Easily one of the weakest episodes in Season 4, the quality drop from The Movie to this is dramatic.
It seems that this episode propels the pilot arc further but in the end it is in the same place that it was before. All the things that happen in the episode are corrected by the end of it and it is all back to where it was.
Apart from that, the humor is not good. Taking some of George's phrases out of the way, nothing else rings funny. Gail isn't really good, Elaine's story with the shoes isn't entertaining and when they used her as an object of distraction Elaine lost a lot of her character.
