Ep 1. The Trip (1)

Seinfeld season 4 episode 1, "The Trip (1)," kicks off with Jerry being invited by NBC to come to Los Angeles to discuss turning his pilot into a series. Elaine joins Jerry on the trip, while George stays behind in New York City, where he'll be keeping company with Kramer, but not before Jerry's eccentric neighbor shows up at the airport to bid him farewell.

Once in California, Jerry and Elaine are picked up at the airport by Jason Alexander, who plays George. They all head to the hotel where the meeting is supposed to take place. While waiting for George to arrive, Jerry and Elaine settle into their hotel room, and the two talk about the recent breakup between Jerry and his ex-girlfriend Marla. Meanwhile, George is having a hard time back in New York, and Kramer is there to witness the ups and downs of George's day.

Eventually, Jerry and Elaine make it to NBC Studios, but the head of programming cancels the meeting, leaving them with nothing to do. In the meantime, Kramer and George attempt to send Kramer's script to NBC, hoping to cash in on the current trend of pet-based sitcoms. When they find out that Jerry and Elaine's trip has been extended for an extra day, George decides to fly out to California, taking Kramer's script with him.

Back in Los Angeles, Jerry and George meet up at the hotel bar, where Jerry introduces George to the rest of the NBC staff. Soon, they all head out to dinner, where they wind up arguing about some of the finer points of Los Angeles cuisine. This leads to a series of hilarious mishaps, including George having to pay the bill with Kramer's bankroll, and Jerry having to sneak out of the restaurant to avoid running into Diane Keaton.

The episode concludes with Jerry and George sitting on the steps of the hotel, waiting for their ride to the airport. They discuss the downfall of their LA trip, as well as their upcoming plans for a trip to Europe. As they sit and chat, it becomes clear that the two have a strong bond, despite their differences, and that no matter where life takes them, they will always be there for each other.

Overall, Seinfeld season 4 episode 1, "The Trip (1)," is a great opener to the season. It introduces some fun new characters, sets up some great storylines, and leaves us wanting more. The episode is typical Seinfeld fare, with plenty of witty banter, sharp observational humor, and hilarious situations. It's definitely one of the show's best episodes, and a must-watch for any Seinfeld fan.
