List of Seinfeld episodes

"The Blood" is the one-hundred and sixtieth episode of Seinfeld. This was the 4th episode for the 9th and final season. It aired on October 16, 1997.

Jerry's parents are concerned about his lack of exercise and thus Seinfeld, realizing he is out of shape, starts a purification program to improve his diet. Jerry's parents eventually buy him sessions with a personal trainer, Izzy Mandelbaum, who's going to help him work off his spare tire. Elaine visits her friend Vivian and is disappointed when Vivian implies that she isn't responsible enough to watch her son Jimmy. Meanwhile, George decides he needs to add food as a part of his sex life when his girlfriend lights some vanilla-scented incense, whose overpowering scent makes him hungry. His girlfriend only tolerates some food items, detesting "salted cured meats"; George then contrives a way to separate pudding skin from the pudding, creating pudding skin singles and arrives at the decision to add television to his equation as to make food and sex even better. However, George's girlfriend becomes displeased with television. Kramer has been storing his blood at a blood bank whose rates become leveraged and, retaliating, he decides to store the blood himself. Vivian then decides that Kramer would be a good choice for a baby-sitter; however, Elaine intercepts him en-route and proves her responsibility. Jerry sustains a hobby knife wound which causes him to require a blood transfusion; ultimately, he receives three pints of Kramer's blood and learns that the blood does in fact belong to Kramer. He becomes disturbed, especially when Kramer deems him a blood brother. Elaine hates her new responsibility, so she tries to make herself appear irresponsible; to avoid being responsible she uses George as a "pinch weasel". However, George has most likely found the woman of his dreams. Kramer borrows Jerry's air-conditioned car to return his blood to the bank. The car overheats because the radiator is dry, but not for long. Jerry's last workout with Izzy results in another transfusion of blood; only this time it's not Kramer's, it's Newman's.

• George: "I flew too close to the sun on wings of pastrami." [3]
