"The Wizard" is the 171st episode of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. This was the 15th episode for the ninth and final season. It aired on February 26, 1998.
Jerry buys his dad a $200 Wizard organizer for a birthday present as he plans to go down to Del Boca Vista phase III. George receives a message from Susan's parents, the Rosses. Jerry and George debate about the race of Elaine's new boyfriend and that intrigues her – is he black? George returns the call from the Rosses; the Foundation is having an event this weekend, but George doesn't want to attend, so he comes up with a story that he has to close on his house in the Hamptons. Kramer announces his retirement when he tells Jerry and George about a Hollywood big shot having options for his coffee table book about coffee tables. Kramer even comments that the toy ray guns were the inspiration to Independence Day. Elaine finds evidence that leads her to believe her boyfriend is black. Susan's parents see George on the street in the city, during the time he is supposed to be in the Hamptons.
Jerry is woken up early in the morning at his parents' house and gives his father the Wizard, which Jerry claims he got from a deal at only $50. Morty is only impressed by it being a "tip calculator", although Jerry claims it does other things. Later, he discovers that Kramer has moved to Del Boca Vista phase III to join the other retirees as he lives next door to Morty and Helen after Mr. Kornstein died. Jerry comments to Kramer that he can't move to Del Boca Vista phase III as that's where old people go to die. When Morty and Helen look at him, Jerry quotes "Not you, older people." Helen then fixes Kramer breakfast as Jerry quotes that he won't leave if he feeds him. Elaine laughs when Susan's parents ask her about George's house in the Hamptons, revealing the lies.
An election is held for president of the Del Boca Vista condo association. Jerry recalled how his father can't run because he was impeached from The Pines of Mar Gables phase II (as seen in "The Cadillac" Pt. 2). Morty comments "I was never impeached. I resigned." Helen then comments that the press from the local newspaper The Boca Breeze would bury Morty. After hearing from Sid Luckman that Kramer had won a date with the aquacise instructor, Morty decides that Kramer should be elected condo board president of Del Boca Vista phase III, so Morty will run things from behind the scenes like a "puppet regime".
