In the closing episode of
Seinfeld's eighth season, George (
Jason Alexander) decides to take the summer off after getting his severance package from the Yankees. Kramer (
Michael Richards) lands a job as a seat-filler at the Tony Awards, leading to a potentially nasty situation with an angry
Raquel Welch. As it turns out, however, it is Elaine (
Julia Louis-Dreyfus) who bears the full brunt of Raquel's wrath. And Jerry (
Jerry Seinfeld) is about to collapse from exhaustion, thanks to his girlfriend (and no, it's not what you think). Season eight ends as it began, in the hospital. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
