The Barber's Chair

To rectify the situation, Kramer arranges a clandestine haircut for Jerry in Gino's apartment. Enzo's surprise arrival forces Jerry into hiding. Enzo discovers Jerry's hair clippings on the floor and becomes suspicious. He enlists Newman, bribing him to obtain a hair sample from Jerry for comparison. The hairs match, leading Enzo to vow revenge. The confrontation occurs in Jerry's apartment, but is interrupted by the television showing Edward Scissorhands. Jerry deduces that Newman must have acquired the hair sample during a prior, suspicious visit to his apartment.

Jerry's terrible haircut ultimately leads to Kramer being sent to the bachelor auction in his place. Elaine, skeptical of Kramer's appeal, starts the bidding at a mere $5. Later, in a phone conversation with Kramer, it's revealed that Newman has been shaved bald.

While at his new, unofficial job, George is tasked with working on the "Pensky file." He spends the week loafing, unsure of his actual duties. Upon Mr. Pensky's inquiry about the file's progress, George is again interrupted mid-sentence, leaving him to interpret the situation. Tuttle eventually confirms George was hired, but is displeased with his lack of progress on the Pensky file. George quits, assuming Pensky has a position for him. However, he learns during the interview that Pensky's company is facing federal indictment, rendering any hiring impossible.
