- Jerry accepts an Armani suit from Kenny Bania, provided that he will treat him to a meal; Elaine dates a bounder from England; Kramer decides to eat fresh.
- Kramer convinces Jerry to get a free Armani suit from hack comic Kenny Bania. But when Bania decides that he doesn't want anything except for dinner, Jerry has a hard time accepting the suit knowing that there is a far greater catch involved. Things get even worse when, during the dinner, Bania insists that soup doesn't count as a meal. Meanwhile, Elaine has a British friend stay with her for a week.—Anonymous
- Jerry runs into Kenny Banya a not very funny comedian who brags that he's been working out and now has gone up one suit size. He offers Jerry a brand new Armani suit and Jerry reluctantly accepts. He only later learns that Banya's price for the suit is dinner but every time Jerry tries to pay him off, Banya finds an excuse to say next time. Elaine is back from a trip to England and a man she met there arrives soon after. Only he doesn't seem to be too interested in Elaine.—garykmcd
- George is flirting with Kelly (Tracy Kolis), a waitress from Monk's Cafe. Kelly, the waitress, and George go for a walk. George mentions how he likes the word "manure", and immediately after, Kelly makes a casual remark revealing that she has a boyfriend. Later, at Jerry's apartment, he and George speculate on the theory that she made that up to avoid George and whether or not the manure comment that George made had anything to do with it.
Elaine just returned from a trip to England with Mr. Pitt; she met a man there, Simon (Daniel Gerroll) who Elaine is flying over to the US with her frequent flier miles. Kenny Bania (Steve Hytner), an obnoxious comedian, offers Jerry a brand-new Armani suit for free. Bania delivers the suit, but he insists Jerry should buy him a meal in exchange.
After his kidney stone ("The Gymnast"), Kramer decides to dump his refrigerator to eat only fresh foods. Simon (Daniel Gerroll), the Englishman, has arrived but he is being arrogant with Elaine while in a taxicab.
Kramer goes to Jerry's apartment for food, not for himself, but for his hungry girlfriend Hildy (Linda Wallem) who is a waitress at Reggie's. At Mendy's restaurant Jerry is ready to eat dinner with Bania, but Bania only orders a soup, which, he says, cannot count as the "meal".
Simon is acting rude with Elaine, and he doesn't seem to have plans to return to England. He turns out to be a real "bounder". Simon borrows money from Elaine & Jerry & basically spends it all outside of his life with Elaine. Elaine's only comfort is that he has to return soon as Simon has no money or prospects in the US. George is feeling uncomfortable in Monk's with Kelly around, because the playful banter that he enjoyed with her before he asked her out has been replaced on her part with a cold formality that borders on rudeness. Bania joins George and Jerry at the coffee shop; this time he orders a soup and sandwich, Jerry believes his obligation is fulfilled, but Bania disagrees as they didn't eat in a fancy restaurant like Mendy's. With information provided by his girlfriend Hildy, Kramer informs George that Kelly doesn't have a boyfriend, so she did invent the story earlier.
In order to get rid of Bania, Jerry offers the Armani suit to Simon, who willingly accepts it. George is still uncomfortable at Monk's, and he badgers Jerry and Elaine to go to Reggie's, where Hildy works. However, when Hildy takes their order, they are informed that Reggie's doesn't offer the meals they have grown accustomed to at Monk's; e.g. Jerry's egg white omelet and Elaine's Big Salad. When they try to place them as special orders, Hildy gives them a hassle, leaving them frustrated, unsatisfied, and consequently, angry at George.
At his apartment, Jerry is out of food for Kramer's hungry girlfriend. Kramer is terrified as a result. Hildy is in a bad mood because she got fired after Kramer made too many calls to her workplace, so George decides to try the same trick with Kelly.
Back at Monk's, Kelly informs she isn't going to work there anymore. Kelly's boss (Lawrence Mandley), fed up with calls, says he will treat George as his "hand puppet". Bania attempts to reclaim the suit from Jerry. Simon, who has just flirted with a woman in front of Elaine, has a job interview thanks to the suit Jerry gave him, and he decides he might stay longer in the country. Elaine tells Bania where his suit is, and a heated Bania rushes outside the restaurant to confront the unsuspecting Simon. Jerry and Elaine, enjoying their egg-white omelet and Big Salad, salute each other in triumph.
The last shot of the episode is George eating by himself at Reggie's.
