Plot

Jerry and George are having dinner with their new girlfriends, Shelly (Dana Wheeler-Nicholson) and Paula (Christa Miller). George met Paula at Elaine's drawing class at The New School. George whispers to Jerry that he is eating pecans that were in Shelly's mouth. Jerry spits them out and exclaims his disgust, which angers Shelly. When leaving the restaurant, George finds a doodle that Paula drew of him. George complains about the doodle, finding it an ugly caricature. Elaine's friend, Judy, recommends her for a job at Viking Press. In order to stay at the company's suite at the Plaza Hotel she lets Viking Press think that she is coming from out of town, and gives Jerry's parents' address in Florida as hers.

George implores Elaine to find out if Paula really likes him. At the drawing class, Paula confesses to Elaine that she likes George and says looks aren't important to her. When Elaine repeats this to George, he becomes upset, declaring that he would prefer to be hated and handsome rather than liked and ugly.

Kramer is enjoying "Mackinaw peaches" from Oregon which are ripe for only two weeks a year. Jerry realizes he has flea bites. An exterminator confirms the flea infestation, and closes down the apartment for 48 hours to fumigate. Jerry's parents have just come to town; Jerry convinces Elaine to give them the hotel suite.

After meeting with Judy, Elaine realizes a manuscript sent from Viking Press for her to read is in Jerry's apartment. Jerry warns her not to enter because it has been fumigated; an instant later Kramer walks out, having disregarded the sign on the door. Once informed, Kramer worriedly says he spent an hour and a half in the apartment engrossed with a manuscript. Elaine searches inside, but only finds "Chunky" candy bar wrappers. Seeing the wrappers, Jerry realizes that it was Newman who gave him fleas. He confronts Newman at his apartment, forcing him to confess.

At the Plaza, Morty, Helen, Uncle Leo and Nana use room service, watch four pay-per-view movies at the same time, and order $100 massages and food. George confronts Paula about her indifference towards looks; she confirms her feelings. Elaine gets Kramer to summarize the manuscript, which he does in a typically eccentric fashion. Kramer is unable to taste food due to the fumigation exposure. Dismayed that he cannot enjoy Mackinaw peaches, he gives his remaining ones to Newman.

Jerry is staying at Shelly's apartment but has forgotten his toothbrush; Shelly tells him to use hers. When he refuses, she throws him out. Elaine has her interview at Viking Press and repeats Kramer's manuscript interpretation. The publisher approves but questions the astronomical room charges at the Plaza. Elaine visits the disarrayed hotel suite; Uncle Leo sees her and, confused, states that he was expecting an Asian woman.

George arrives at Monk's wearing a velvet sweatsuit, now happy with his relationship with Paula. He finishes off a Mackinaw peach, discarding the pit on the table. When Paula pops the discarded pit into her mouth to suck out the remaining flavor, he gags with revulsion. Kramer's tastebuds return just in time for the peaches; however, Newman finishes the last one in front of him. Kramer exacts revenge by siccing a bulldog on him.
