Plot
Jerry and his girlfriend, Meryl (Courteney Cox) posed as husband and wife so she could receive a 25% discount for the family on dry cleaning. George is seen urinating in the bathroom at the health club and fears he might be reported to management. Elaine is interested in Greg, a man in a health club. But he's confused by mixed signals, such as giving her an open lip kiss but then removing her water bottle when she offers her a drink. Meanwhile, Kramer lost sleep because Jerry took his favorite blanket to clean (so Kramer can get a family discount too).
Jerry and Meryl started fighting as if they were really married. Finally he "cheated" on Meryl by giving a dry cleaning discount to another woman (Rebecca Glenn).
Elaine discovers that Greg, the man she likes, is the same person who catches George urinating in the bathroom. When he finds out that he is actually interested in other women, he helps George avoid punishment by threatening to report Greg for not wiping his sweat from the machine.
When Jerry points out that Kramer looks pale from lack of sleep, Kramer goes to the tanning salon. However, he fell asleep in the tanning bed and became very dark. The episode ends with Kramer arriving to meet his African-American girlfriend's family. When he arrived, they were horrified and thought he was in black.
