Crazy Joe Returns
George has tickets to opening night at the Met. He got them from Susan but she can't go. Things work out to where George, Elaine, Jerry, and Kramer are going, though Jerry puts up a hissy fit. It is revealed that Elaine has been dating Crazy Joe Davola who has just threatened Jerry with the big kibosh. When everyone is scared, it is revealed that the tickets are worth a small fortune, so George (anything for a buck) Costanza and Kramer begin to scalp their tickets. Suddenly, Susan, who thought she would miss this night, shows up because her flight is cancelled. Anyway it gets even more interesting. Another funny thing is that Kramer's Cuban cigars were all burned in the fire and he goes to the Cuban embassy to gets some more, with hilarious results. Superb comedy.
