"The Cadillac" is an hour-long, two-part episode of NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It was the 124th and 125th episode and 14th and 15th episode for the seventh season. It aired on February 8, 1996. This was the last episode to be co-written by Jerry Seinfeld.
Academy Award-winning actress Marisa Tomei plays herself in the episode.
Jerry comes back from a high-paying gig and awes Kramer with his earnings. Jerry surprises his parents by buying them a new fully loaded Cadillac Fleetwood; learning about his financial situation, Elaine becomes infatuated with Jerry once again (The Fleetwood base model cost US$36,995 at the time).
The Plaza Cable company wants to meet with Kramer, who makes sure he is not at home when they arrive, to retaliate for their lateness when his cable was installed.
Meanwhile, as The A.V. Club describes it, "Back in New York, we're treated to a whole ethical dilemma where George wrestles with the news that he's Marisa Tomei's type and could have been introduced to her if he was still single."George reconsiders his engagement to Susan when Katy, Elaine's friend, reveals that she is friends with actress Marisa Tomei:
Hearing all this, George develops an obsession for Marisa.
Jack Klompus accuses Morty of embezzling funds from the office of condo president to pay for his new Cadillac. Jack does not believe Jerry has enough talent to earn so much money, and convinces the rest of the Condo Board of this. Board member Herb decides to call for an investigation as Ralph seconds the motion.
George wants to meet Marisa for a cup of coffee, even when Elaine tells him "it's cheating!" on his fiancée, and he insists on getting Marisa's phone number, to the point of harassing Katy when she is in the hospital with a heart condition.
During the credits, Morty informs Jerry and Helen that he is being threatened for impeachment. Nobody has ever been impeached as condo president before as Morty states that if he gets impeached, they will have to move to Del Boca Vista. Their neighbor Evelyn tells them that three of the building representatives are voting for impeachment, three other building representatives are voting against impeachment, and board member Mrs. Choate of Building D is left with the deciding vote.
