Apr 28, 2023

Elaine isn't too quick about picking the salt off pretzels for Mr. Pitt, but she makes up for it by winning him a spot under the Woody Woodpecker balloon at the Thanksgiving Day parade.

Elaine ruins a merger deal for Mr. Pitt due to the terrible name he came up with, while also dealing with his trancelike obsession with a 3D art poster. JLD gets a few fun moments ripping on Jerry and womanhandling Mr. Pitt, but overall, her plot is blahhhhh.
