George orders a baldness remedy from China. Elaine anonymously leaves an erotic message on Jerry's tape recorder which Jerry, George, and Kramer become obsessed with. Elaine admits to George that she was the sexy voice in the tape. George is shocked to hear this and suddenly becomes attracted to her, but does not tell Elaine about it. Elaine makes George promise not to tell her confession to Jerry or Kramer. Meanwhile, Kramer is making his own home videos by recording whatever Jerry, George and Elaine are doing. George finds it hard to control his obsession with Elaine and finally blurts out to Elaine that he is attracted to her, in front of Jerry and Kramer. Elaine finds this news disturbing and then realizes that Jerry and Kramer have become attracted to her too. Freaked out, Elaine immediately leaves Jerry's apartment.
- This is the first appearance of the delivery boy Ping. He would appear again, and be an important character in The Virgin and The Visa.
- George: What do the Chinese have to gain by faking a cure for baldness?
- Jerry: If it was real, they would never let it out of the country. Imagine no baldness, it'd be like a nation of Supermen.
The term comes from years ago when the "tape" was actually a ticker tape.
