Jerry's neighbor, Martin, tries to commit suicide and ends up in the hospital. There he meets his girlfriend, Gina, who immediately starts to flirt with Jerry.
Meanwhile, George and Elaine visit a pregnant psychic who tells George to cancel his trip to the Cayman Islands. When Elaine scolds the psychic, Rula, for smoking while pregnant, she kicks them out and George never finds out why she wanted him to cancel his trip. Playing it safe, he sells his tickets to Kramer.
When Jerry sees his neighbor, Newman, who is also his nemesis and Martin's friend, he worries that Newman has seen him with Gina. He offers to give Newman a Drake's Coffee Cake he has in exchange for his secrecy, but much to his dismay, Elaine has eaten the entire cake due to her lack of willpower during her three-day fast for her ulcer test. Newman tells Martin about the affair as soon as he wakes up, and Jerry is choked.
Kramer returns from the Cayman Islands only to reveal that he had an amazing trip, and the one downside was that he was mildly stung by a jellyfish, presumably the bad thing that the psychic predicted.
