Jerry's parents Morty and Helen Seinfeld come to New York City from Florida to see a back pain specialist.
Susan Ross and Jerry explain to George that the proffered deal is standard for first-time creators and that if they turn it down NBC will just buy a pilot from someone else, but he does not believe them.
Susan also gives George a box of smuggled Cuban cigars as a gift from her father, but smoking them makes him nauseous, so he gives them to Kramer.
While Morty is being examined at the doctor's office his wallet is stolen from his trousers, so he storms out without getting diagnosis or treatment.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was pregnant for part of the third season and was absent in "The Trip" and only had cameo appearances in "The Pitch" and "The Ticket".
