Fans help each other recall specific plot details from episodes including The Letter, The Secretary, and The Label Maker, discussing character motivations and event sequences.
Although I have seen the episodes below, I've forgotten some plot details and these haven't been shown in syndication yet. Does anyone recall the answers to the questions below?
In The Letter, why does Elaine go to Yankee Stadium (where she is ejected for wearing an Oriole cap) and why does she return?
In The Secretary, why does Kramer sell Bania his clothes in the fitting room?
In The Label Maker - does anyone recall the sequence of events leading to the passing of the 2 SuperBowl tickets so that Jerry ends up sitting with Newman?
Elaine first goes with the gang after Jerry's artistic girlfriend gives Jerry the tickets. Apparently her father is the accountant for either the team or the owner (or something along that idea.) She wears the hat and gets them thrown out. The picture of the incident appears in the paper, and she fear her boss (who she lied to, and went to the game instead of a bris that her boss wanted her at) saw the picture. Later, Elaines boss gets the tickets, through HIS accountant, who 'does accounting work for the Yankees' and eggs Elaine on to bring her baseball cap.
In The Label Maker - I believe Jerry gave the tickets to a friend who gets Elaine to go with him, 'cause he thinks he's on his way to a "Super Bowl sex romp". Elaine, when miffed about the hotel sleeping arrangements, bows out, and the friend gives one ticket to Newman. Jerry, later tries to get the tickets back, but finds he can only have one seat. The rest is history.
In The Secretary - I don't remember there being a good reason why Kramer sells Bania his clothes, except for the money. He just doesn't think ahead that he'll need other clothes.
Was this the same episode where Bania gives Jerry the Armani in return for a dinner? Jerry, when fed up with Bania's demands (a soup doesn't count as a meal), gives the suit to Elaine's freeloading English friend.
I know that in the Letter, Elaine, George and Kramer get free
owner's box tickets from jerry's Artist Girlfriend (the one who paints
Kramer), becuase her father is the Yankee's accountant, (as well as
Pendant Publishing Accountant). Jerry had to go out of town to do a show
and that's why he didnt go. Jerry's girlfriend's (Nina???) father comes
down to see them at the game and asks Elaine to remove the cap...she
refuses, and she gets kicked out...She throws George's cap off, and
Kramer gets hit in the head with a baseball while retrieving George's
cap.
Later on, Mr Littman asks Elaine to go to a baseball game, becuase
his accountant has given him owner's box tickets...he tells her to wear
her Baltimore cap cos he wants to "have a little fun with it"...
Jerry and Goerge are watching the game and the commentators are commenting on a fiesty woman going at it with the security guard just behind the Yankees dugout. J and G realise it's Elaine!
The Secretary is not the Armani for a meal episode. Don't remember the details, but the suit that Kramer sells to Bania supposedly has Uma Thurman's phone # in one of the pockets and Jerry makes another deal with Bania - that suit for 2 meals at Mendy's.

