Written by Jonathan Wolff
One story line concerning four characters (not Kramer, but Cynthia). The dialogue throughout the episode is as clever as it gets. The contrast between the superficial conversations between men and between women, the fully realized character of Cynthia. Not only the dialogue, but the story is relentless: phone conversations (with one of the first appearances of the split screen), the recurring fights, the little details thrown in there (Jerry's crisis with the soda, Elaine painting her apartment) that has nothing to do with the plot but just makes the characters so more realistic.
And the master Cherones giving such a perfectly subtle direction that's at the same time TV-like and cinematic.
Season 3 has it's up and downs and it is why it isn't consider one of the greats, but I believe that this season had more to do with Seinfeld's success than any other (aside from 4 and 5).
