Plot

While Jerry helps George with a coffee table stain, Elaine must take the subway home; she takes Frank Costanza's ''TV Guide'' as reading material. George meets a woman at a furniture refinishing store and takes her to his parents' home, pretending that it is his. Jerry is interested in a Native American woman named Winona, but she is offended when he presents Elaine with a cigar store Indian as a peace offering. Having had sex with his furniture store quarry, George leaves a condom wrapper in his parents' bed; his parents discover not only the wrapper but also the absence of Frank's ''TV Guide'' (he is a collector) and punish him by grounding him. Kramer pitches his idea for a coffee table book about coffee tables to Elaine's boss.
