Jerry is the unwitting cause of Elaine's boyfriend falling off the wagon. Elaine gets George a job, so he buys her a gift, an $85 cashmere sweater. The sweater has a little red dot on it; hence the price. Elaine gives it back, then George gives it to the cleaning woman, to keep her quiet about them having sex on his desk. George gets fired.

- At the end of the episode, Elaine asks Jerry "When you do you consider sex has taken place?" Jerry replies, "I would say when the nipple makes its first appearance." ... In the future episode "The Pick" (4-13), Jerry notices that, in Elaine's picture on her Christmas card photo, her nipple is showing. edit »
- There is not really a red dot on the sweater. They just put something removable and somehow visible up close, so all the actors knew what they were looking at when they "noticed" the red dot. (The red dot is positioned on the bottom left side of the sweater.) edit »

Jerry: How was it?
George: The sex was good, but I threw up from the Hennigan's.
Jerry: Good thing the cleaning woman was there. edit » - Jerry: You want an overview? I see a very cheap man holding a damaged sweater, trying to get away with something. That's my overview. edit »