Opening monologue: Was about woman in fur. Jerry and George at dry cleaners. Talking about George having to hire a secretary. Willie the dry cleaner waits on Jerry. Jerry is bring in his mothers fur coat for storage. Donna, Willie's wife, comments on the fur. Willie comments on a jacket that Jerry is having cleaned. He , Willie, keeps commenting how nice the jacket is. George is now interviewing. He is determined to hire based on efficiency, not looks. Of course, some really pretty girls have to be rejected. "Looking at you I can't even remember my name." He finally has an interview with a very plain girl named Ada (Vicki Lewis). Elaine comes into the apartment complaining about a dress she bought at Barney's. It looked great at the store, but at home, not so great. She goes to put it on to show Jerry. George comes in, ecstatic about hiring Ada. Elaine comes out with dress on. It does look horrible! George and Jerry both hate it. Elaine is perplexed, why did it look so good at the store? "SKINNY MIRRORS!" That's it, they are tricking the consumer by using "skinny mirrors" in the store. Makes you look 10 lbs. Lighter! In slides Kramer, reaction to dress. Elaine mentions Barney's, Kramer needs some Super Hydrating Triple Action Moisturizer. He makes a "date" with Elaine to go to Barny's together, they could do lunch, get to know each other! At Yankee Stadium, George and Ada work well together. She is bright, and has some great suggestions. George is overwhelmed with her organization, and the way she knows what George is thinking, even before he says it! George wonders, out load, if she knew what he was now thinking. She thought so. He asks if it was "doable?" They embrace, and fall to the floor! Jerry and Elaine exit the movies. Elaine comments how terrible it was, and says who the murderer was, and the patrons standing in line to get in do not appreciate it. Where is Kramer? He is getting Uma Thurman's phone number! Jerry comments how Kramer has "Kavorka." As the line moves into the movie, Jerry thinks he sees Willie with Jerry's jacket on going into the movie! Back at Yankee Stadium, George is rounding third and headed for home! Ada is even efficient with her love-making, many grunts, groans and a well positioned pillow cause George to yell out in ecstasy......"I'm giving you a raise!" At Tom's, George and Jerry discuss the ramifications of George's statement. George is not authorized to give raises. Can he dismiss it as "Bawdy Talk?" No, he will have to speak to Steinbrenner, ask for a raise for Ada. She has only worked for 3 days, Jerry states that "That's ALMOST a week" and the get up to pay and leave. Jerry reaches into his jacket pocket, and finds a movie stub! Willie MUST have worn his jacket that night! Elaine and Kramer are at Barney's. The mirrors are False Reflecting! Salesgirl tells Elaine to pick something else. In walks Kenny Banyon (The Suit). He is looking for a new suit. He likes Kramer's "Classic" suit that he has on. What size is it? 42, that's my size, I've been working out, I'm HUGE. Give you $100, $175, OK, $300.00! SOLD! Kramer goes into the Woman's Dressing Room, takes off suit and sells to Banyon. George & George, in Steinbrenner's office. GC gives a sob story about Ada, needs a raise, GS's phone rings, GC leaves empty-handed. Kramer is still in dressing room. Elaine is in next booth trying on another dress. Kramer climbs up the wall, tells Elaine to call Jerry, and have him bring some clothes down for Kramer. Jerry confronts Willie at the Dry Cleaners! Go to any movies lately??? Maybe the 9:30 show at the Paragon??? With my jacket on??? Willie denies it, says that it is against the Dry Cleaners Code to wear the clothing! But, Jerry has the movie ticket right here! Willie thinks of his wife, wearing Jerry's mom's fur coat. Jerry wants his Mom's fur coat NOW! But, Jerry doesn't have the ticket. (He gave it to Kramer, to write Uma's phone number on!). Willie's out is he will not give back the fur without the ticket! Elaine still at Barney's. Has a dress on, but unsure. Can't trust the mirrors! Back at Yankee Stadium. Ada is so thankful to George for getting her a raise. She mentions a $25000.00 raise! Now she is making MORE than George! Elaine is looking at her reflection in store windows, outside the store. She asks people on the street what they think of the dress. Jerry is in store, looking for the Super Hydrating, Triple Action Moisturizing Cream. Kramer hears his voice and calls out. Jerry, confused, walks to the woman's dressing room. Elaine comes back in, she don't like the dress, show me something else! NO, you got to buy that one, you got salt on it from the sidewalks outside! Banyon comes back, he wants his money back, there is moisturizing cream all over the suit. Jerry wants the ticket stub, but it is in the suit Banyon has. Kramer refuses that refund. Jerry has to negotiate with Banyon for the DC Ticket. Banyon wants dinner, a nice dinner, at Mendy's, TWICE! GC & GS back in the office. George laments that his secretary now makes more money than he! GS breaks into a log, long, story about him having to work on a bakery truck as a kid. George (C) slowly backs out of the office as the story drags on. Jerry gets the ticket from Banyon. This is no good, the cream washed away the ticket number! AND Uma's phone number! Just then, Jerry sees Willie's wife going into another dressing room, with the FUR COAT! Jerry attacks! Takes coat and says "Do you people think that the Dry Cleaners is your personal closet?" Next see Jerry, Elaine and Kramer, walking down street, all disgusted, Kramer wearing the coat! Banyon and Jerry at Mendy's. Pea Soup! Banyon debates where they will go for their next dinner. Mentions that he is meeting some girl for a drink. He got her number from the ticket he found in Kramer's suit pocket (Uma). Closing monologue: about restaurants. Mentioned that waiters always mention today's specials. "If they were so special, they'd be on the MENU!"

