List of Seinfeld episodes

"The Cigar Store Indian" is the 74th episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It is the tenth episode of the fifth season, and first aired on December 9, 1993.

While Jerry helps George with a coffee table stain, Elaine must take the subway home; she takes one of Frank Costanza's many TV Guides as reading material. George meets a woman at a furniture refinishing store and takes her to his parents' home, pretending that it is his. Elaine and Kramer are on the subway when Kramer stops to get a gyro, but when his arm gets stuck in the door, a patron steals it. Jerry is interested in a Native American woman named Winona (Kimberly Norris), but she is offended when Jerry, unaware of her ethnicity, presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering. Jerry further offends her by using racial epithets in a note and rocking it back and forth, mimicking Native American chants in front of her. Upon learning of her ethnicity, Jerry tries to make amends with Winona by going out on a date with her, during which he also obtains her copy of the TV Guide with Al Roker on the cover to give to Frank.

Jerry offers to take Winona out for dinner where, after an argument with an Asian postal worker (Benjamin W.S. Lum), she becomes offended at Jerry's behavior and becomes even more infuriated with him after Kramer, in a taxi with the cigar store Indian, shouts at Jerry that he secured the Indian and celebrates by making Indian whoops. While on the subway, Elaine forgets the TV Guide and it is obtained by a creepy patron (Sam Lloyd), who cuts it up to make a flower bouquet for her. George, having had sex with his furniture store date, leaves a condom wrapper in his parents' bed; his parents discover not only the wrapper but also the absence of Frank's TV Guide (he is a collector) and punish him by grounding him, despite George being in his mid-30's.
