When they arrive there, Jerry appears on a talk show and he George discover that Kramer is suspected of being a serial killer referred to as the "Smog Strangler".
The rest of season 4 would focus on the continuous story-arc of Jerry and George creating a pilot for NBC.
Jerry is offered two free tickets from New York City to Hollywood to appear on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Jerry can't remember the words for a joke and blames the hotel maid, Lupe, who threw his notes away while cleaning the room.
Jerry and George want to make sure Kramer is not imprisoned, so they flee from the car, and, in their hurry, leave the door open.
While he is being interrogated, the lieutenant receives a phone call revealing that the Smog Strangler has killed another victim while Kramer was in custody, and so he is released.
Kramer's first name is missing from the script found on the dead woman's body, a reference to how—at this point in time—no one knows his full name.
