The Visa

As George and Elaine argue over getting the mail she picked up while Jerry was on the road, George admits he met an attractive immigration lawyer. Then, after they run into Babu Bhatt, the Pakistani immigrant Jerry helped get an apartment and a job after causing the failure of his restaurant, Elaine agrees to deliver Jerry's mail when they go to the Auto Show on Saturday.

While at dinner with Cheryl, George is shocked when Jerry and Elaine drop in to join them on their way to the auto show. Asking for legal advice about the lawsuit brought by the deliveryman at the local Chinese restaurant, Elaine discovers that Cheryl is handling the case for her cousin Ping. As Cheryl excuses herself to use the phone, George worries that Jerry is too funny and persuades him to lose his sense of humor when Cheryl returns.

Upon delivering Jerry's mail, Elaine notes that Cheryl has convinced Ping to drop the lawsuit while, returning early from a New York Yankees fantasy baseball camp, Kramer reveals that it closed after he punched Mickey Mantle in the mouth. Meanwhile, Babu is arrested because of an expired visa, and Jerry finds Babu's renewal application in his mail. Realizing he is responsible for Babu deportation, Jerry asks George to contact Cheryl for help. Admitting to the misplaced application, Jerry reassures Babu that the case is being handled. But, when Cheryl admits to being attracted to Jerry's dark side, George sees his plan backfiring and insists he is as disturbed as anyone she wifi ever meet. Learning that Babu has been deported to Pakistan, Jerry wonders what could have gone wrong until George reveals that he told Cheryl the truth about their deception. Finally, Ping announces that his lawsuit is back on and he is doubling the damages while, stuck in Pakistan with no way to return to America, Babu swears he will get revenge on Jerry.
