Warning: Spoilers
The Junior Mint is about Jerry trying to find out the name of the woman he's dating and the miracle from above, during an operation which Jerry and Kramer attend and partake.

Takes a while to get into this one, the only thing happening is George is watching Home Alone at Jerry's apartment. There's no sound from the movie and the group are all talking next to the television, how could a movie be watched like this?

Elaine's ex-boyfriend Roy's in hospital for surgery and the gang minus George in the room before the operation. The doctor comes in and Jerry's doing yo-yo tricks, Kramer's asking procedure questions and the doctor's responding to them like they're Roy's mates. It's amusing. Jerry and Kramer are then in the operating room above and Kramer forces a Junior Mint upon Jerry, he doesn't want it and pushes Kramer's hand back releasing the mint into the air and falling into the open wound of Roy. George buys some of Roy's art because Elaine says things aren't looking good, and he knows about the mint. Jerry's girlfriend's over, he looks through her purse for identification while she's in the bathroom and gets caught, but says he's looking for candy, she responds "Oh, I have Junior Mints". Jerry throws the purse back at her in shock response and yells NO!. :) George and Kramer both come to the door at separate times and introduce themselves to her, but she just says "Nice to meet you." It's a solid episode that only really gets going in the second half.

Jerry: What are you doing, are you crying? George: No... Jerry: You're crying from "Home Alone"? George: The old man got to me.

Doctor: I have no medical evidence to back me up but something happened during the operation that staved off that infection. Something beyond science. Something perhaps... from above.

Jerry: Gipple?
