[edit] Plot
George converts to the Latvian Orthodox religion in order to keep a girlfriend (played by Jana Marie Hupp) who would otherwise break up with him for their religious differences. Jerry finds a fungus cream in his girlfriend's medicine cabinet and, wondering what the cream might treat, convinces Elaine to ask her boyfriend, a podiatrist. Kramer meets a nun at George's church but must break up with her when she decides to forsake religion for him, due to Kramer having "kavorka" (the lure of the animal).
[edit] Trivia
- The writer of the episode, Bruce Kirschbaum, revealed later that he was unaware that the Latvian Orthodox church actually existed while writing the episode. His original intention was to have a fictitious religion. He later received several thank-you letters from the Church for bringing attention to the religion.
