The Ex-Girlfriend
"The Ex-Girlfriend" is the first episode of the second season of the American television sitcom Seinfeld (and the sixth episode overall). It first aired on NBC in the United States on January 23, 1991, after being postponed for a week due to the start of the First Gulf War. In the episode, George Costanza breaks up with his girlfriend Marlene and leaves some books in her apartment. He persuades his friend Jerry to retrieve them. Jerry starts dating Marlene, who annoys him as much as she did George, but he finds himself unable to break up with her because she has a "psycho-sexual" hold on him.
Co-written by series creators Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld, the episode was inspired by one of David's personal experiences. Directed by Tom Cherones, "The Ex-Girlfriend" was the first episode of the show filmed at CBS Studio Center in Los Angeles, California (and would stay there for the remainder of the show's run), the previous season having been filmed at Desilu Cahuenga in Hollywood. The episode received a Nielsen rating of 10.9/17 and was positively received by critics.
George seeks Jerry's encouragement to break up with his girlfriend, Marlene, rationalizing that he was powerless to resist her. Elaine is perturbed that a neighbor, over two years, became gradually less familiar in his greetings to the point of non-acknowledgement. Jerry suggests that George take action, and George does the same for Elaine.
Kramer praises a delicious, cheap cantaloupe from a local grocer who accepts returned fruit, despite Jerry's disinterest. George ecstatically recounts his determined breakup with Marlene as a thrilling prison escape, but needs Jerry's help to reclaim some books left at her apartment. Jerry is mesmerized by Marlene and begins dating her, becoming inundated by her frequent, long phone calls that turn into dull, aimless talk.
George visits Jerry's chiropractor, but, outraged at a $75 charge for a two-minute consultation, refuses to pay the full amount.
After making out with Marlene, Jerry loses his resolve to break up, but fears George's reaction. He rationalizes to Kramer that he was powerless to resist her, then is encouraged by Elaine's bold telling-off of her neighbor. Kramer returns Jerry's supermarket cantaloupe, finding it unpalatable.
George is indifferent to Jerry continuing with Marlene, but is appalled when Jerry covers the difference on his chiropractor bill, undermining his protest. In his indignation, he swallows a fly.
Marlene breaks up with Jerry after judging his comedy act as lacking substance. Jerry reacts defensively at being condescended to by Marlene, a cashier.
