- Elaine meets her new boyfriend's friends, and realizes the group of them are the exact opposites of Jerry and his friends. Jerry goes out with one of Elaine's friends who is extremely beautiful, but has off-putting "man hands." However, George uses a picture of her to get into the "forbidden city" where lots of beautiful women hang out. Kramer gets a new job when he uses a toilet in an office building.
- The signature Seinfeld theme song is played backwards in the tag scene of the episode - another reference to the "Bizarro" theme.
Elaine breaks up with her boyfriend Kevin (Tim DeKay) (from "The Soul Mate"), but they decide to "just be friends." Much to Elaine's surprise, Kevin is thrilled at the idea, and starts becoming a much more reliable friend than Jerry. Jerry suggests to Elaine that Kevin is "Bizarro Jerry" and explains the comic book concept of Bizarro World.
Meanwhile, Kramer accidentally gets a job at a company called Brandt/Leland when he aids an employee in the hall and starts going to meetings. He soon finds out he fits right in and starts working there for no pay, stating his reason as doing it "just for me." When Jerry asks Kramer what he does, Kramer responds, "TCB - you know, taking care of business!" A montage of his office work includes scenes of Kramer eating crackers at lunch and shining his shoes at the water cooler.
Jerry starts dating Gillian (Kristin Bauer), an attractive woman whose only flaw is that she has "man-hands.", i.e. her hands are large and coarse like a man's. George uses a picture of Gillian to get into the "forbidden city", a club of attractive women and models, by saying that Gillian is his late fiancee Susan. Unfortunately, his luck ends when he accidentally burns the picture with a hair dryer. George begs Jerry to get another picture of Gillian so that he can get back inside the "Forbidden City". Jerry becomes bored at home, now that Kramer is "working", Elaine is always hanging out with Kevin and his friends Gene (Kyle T. Heffner) and Feldman (Pat Kilbane) (Bizarro versions of George and Kramer, respectively), and George only comes to him when he wants something.
By the end of the episode, Kramer gets fired by Leland (J. Patrick McCormack) (despite the fact that Kramer doesn't really work at Leland) because of his shoddy work ("It's almost as if you have no business training at all").
Jerry wants to be "just friends" with Gillian, who does not take too well to the idea. While trying to get another picture of her from her purse for George, she grabs Jerry's wrist (which Jerry later describes as almost ripping his arm right out of the socket). George tries to use a picture of a model from a magazine to get back into the club, but his plan is foiled when he accidentally confronts exactly the same model from the magazine picture and gets kicked out.
Jerry, George, and Kramer go to meet Elaine at the same time that Kevin, Gene, and Feldman were to meet up with her - both groups of men react rather awkwardly at seeing their Bizarro-counterparts. Elaine decides to stay with her "Bizarro friends" but is explicitly asked to leave by them when they do not take to some of the normal things she usually does with Jerry, such as eating olives directly out of the jar from Kevin's refrigerator and pushing Kevin, with her trademark outburst of "get out!", so hard that he falls and is hurt.
Later, George takes Jerry to the location of the club, but all they find is a meat packing plant. George is dismayed, while Jerry doesn't believe there ever was a club there. As they leave, they miss seeing the photo George had taken from a magazine, lying in the middle of the sawdust on the ground.
