Continuing from the previous episode, Kramer's videotape is played for the jury. NBC executives arrive and George, instead of worrying about their trial, takes time to complain about the plane. The prosecution continues calling witnesses, first with the arresting officer, then the victim. Once they give their accounts, familiar figures from the past are called to the stand. The elderly woman, Mrs. Choate, whose marble rye Jerry stole in "The Rye", testifies. Marla, the virgin, is called to the stand and tells the jury about the foursome's contest in "The Contest". More testimony is given by the bubble boy; the handicapped woman whose spot George took; the doctor who treated Susan the night she died; the library cop, Mr. Bookman; Sidra; Robin, George's former girlfriend whose house caught on fire; a security guard from the parking garage; the detective who investigated Kramer when he dressed as a pimp; and the low-talker, who tries to testify but the jury can't hear her. When George Steinbrenner testifies, he talks about the calzone and how George is a communist. More witnesses give their two-cents about the foursome including the man who runs the underground cockfights; the pharmacist who sold Elaine her contraceptive sponges; a co-worker of Elaine's that speaks about the nipple in the Christmas letter; Mr. Pitt, who tells the story about when Elaine tried to smother him with a pillow; the Soup Nazi; and lastly Babu Bhatt who tells the jury about how Jerry and Elaine got him deported back to Pakistan. ..
