The Frogger

"The Frogger" is the 174th episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It is the 18th episode for the ninth and final season. It first aired on April 23, 1998.

Elaine is confronted with cake from two separate celebrations at her workplace; tired of the forced socializing, she calls in sick the next day. Jerry and George go to their old high-school hangout, Mario's Pizza Parlor, for one last slice of pizza before it closes down. Kramer has visited the police station where he obtained some caution tape used for crime scenes and also heard about a serial killer nicknamed "The Lopper" who is on the loose in the Riverside Park area.

At Mario's, George discovers he still has the high score on the old Frogger video game, with a score of 860,630 points; both he and Jerry remember that they stopped going to Mario's because he had a tendency to insult his customers. Elaine's co-workers give her a cake to celebrate her return to work from being sick, but she refuses to take part in any future celebrations. Jerry dates Elaine's friend Lisi (Julia Campbell) and discovers that she's a sentence-finisher: "It's like dating Mad Libs!" After lamenting that his shrine will be gone, George decides to buy the Frogger machine to preserve his fame, but Jerry asks how he will move it and keep it plugged in to preserve the high score. Kramer discovers that the last victim of the Lopper looked a lot like Jerry.

George works to find a solution to his Frogger problem, and Kramer volunteers the help of a man he knows named "Slippery Pete" (Peter Stormare). Missing the 4:00 sugar-rush she'd become used to from all the celebrations, Elaine raids her boss Peterman's refrigerator, where she finds a piece of cake. Later, Peterman reveals that it's worth $29,000 because of its historical significance: it's from King Edward VIII's wedding to Wallis Simpson.
