Plot
Spoiler warning: Plot and/or ending details follow.
Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza are seated at Pete's Luncheonette debating over a shirt button. The waitress, Claire, comes over to their table and pours each a cup of coffee. George tells Claire he does not want caffeine in his coffee and Jerry corrects him by telling George she is an expert waitress. The two continue to talk and finally leave when Jerry has to do laundry.
The following evening while watching a late Mets game, he receives a phone call from a potential girlfriend, Laura, whom he met on the road. She asks if she can stay over his apartment since she cannot find a "decent hotel" (a fact George contests). Jerry invites her but is unsure if her visit is intended to be romantic or not. George and Jerry continue to debate fine details in Laura's conversation with Jerry to determine the true nature of the visit. A character known in the pilot as "Kessler," (who in all future episodes is known as Kramer) joins in asking Jerry why he would even give her a choice about where to sleep by bringing in another bed. The episode gives viewers a quick glimpse at George's profession (real estate) and also Kramer's (questionable get rich quick schemes).
At the airport, George and Jerry continue to talk in an effort to identify the possible signals Laura might give upon her arrival. Laura arrives and takes Jerry (and George) by surprise. The two arrive at Jerry's apartment and he feels uncomfortable with the situation. Laura removes some excess clothing to get comfortable and asks for wine. Jerry believes he has gotten to the bottom of the whole question. His plans are abruptly interrupted when he learns Laura has a fiancé. Jerry realizes he has no chance with Laura but has already committed himself — and his studio apartment — to an entire weekend with her.
Note
The episode does not feature the character of Elaine Benes. Her character was introduced as a result of constructive criticism based on this episode.
Lee Garlington, who played Claire (the waitress at Pete's) in the pilot, although credited as a regular, was not asked to appear in the series and is only featured in this episode.
The restaurant Jerry and George are eating lunch at is known as Pete's Luncheonette in this episode. It will later be known as the well-known Monk's Cafe for the remainder of the series.

Spinel is a vengeful gem whom was emotionally neglected and abandoned by her former owner, Pink Diamond. They were both joyful playmates who would entertain each other every day, week, and even months with various games and juggling. Pink Diamond got weary, sick of Spinel's clingy personality. So she decided to raise Spinel's hopes by tricking her into standing still 6,000 years. Nefariously tricking her into thinking it's a game, and then abandoned her carelessly without any second thoughts. One day, Spinel received a hologram report. Of the 16 year old Steven Universe, talking about his personal life and his known friends. Having no awareness that Spinel was watching it. It shocked Spinel so horribly as once the broadcast has ended, where it made her stop her frozen stance. It pushed her to the brink of insanity, so she gained a new, more pessimistic form. The one we know with the mascara cheek lines and the unorganized piggy-tails. That was when she wanted revenge.
Steven Universe: "There she is, my new best friend, Spinel.."
Spinel: "It is an pleasure to meet you all." *Polite bow*
