Complete story — includes the ending

After George's messy eating at the US Open is televised, George's girlfriend Gwen breaks up with him, but will not say why. Jerry starts dating a deaf lineswoman ( Marlee Matlin ), Laura, who helps Kramer get hired as a ball boy despite him being an adult. Elaine fakes deafness to shut up an overly talkative livery driver, but gets caught out and tries to make amends. George recruits Laura to read Gwen's lips at a party to find out why he got dumped, but then must rely on Kramer's rusty sign language skills to relay Laura's lip-reading.
