[1] In this episode, George and Jerry both pretend not to know their friend Gary Fogel (played by Jon Lovitz) never had cancer, Elaine takes revenge on her ex-boyfriend by acquiring a pair of glasses identical to his, and Kramer teams up with a police officer to catch a repeat parking violator.
To soothe things, Gary offers George a parking spot and tells him another secret: while doctors thought he had cancer, surgery revealed there was nothing wrong with him.
Gary gets a toupee, which gives him the confidence to talk to a quiet, beautiful woman who sits in a corner booth at Monk's Café.
At a book presentation, Jake is irate to see Lippman wearing the glasses, and attacks him.
The man who sold his glasses to Elaine blindly walks across the street, causing a car accident.
A traffic court judge rules that Newman's car must be kept in a garage, at his own expense, until his parking tickets are paid off.
George gives Jerry the okay to stop pretending and he confronts Gary, ripping the toupee off his head.
[2] Kramer's line "I want to be a pirate," a callback to "The Puffy Shirt", was added to the scene between takes.
