Plot
Kramer and Jerry are not pleased with the new "low-flow" shower heads that the building's maintenance people have put in for them. Elaine is surprised to find out that she has tested positive for opium. Mr. Peterman denies her a trip to Africa they were going to take. Kramer asks to use Elaine's shower, and is mistaken by Peterman as a drug addict. Jerry is frustrated by the fact that his parents aren't moving back to Florida and George is elated because his parents are considering moving to Florida. George's parents decide to go to annoy the Seinfelds, but the Seinfelds find out and decide to stay, causing the Costanzas to stay.
Jerry's Uncle Leo complains about an overcooked hamburger and says the cook is anti-Semitic, which Jerry jokes about on the Tonight Show. Leo's girlfriend laughs at this, Leo calls her anti-Semitic, and they break up. Elaine discovers her opium results were from her eating poppyseed muffins. After she is about to retake the test and believes she accidentally ate poppyseeds in some chicken, and still desperate to go to Africa, she asks Jerry's mom to take a urine sample for her. Elaine is later shocked to find that the urine sample proved that Jerry's mom has osteoporosis and is menopausal.
Kramer and Newman get new showerheads from the black market. The one Kramer gets is for elephants at a circus, and the pressure is too high as a result.
Quotes
Peterman: Oh, Elaine… the toll road of denial is a long and dangerous one. The price... your soul.;
Kramer: I'm sitting there in a tepid pool of my own filth.;
Newman: And from what I hear the Serbs are fanatic about their showers.;
Jerry: Not from the footage I've seen.;
Trivia
Julia Louis-Dreyfus was notorious on the set for being unable to contain her laughter whenever Michael Richards would perform his trademark physical gags. In one scene of this episode, Peterman angrily throws Kramer out of Elaine's office, slamming the door on his head and causing Kramer to topple to the ground in pain and confusion as the door swings back open. Knowing she would never be able to get through this scene without laughing, Julia kept her eyes locked firmly on the file cabinet beside the door so as not to get distracted by Michael's antics, and she was able to keep a straight face throughout the whole scene.;
Kramer mentions that he is sickened by the concept of a bath, comparing it to "sitting in a tepid pool of own filth". However, in Season 5's "The Wife", Kramer claims that he always takes a bath instead of a shower. He is also seen bathing in Jerry's tub in Season 3's "The Keys".;
Amazingly, the brief scene where the Seinfelds and the Costanzas argue in Jerry's dressing room took upwards of 45 minutes to film. Jerry Stiller kept stumbling over the delivery of the line "Are you telling me there's not one condo available in all of Del Boca Vista?" In the finished scene, you can hear him pause briefly in order to say the line just right.;
