Ok. This was forwarded to me. I have no idea whether any of it is factual, or if it's simply someone's ramblings, or a fan-written concept being passed off as insider information. So if it all turns out to be a crock of sh*t, well then I can't be blamed.

But, if it turns out to be true, remember where you heard it first.

Spoiler. Scroll down to read the plotlines, or delete this post immediately if you want to shield yourself from unwanted information.

According to my sources, whom I cannot reveal or else our very way of life would forever be altered, below is an outline of the final episode of Seinfeld. If you don't want to ruin it, then don't read...but you will anyway. You just can't help yourself. It's human nature.

Scene 1: Jerry's kitchen

Jerry discusses a career move with Elaine and George. A California agent is offering a variery TV show, guest appearances, a huge home in Beverly Hills and plenty of young starlets and models to escort him to parties. The catch? Jerry must move to the West Coast. He decides to go and Elaine and George, having nothing better to do, decide to accompany him and help pick out a house.

Scene 2: A Beverly Hills mansion

A charming, handsome real estate broker is showing Jerry, Elaine and George the home. Elaine is enthralled with the gentleman and after determining he is divorced AND wealthy, makes her moves while Jerry tries to get details about the house.

Scene 3: Hotel bar

Jerry, Elaine and George are celebrating Jerry's decision to buy the mansion and Jerry is convinced gorgeous women are already giving him the eye. Elaine announces she has a date with the broker and has good feelings he could be "the one." George, feeling left out, decides to go off by himself.

Scene 4: Jerry's hotel room

Jerry is awakened by pounding on his door. It is George and he is beside himself with excitement. Seems he met a big newspaper executive who was also a huge Yankees' fan. When George told him he was way up in the Yankee organization (George wasn't completely honest about his departure) the man offered him a terrific position at the newspaper as a TV critic. The downside? George has to watch a great deal of TV. George: "The DOWNSIDE,Jerry, the DOWNSIDE! This is it Jerrry! My dream come true!"

Scene 5: Hotel restaurant

Jerry and George meet Elaine for breakfast where spirits are high. George decides he needs a house, too so Elaine suggests her new love. Jerry hints how he and George will miss her. Elaine smirks and says, "Maybe not!" Seems her new man wants her to come and spend time at his house and do nothing but enjoy herself for awhile. Of course she said yes. Elaine: "His so called HOUSE is bigger than JFK JR'S!"

Scene 6: Jerry's New York apartment which is mostly empty

Jerry and George are having a last look around when Kramer comes sliding in and starts looking around. Jerry and George are feeling a little guilty about leaving Kramer but Kramer only seems interested in what Jerry's leaving and can he have it? He tells them not to worry because Kramer is a "New York State of Mind" kind of guy. (Not sure, but the Billy Joel song may tie in.)

A Short Series of Scenes without dialogue:

   ~Jerry at an exclusive restaurant with a gorgeous blonde.
   ~Elaine by the pool being served by a maid.
   ~George in a sweatsuit watching TV.
   ~Jerry buying a cadillac with visions of Uncle Leo being envious.
   ~Elaine getting a facial, pedicure and manicure at the same time.
   ~George  in a robe watching TV.
   ~Jerry getting out of a limo with a gorgeous redhead.
   ~Elaine, with an assistant carrying bags, entering Gucci's.
   ~George in his underwear watching TV.
   ~Jerry,with a beautiful brunette, being surrounded by autograph
    seekers at his parents' retirement community while his proud parents look on.
   ~Elaine and her man being served gourmet food in their elegant dining room.
   ~George, presumably naked, watching TV.

Scene 7: A very upscale coffee shop

Jerry, Elaine and George, all well-dressed and tan are having coffee surrounded by "beautiful" people but there is a certain familiarity about the scene. George is discussing his parents. He is worried about them and they keep calling him - COLLECT! He claims he doesn't miss them but Jerry suspects otherwise. Elaine brings up the fact that there is a small guest house behind George's new home and why not fix it up and let them live there? That way they would be close but not TOO close. She snidely adds,"Just be sure to keep your windows covered, George, you don't want your mom to see you AGAIN!" George, feeling empowered, agrees.

