When you watch season 9 you fully understand that Jerry Seinfeld's heart just wasn't into the show anymore. After Larry David left Seinfeld had to try to run the show on his own and season 8 reflects his uncertainty with a lot of hit and misses where he's trying to find his voice, Seinfeld has commented how he wasn't sure he could even do the show without Larry, when you get to season 9 you can tell it just ran its course with him and he wasn't interested anymore. This clip show episode is evidence of that, rather than write two episodes for the season they mailed it in with a clip show, something that would never happen today because fans would go insane.

Season 9 limping to the finish line
24 April 2021
I have no clue how this episode has an 8.0 because it is barely watchable, like a lot of season 9 it suffers from poor writing to the point a half hour feels like an hour or more. Bad casting, a poor sluggish plot, weak jokes and ridiculous events makes this feel like a messy script cobbled together half-heartedly that nobody involved even wanted to film. Being that it's the last episode the post-Larry David writers got to make and were all in charge of writing together maybe there were too many cooks in the kitchen but the end product is one of the worst episodes of the season if not the series itself.
