- Jerry hires a maid, Cindy (played by Angela Featherstone), whom he then starts sleeping with. Elaine discovers she has 57 messages on her answering machine when Kramer attempts to send her a fax. George tries to get a nickname (T-Bone) but a co-worker gets the one he wanted instead. George tries reasoning with the new T-Bone to get his nickname. When he walks into the meeting room carrying a banana, his co-workers nickname him Koko since George was flailing around like a monkey when he was talking to the new T-Bone.
The episode also featured the New York area code 646. When the 212-area code ran out of numbers, 646 was created. Kramer signs up to receive restaurant menus by fax with a service called "Now We're Cooking" but uses Elaine's phone number, mistakenly thinking she had a fax machine. Annoyed by the non-stop calls from the fax service, Elaine changes her phone number and gets one with the 646-area code. She is not happy with the new number, because she believes the area code makes it too long to dial. She is proved correct when attempting to give her number to a man in the park. Initially eager, he hesitates when he sees the 646-area code and asks if it is in New Jersey. Her response is, "No, it's just like 212 except they multiplied every number by 3... and added 1 to the middle number." He makes an excuse and walks off. When her neighbor Mrs. Krantz dies, Elaine manages to get her old 212 number. Mrs. Krantz's grandson Bobby keeps calling Elaine's apartment, ignorant of the fact that his grandmother is dead. Elaine tries to convince Bobby that his grandmother has died by pretending to die herself; this backfires when Bobby dials 911 and firefighters beat down Elaine's door.
Kramer's girlfriend moves downtown, leading him to struggle with the drawbacks of a "long-distance relationship." Meanwhile, Jerry begins to realize that because of their relationship, Cindy is no longer doing any work, but he's still paying her, which leads Kramer to comment "Uh-oh - you're a John!" When Jerry confronts Cindy, she walks out on the job and the relationship.
Jerry later meets Cindy's boss Maxwell (Anthony Crivello) - a parody of a pimp - who threateningly tells Jerry that if he doesn't get the money from Jerry, he'll get it from Cindy. Meanwhile, Kramer breaks up with his girlfriend when she refuses to move, and he gets lost in the Lower East Side. When Jerry goes to pick him up, he spots Cindy and slows down to give her the money - Unfortunately, a passing policeman mistakes them for a prostitute and a John. Later, a lost Kramer is approached by Maxwell and is talked into a maid job, joking about the similarities between the scene and Kramer being approached by a pimp.
During the credits, George purposely hires a woman named Coco (Davenia McFadden) (who was referred to earlier by Cindy) as Vice-President of Acquisitions; Kruger (Daniel Von Bargen) states there shouldn't be two Koko/Coco's and George goes back to being George again, much to his satisfaction. As Kruger begins to talk about removing a stain, Coco mentions her Gammy when she was in Jamaica, but George interrupts her saying no one cares about her Gammy. As Kruger wonders who is Gammy and saying there should be one, he decides to give George the nickname "Gammy". As everyone (including Coco) eagerly chant "Gammy", George says "Gammy is getting upset!"
