If you can tell me the logic of the title The Beard for this episode... reply!!!

Jerry begins to date a cop, but she wants him to take a lie detector test, she thinks he is lying about NOT watching Melrose Place. b: 9 Feb 95 pc: 615 w: Carol Leifer d: Andy Ackerman

Thanks The Sherp

I believe they explained that a beard is a slang term for a female date used by a gay man as a decoy to cover up his own sexual orientation ( not that there's etc etc ).

That was Elaine's role in this episode.
