Susan dies?!

Gosh, you know, I didn't realize this might be a spoiler for those that read the newsgroup when I posted it. I'm sorry about this, Andy. I was about to tell you how, but I don't want to ruin the show for you any more by giving out the details.

Well having just seen 'The Yada-Yada' George described it as

"Well we were engaged, bought the invitations and yada-yada"

In article "Casey Hoerig" writes:

Interesting. Perhaps as a result these people will really believe Mr. and Mrs. Ross and Wick as they repeatedly suggest that George killed Susan (The Foundation, The Hamptons, The Finale).

Envelopes, from the same stationer, come up again in The Summer of George, not sure if glue toxicity is ever mentioned again, though.

   Oops.  That was supposed to be The Wizard.  And Wyck's accusation
may have actually occured in The Soul Mate.

George does mention it in The Andrea Doria. But I think that's at least 10 episodes later. At least in syndication time, that'll only be 2 weeks before a person can understand exactly how she died!!!

I don't how many shows afterwards, but George does get appointed to be on the board of whatever it is her parents set-up. There is a scene there were the guy running the meetings asks after George leaves, if everyone is in agreement that George killed Susan. Yes, this is going to be odd for people who don't know she is dead and why who have not seen it before.

I am new to Seinfeld, I was a little to young for it when it first started showing. I immediatly knew she died when they showed the episode a couple of days ago on Fox. It never showed the one where she died but it showed the episode after where they were at her funeral but I still don't know how she died. Can someone please post how? Heh. Thanks

Although the episode with Susan's death is gone, it always live in our memory of her, and over at http://www.geocities.com/tnguym/scripts/TheInvitations.html

- the foreshadowing, purchasing the cheapest wedding invitations at the stationers:

Clerk: Hmmm,..to tell you the truth they haven't manufactured that one for a number of years. I might have couple of boxes left in our warehouse in New Jersey. I'd have to check.

Susan: Oh! no. George that's so ugly we don't want that.

George: What's the difference you just read it and mail it right back. These we'll do.

Susan: Why don't they make'em anymore?

Clerk: Well.. For one thing the glue isn't very adhesive. It takes a lot of moisture to make them stick.

[...]

• the beginning of the end, and part of Susan's descent into a shrill bride:

Scene takes us to George's again. We hear a buzzer.

Delivery man: Delivery from Melody Stationaries.

Susan: Oh those are the invitations.

Delivery man: Just sign there.

Susan: yeah! Thank you.

George: See ya later.

Susan: Urgh.. these are so cheap. (as George leaves) And don't forget tommorrow we're going shopping for some rings, so don't make any plans...and this time we're not skimping.

[...]

Susan licking envelopes

Susan: Eurk.. Awful

Jerry at the pier watching lovers and families considering his future and we get another look at Susan licking her envelopes, getting nauseous.

[...]

• the end

Scene cuts to the Improv as Jerry walks into the club and sees Jeannie sitting at a table

Jerry: Will you marry me?

Susan licks her last envelope and collapses. George is walking down a street looking depressed.

We go back to the Improv.

[...]

• the postmortem

Doctor: Excuse me , Are you the husband?

George: Well , not yet.. Fianc�.

Doctor: Well , I'm sorry.....She's gone.

George: .........What's that?...

Doctor: She expired.

George: ...Are you sure?

Doctor: Yes , of course.

George: So.....She's dead?

Doctor: Yes

George: ...Huh!

Doctor: Let me ask you ; Had she been exposed to any kind of inexpensive glue?

George: ...Why?

Doctor: We found traces of a certain toxic adhesive commonly found in very low priced envelopes.

George: Well she was sending out our wedding invitations.

Doctor: That's probably what did it.

George: We were expecting about two hundred people...Well...Thank you , thank you.

Actually, I talked to a postal worker one day and licked an envelope in front of him at the counter, and he said *never* lick an envelope.

There can be bugs and bacteria and lots of other things in the envelope glue, not to mention getting it right on your tongue.

Always use a sponge. So maybe the Susan episode wasn't so far off the mark.

I've heard of a woman cutting her tongue while licking an envelope, then sometime later, after the infection in her tongue had gotten worse, she went to a doctor to find out that she had cockroach eggs growing in her tongue which were in the glue on the envelope. That story still disgusts me, but I had to tell it, sorry.

But if the warning came straight from a postal worker, then it's gotta be true! Perhaps it is an official policy.

So has that episode been pulled in the States? Why? I saw it 2 or 3 months ago on Paramount in the UK.