Scene 8: Jerry's new kitchen

George is asking Jerry and Elaine if they want to go with him to shop for a new robe and slippers. All his TV viewing is wearing them out pretty quickly and he may have to get a clothing allowance. Elaine says she is sure Mr. Right is going to pop the question soon and Jerry is deciding which supermodel to take to a premiere when there is a knock on the door. As Jerry heads to the door, Elaine remarks, "You still answer your own door, you just don't get it do you?" When Kramer comes bursting in. All three are shocked when Jerry says "What are you doing here?" Kramer grins and says,"Doing here? I live here! Right across the street, buddy!" (Yes, astute viewers will have noticed the For Sale sign on the house earlier in the episode.) Seems an NBC executive saw an old clip of Kramer on Murphy Brown and looked Kramer up for his own sitcom. With a sure smile Kramer says "NBC has an opening on Thursday night. If I'm not "must see TV" no one is!" Jerry reminds him he has a "New York State of Mind" but Kramer just says, "I still do ,Jerry, but now I'm "Bicoastal!"

Final Scene: Jerry's kitchen

Jerry, Elaine, George and Kramer are hanging out when the conversation turns to how lucky they all are. Each has achieved what they desired most. Then they realize each has no particular plans for the evening and how about a movie? Of course, there is the usual squabbling until they pick the theater and time. All is really the same.

Closing credits: Jerry's California street

The street is quiet except for a mail truck going slowly from mailbox to mailbox. As the camera zooms in on the mail truck, now in front of Jerry box, we see the laughing face of ... NEWMAN!

And that's it. The end of an era.

Wait, I thought that everyone associated with NBC/Seinfeld/CastleRock were sworn to secrecy? Oh well, anyway that's plot really funny, I hope it goes that way except I hope the scene where they're talking about how everything they ever wanted had come true doesn't get too "heartfelt", otherwise its completely in character.

This would be ok...I guess. I dunno. It just seems to me that the only fitting ending to Seinfeld would be to do nothing--Have an episode just like all others.

It's pretty well-known that many of the minor characters are returning for the finale. This plot doesn't mention any minor characters. Therefore, don't believe it. Actually, I wouldn't believe any plotlines you hear about the finale, because for obvious reasons, it's being kept a secret. Anything you hear is likely a rumor.

Actually, it hasn't been confirmed that the major supporting characters will return for the finale, but I would assume that they would.

I have a friend, Don McManus, who appeared as the guy who challenged Jerry to a rematch in a footrace they'd had years before. He told me that he will be in the final episode, and that he is just one of many characters set to return.

Also, this outline was only for a half-hour episode. We've all heard already that the final show is a full hour.

This thing was very, very bogus.

In case you missed it, allow me to repost the first paragraph once again:

Ok. This was forwarded to me. I have no idea whether any of it is factual, or if it's simply someone's ramblings, or a fan-written concept being passed off as insider information. So if it all turns out to be a crock of sh*t, well then I can't be blamed.

See? I can't be blamed.

And no one was blaming you. I simply opined that the outline was bogus. I didn't call you a liar. I didn't even mention the source. I simply dealt with the false outline itself. No need to be so defensive.

I actually got a hard copy of this thing from someone here in LA last night as well. You're not the only one circulating it.

That still don't make it true.

LA Times today reports that this "hoax" which apparently originated in the NY Daily News got a second life on the internet where people are still buzzing about it. Larry David, who the article says has completed a rough first draft for the finale that will be shot in April, is happy that the script circulating isn't like the one he wrote. The article went on to say it is common for the producers of tv shows to send out decoy scripts to throw the fans off track. Sometimes one that leaks can be the real one. Hmmm. The plot thickens! alt showbiz gossip

RGINATulece

I agree--this supposedly real final episode doesn't have a Larry David flavor, and studios are notorious for planting bogus information to keep us guessing and watching when it finally gets here. alt showbiz gossip
