Seinfeld Episode: The Package (Season 8)

The Package is episode no. 139 (Season 8)

The Plots:
  1. Elaine's conflicts with doctors and hospitals: She is known to be "difficult" and soon no doctor will see her. She tries with no success to steal her medical chart. Not even Kramer (faking a Dr. Van Nostrand "from the clinic") is able to get Elaine's medical chart from the hospital.
  2. Mail fraud: Kramer offers Jerry a method to get a refund on his stereo that is out of warranty. Kramer insures the stereo and sends it in the mail. The post office suspects mail fraud. Newman grills Jerry.
  3. George tries to start a relationship with photo store Sheila (Heather Campbell): He discovers that the woman at the photo store (Sheila) is looking at his pictures (having commented on a mustard stain on his shirt) and is persuaded by Kramer to "play with" (the timeless art of seduction, as Jerry calls it). George thinks that Sheila has stuck a picture of herself showing much skin in with his pictures. Kramer convinces George to return the compliment and takes photos of George that are meant to make photo store Sheila even more interested. George drops off his film at the photo store but is dragged into the mail fraud investigation.

In this episode Uncle Leo's oven explodes, burning off his eyebrows.
