Complete story — includes the ending

George is adored by his own girlfriend Karen and loathed by Jerry's girlfriend Jodi at the same time, and labors in vain to earn Jodi's approval while neglecting Karen. Jodi, a masseuse, passes over Jerry while offering her services to everyone else, even though Jerry wants a massage from her more than sex. Elaine's boyfriend's attractive qualities are overshadowed by him sharing a name with serial killer Joel Rifkin, and she tries to nudge him to change his name. Kramer's pleasure at Jodi's hands drives Jerry green with envy until he resolves to get a massage non-consensually.
