[1] In the episode, following the death of his fiancée Susan Ross at the end of the previous season, George finds himself tasked with being on the board of directors at a foundation dedicated to her memory.
Meanwhile, Kramer inspires Elaine to take charge after J. Peterman abandons his company and runs off to Myanmar (Burma), and Jerry discovers that his and George's severed engagements make them more attractive to women.
While George wishes to move on from his fiancée Susan's tragic demise, her parents want to keep her memory alive by creating a foundation in her honor, inspired by words of comfort Jerry told them at the funeral.
Dolores from "The Junior Mint" asks Jerry out on a coffee date; he realizes that her interest in him was renewed because she heard of his engagement, which proves his willingness to commit.
Still intrigued by how the engagement earned him a date, Jerry makes up a questionnaire to determine how a man's relationship history affects his attractiveness to women.
Jerry calls to inform him that widowers got the best responses on his questionnaire from several attractive women at Monk's, but George's obligation to the foundation prevents him from meeting them.
Kramer mentions his Katra, the Vulcan spirit which he notes was introduced in Star Trek III: The Search for Spock.
