Plot
gets George a job at Pendant Publishing. To repay her, he goes to the store and finds her a cashmere sweater that has a minor flaw, for which it was marked down considerably. After going back and forth for a short time George decides to go through with the purchase and the reasoning being that she will never even see the spot. Elaine is elated when given the sweater but Kramer bursts into Jerry's apartment and immediately points out the red dot. She quickly becomes furious at George and returns the sweater to him. Jerry inadvertently reintroduces Elaine's boyfriend Dick, a recovering alcoholic, to liquor. This causes Dick to "fall off the wagon," thus losing his job at the same publishing company where George and Elaine work. Later, a drunk Dick heckles Jerry during one of his stand up comedy acts. While George is working at his new job, he becomes attracted to a cleaning lady named Evie and has sex with her after they both drink Hennigan's Scotch. The next day, Evie gets upset over what happened the previous night and threatens to report it to the boss of the company. George tries to compensate with her by offering the flawed cashmere sweater. Evie is overjoyed with the gift, launching into an emotional story about her first cashmere experience involving wealthy people visiting her village and her being in awe of their clothing which was of course cashmere. She then notices the red dot and goes through to tell Mr. Lippman, Elaine and George's Boss at this time. While there, George pleads his case as he was "unaware" that those were the rules and did not know his actions were not allowed before being told of course that he was fired. As George is packing his things in the office Jerry was waiting there so he could take him out to dinner in order to cheer him up. While there they run into Elaine and then consequently Dick. They hear a drunken Dick rampaging through the hallway, coming to get his revenge on Jerry for losing his job. The three hide under George's desk as Dick approaches. George offers the cashmere sweater to Dick; this calms his rage until he sees the dot. Jerry recounts the incident during his stand up comedy act. Dick is among the audience, smiling with a coffee cup in his hand. One of the main jokes being whether an alcoholic was considered to be "off" or "on" "the wagon".
