Plot After dinner, Jerry and Elaine discover a strong smell of body odor in Jerry's car, assumed to have been left by the valet who parked it. After they endure an unpleasant drive to the home of Elaine's boyfriend Carl, Carl is offended by the smell of Elaine's hair when they embrace. He tells her he has to get up early, so she does not spend the night. George and Kramer return a video; at the video store, he admires two women who are holding hands. George is astounded when he sees one is his ex-girlfriend, Susan, who tells George she converted to lesbianism shortly after they broke up. Kramer practices his golf swing with a broom in front of Susan's girlfriend, Mona, a golf instructor. She is amused by him. The clerk tells George that he has to pay a $2 fee because he did not rewind the tape. Kramer suggests it would be cheaper to keep the video, rewind it himself, and return it the next day. Kramer comments that Jerry and Elaine have absorbed the body odor from the car. Elaine realizes the odor is the reason Carl did not spend the night with her. Jerry returns to the restaurant demanding that they share the cost of cleaning the car. When the restaurant maître d' refuses, Jerry locks him inside the car, not letting him out until he agrees to pay half of the $250 fee. George discovers someone stole the video out of the car while he and Jerry were inside the restaurant.
