kramer says that the monkey hit him in the face with a banana peel and Kramer responded in kind. Kramer is later forced to apologize to the chimpanzee that he hit with the banana peel, as the monkey is depressed, lost its appetite and suppressed its auto-erotic activities as well. But the monkey insults him by spraying water on him and Kramer gets in a little tussle.
