I've never seen this question posed (or posted) before, so here it is: In this season's "The Bookstore", there doesn't seem to be an end. If this doesn't make sense, allow me to elaborate. In every episode, there are 4 parts, the opening (followed by a commercial), long part (commercial), long part (commercial), closing. Both times "The Bookstore" was aired, they preempted the closing with (first airing) a Mad About You commercial and (second airing) the "Must See Tv-Learn English thru ER" commercial. I watched both airings in 2 different states, so is it just the Mid- Atlantic/east coast feed, or is this the *only* episode of Seinfeld to not have an end? Or, will I have to wait until November or so for the syndicate to air the ending? I don't know if anyone remembers, but the syndicate "The Non-Fat Yogurt" shows extra scenes of Guiliani, whereas the NBC version just had the voice. Any thoughts on this?
this episode, again it doesn't have the ending. Any thoughts?
No, "The Bookstore" has no tag for some reason. One wonders if they shot one they weren't happy with, or just thought it would be a better episode without one. Usually the tag serves to tie up one of the 4 plot lines.

I think the ending was ok without a tag. it ended with Jerry yelling
"Swarm! Swarm!" and the bookstore security guys jumped on George. It
was a good laugh at the end of the episode, and it tied together the
Uncle Leo and George threads nicely.

It sort of left us in the dark about the Elaine tagline though. Was she actually able to dump the guy she never dated, or did she have to stay with him while he was recovering from injuries suffered from being hit by the rickshaw? That's what I expected to see during the closing seconds.

I see your point, but surely we *know* Lainie by now. Remember Owen
Marsh in "The Alternate Side"? The 66 year old man she dumped because
he had a stroke and she didn't want to take care of him?

But she did not dump him. (at least not right away) She was feeding him soup and reading him books. Didn't she say he was just in the relationship for the sex so he did not feel dumped.
Actually, the reason she gave for dumping him was because the commute
out to his home was a bitch. Then she told Jerry it was the sex.
Obviously both of these are excuses. The real reason was because she
didn't want to take care of a stroke victim. And I don't think she
would have even considered helping the non-boyfriend through detox if
not for Peterman's involvement.

But she was going to dump the old guy before he had the stroke. In fact, he had it right as she was about to do it, IIRC. One of her biggest complaints was that she wouldn't have to take care of him if she'd only been quicker.

I stand corrected. I had forgotten about that, maybe because I was laughing.
What's a "tag"? Is that the final scene you see AFTER the show ends in that freeze frame and goes to commercial?
