What happens

12:33–16:13

George considers calling his father for help. Jerry reads a newspaper article revealing Owen March suffered a stroke at a friend's apartment (Elaine's). The article states the damage was far more severe due to paramedic delay caused by the gridlock from George's accident. Elaine realizes she was five seconds away from breaking up with him before the stroke.
