- George struggles to keep his cool in a fire. Elaine's co-worker heckles Jerry's act, and Jerry's retaliation causes an accident where Kramer has to save the day.
- George dates a woman who has a son, and she invites him to the boy's birthday party. At the party, a fire breaks out in the kitchen and George screams "FIRE!" and knocks down the kids and an old lady as he makes his cowardly escape. The clown (not Bozo) puts out the fire with his big shoe. Meanwhile, at Pendant Publishing, Elaine learns that she's up for a very nice promotion; her main competition, Toby, is working with Kramer on his coffee-table book. The three head over to the comedy club where Jerry is doing an important set where a writer from Entertainment Weekly will be present to do a review of the show for the magazine. Toby heckles Jerry. After Jerry gets the magazine and sees the mostly-negative review of his show, he decides to do something unheard-of: heckle the heckler. He goes to Toby's office, where his heckling so upsets her that she rushes out of the building, and a street-sweeper severs her pinkie toe. Kramer gets the toe and hijacks a bus to take it to the hospital where it is reattached to Toby's foot. Shocked at the incident, Mr. Lippman decides to promote Toby over Elaine for the senior-editor's job. Toby's first order of business is to get Kramer's coffee-table book in stores ASAP. The next day, Jerry goes to the comedy club to plead with the Entertainment Weekly reviewer for a second chance; he gets one and runs into prop comic Ronnie Kaye, who tells Jerry that what he did is unprecedented. Jerry agrees and says that it's finally time they drew a line in the sand. During the show, George stops by the comedy club and sees Ronnie holding what looks like a firearm. Thinking that Ronnie's robbing the place, George screams and tries another cowardly escape that knocks everybody down. This interrupts Jerry's set and he's furious with George.—halo1k

In fact the bubbly and effusive Toby is also in competition with Elaine to fill the vacant senior editor position. Kramer takes Toby to see Jerry's act but she heckles him from the audience. An outraged Jerry later visits her at the office and gets his revenge, though it also leads to an accident that makes him out to be the bad guy. George's new girlfriend has a son and he agrees to help out at his birthday party. He overreacts somewhat to a fire in the kitchen showing a side of his character that she does not like.—garykmcd
- At Pendant Publishing Kramer is discussing his idea of a coffee table book about coffee tables with Elaine and his new girlfriend, Elaine's ecstatic co-worker, Toby (Veanne Cox). Elaine finds Toby, as well as Kramer's book, very annoying. George is dating Robin (Melanie Chartoff), a woman with a young son. Jerry is preparing his act to impress a magazine critic who is going to attend his show. Toby tells Elaine that a Senior Editor has been transferred and their boss, Mr Lippmann is looking to promote someone internally. Toby and Elaine both want the promotion but talk the other's chances up.
Kramer invites Toby to see Jerry's act, where she initially cheers him, but then she starts heckling, booing, and hissing him ceaselessly after a joke he tells offends her, when Jerry says that men hunt and women nest. As a result of the heckling, Jerry gets a bad review from the critic. The critic writes that Jerry froze like a deer in headlights due to the incessant heckling.
George, attending Robin's son's birthday party, cannot understand how "Eric the Clown" (Jon Favreau) does not know who Bozo is and complains that "Eric" is not a good clown name. Later, George panics when a small fire breaks out in the kitchen and he rushes away, violating the maxim "women and children first" while pushing down everyone in his path including Robin's son, her mother, a disabled elderly woman, and the clown, leaving them all behind. The attendees of the birthday party are extremely upset with him, so he tries to justify his behavior by saying how he acted bravely by pushing his way to the front, acting as their "leader," an explanation that nobody buys. George claims that he risked his life to make sure that the exit was clear. Eric, the clown, apparently saved the day by putting the fire out with one of his big clown shoes. Robin doesn't want to see George anymore.
Jerry takes the ultimate revenge for a comedian by appearing at Toby's workplace to heckle her; crying, she runs out of her office and onto the street where her foot is run over by a street sweeper, which severs her pinkie toe. Later, Kramer retells the story of how he found the toe, boarded a bus, and fought a gunman just to go to the hospital.
Toby gets her toe reattached and upon returning to Pendant Publishing, she gets condolences from everyone who file in and push Elaine out of her own office. To Elaine's further indignation, Toby was promoted instead of her because her boss felt sorry for her because of the accident.
Toby's first order of business is getting Kramer's coffee table book published. At the club, Jerry convinced the critic to return to judge his performance again. Also, in the club. George, inspired by Kramer's story, asks Robin for a second chance, who works at the club where Jerry is going to perform, as a waitress. However, he panics and screams again at the sight of a comedian's (Dom Irrera) prop gun and ruins both Jerry's act by having the audience evacuate because of the fake gun and his second chance with Robin.
