What happens

08:00–10:51

While waiting, George recounts the humiliating reason Tatiana is angry: he stopped during their first sexual encounter because he needed a bowel movement but feared her bathroom lacked a 'buffer zone' for privacy. He told her it would be best if he left, mid-act. It took days to get her to agree to speak again. Jerry and Elaine are stunned. Jerry remains fixated on the woman in the striped shirt.