The Suit Episode #90 Air Date: 11/10/94
George and Jerry sit at the diner discussing relationships. The waitress Kelly (Tracy Kolis) kids around with George. Maybe there is more here than meets the eye. Elaine returns from a 5 day trip with Mr. Pitt to England. She is flying in a guy she met there on her frequent flyer miles. In walks Kenny Banyon (Stephen Hytner) an annoying comedian who knows Jerry. Kenny has been working out (He's HUGE) went from a size 40 to 42. Asks Jerry if he wants an Armani suit that no longer fits him. Jerry reluctantly agrees to take the suit. Kenny says he'll drop it off at Jerry's. Outside the restaurant, George agonizes if he should ask Kelly out or not. At Jerry's apt., Kramer needs help moving his refrigerator, he is only going to eat FRESH items from now on. Kenny Banyon walks in with the suit. Kramer wants Jerry to try on the jacket and can't believe that he is giving it to Jerry for free. Banyon says that Jerry can "take me out to dinner sometime." In a taxi, Elaine and Simon (guy from England) are immediately muttering under their breath. While George and Kelly share their "day date" (a walk through Central Park) discuss the word "manure." Kelly mentions that her BOYFRIEND likes watches! In the apartment, George and Jerry discuss the "date." Jerry suggests that maybe she "called an audible," and that she made the whole "boyfriend" up because that "date" was not going well. Kramer drops in to mention that he is dating "a full figured gal." Phone rings, it's Kenny, wants to know if he could get his meal today. Jerry agrees to meet him at Mendy's @ 7. At Mendy's, Kenny is not too hungry so he orders soup. They then proceed to argue over the original agreement for a meal. Jerry states "this IS the dinner, the soup counts!" On Elaine's front porch, Jerry and Elaine discuss the soup. Cup or Bowl? Crackers in soup? Simon comes out and borrows $20.00 from Jerry. George and Jerry are back at Monk's. There is tension in the air when Kelly is no longer "joking" with George. Kenny walks in and invites himself to their table. Jerry tells Kenny to order something. He gets soup and a sandwich. AGAIN, they argue if this is THE MEAL! Kramer comes in, he asked Hildy about Kelly, tells George that Kelly has no boyfriend, she made it all up! Back at Jerry's apt., Jerry, Elaine and Simon, with Kenny on phone (again). The suit = 1 sandwich and 2 bowls of soup! Jerry is so mad, he gives the suit to Simon. George can no longer face Kelly, he does not want to go into Monk's. Suggests that they go to Reggie's. At Reggie's, Hildy is their waitress. Elaine attempts to order a "Big Salad" but it ain't on the menu and there is no substitutions! How can George get Kelly fired? Kramer bursts into the apartment, he NEEDS food, not for him, for his girlfriend Hildy! She is MAD, she NEEDS food. She got fired from Reggie's because Kramer kept calling her at work. Before you can even see George, he is dialing the phone! Back at Monk's, Elaine orders her Big Salad, and Jerry is happy with his "white" omelet sandwich. Monk is on the phone, telling George to stop calling! Walks over to Jerry's table and advises him that the next time he sees their short, fat friend, he is going to make a hand puppet out of him! Kenny demands his suit back, Jerry says it's too late, he gave it away. While Kenny sits at the counter, Simon enters, saying his luck has changed, he has an interview lined up, he owes it all to Jerry for giving him "this suit." As Simon leaves Monk's, Elaine yells over to Kenny, "Hey Banyon, you want you suit back? There it goes!" Kenny rockets out the door and you hear a scuffle outside. As the final credit roll, we see George eating alone in Reggie's.
