[1] In this episode, George is troubled by a doll belonging to his fiance Susan which looks like his mother, Elaine tries to reconcile with her conductor boyfriend by getting him José Carreras's autograph, Frank recognizes a long lost cousin in a photo Elaine took in Tuscany, and George and Susan try to fix Jerry up with Sally Weaver, inconveniencing him when she keeps on bringing the wrong props for an upcoming TV show appearance.
While on the plane, Jerry, because he has to be careful with the package, insists on holding it in his lap, so a flight attendant carelessly stuffs his own bag into the overhead compartment, breaking a bottle of barbecue sauce that he was going to use for his material on Charles Grodin's television show.
Elaine says the Maestro might have a copy; he hasn't contacted her since they returned from Tuscany because she spilled wine on his autographed poster of José Carreras.
Frank and Kramer visit the Maestro, who shows them an old conductor's trick: he takes off his pants when he sits down so he doesn't lose the crease.
Temporarily excusing himself, he leaves his conductor's baton, which Kramer then uses as a pool stick since George's room is too small to play in with the standard cues.
His fury increased at the discovery that Sally could have brought the mat herself, Jerry asks her to bring him a case of the barbecue sauce he wanted for his act.
[2] Writers Tom Gammill and Max Pross encountered the practice of wearing no pants before a show in order to maintain the crease while visiting their friend Sam Denoff backstage with Jerry Lewis.
[2] Gamill and Pross came up with Jerry's predicament in the episode because they were amused by the idea of Seinfeld, who in real life fastidiously prepared for every show, having no material ready out of apparent laziness.
[3] Other cut scenes include George awkwardly confronting his mother after sleeping with the doll, and Frank carrying his large package for Carlo on the flight to Tuscany, making the passenger beside him uncomfortable.
