The group turns ordinary encounters into elaborate problems involving dating, favors, work, and shared space. Jerry and Elaine's casual arrangement makes their past relationship newly relevant.

George's lies occasionally produce unexpected outcomes, while the group continues to turn social embarrassment into extended crises. Jerry and Elaine's past resurfaces, but their friendship does not become a lasting romance.
George's Yankees job and Elaine's changing employment create new sources of workplace anxiety. Family separations and romantic complications broaden the group's usual cycle of disputes.
George's decision to propose to Susan gives the season a sustained relationship thread, while his attempts to postpone the wedding undermine his commitment. Susan's death ends the engagement and shifts the story into its aftermath.
