Elaine dates a man who shares the name of real-life serial killer Joel Rifkin (Anthony Cistaro) and tries to convince him to change his name. Elaine is constantly bothered by her colleagues at work asking her to be careful and making semi-serious jokes about the possibility of her boyfriend being a serial killer by the name association. Elaine wishes that he has a different name, as he is good looking and a gentleman. The serial killer Joel Rifkin strangled 18 people. Elaine gives him ideas from the names of some professional football players such as OJ Simpson. Joel tells Elaine that he is adopted, which worries Elaine as Kramer told her that most serial killers turn out that way because they were adopted.
Jerry's girlfriend, a masseuse Jodi (Jennifer Coolidge), seems unwilling to give Jerry a massage, even as she takes Kramer as a client. Meanwhile, she is not fond of George, leading him incessantly to wonder why, even to his neglect of his own girlfriend Karen (Lisa Edelstein). George & Karen had gone on a double date with Jerry and Jodi, and George notices that Jodi ignored him all night and all his stories. Jodi later tells Jerry that she felt offended when George made the joke about attractive women not getting traffic tickets. George has gotten back together with Karen. Karen is the woman with whom George had the erectile dysfunction issue, which he then solved by eating a mango to get his Mojo back. After Jodi and Jerry leave, George spends all his time telling Karen how Jodi ignored him all night.
Jerry hates it when Kramer describes the sensual massage he got from Jodi. Jerry forbids Kramer from getting a massage from Jodi. "If he can't get one, then no one can". Jerry also tells George that Jodi did not like him. George is now obsessed to find why Jodi did not like him. He goes all the way down with Jodi from Jerry's apartment, carries her massage table for her, puts her into a cab and waves her goodbye and still Jodi makes a face at her.
Elaine and Joel fight over selecting a new name. They both keep vetoing each other's choices and feel insulted. Elaine had Ned, Ellis and Remy, while Joel had Stuart, Todd and Alex. Kramer's back is sore after attending a football game and leaping over rows of seats to catch the winning field goal. Jerry still won't allow him to get a massage from Jodi.
Karen gets sick of hearing George complaining about Jodi. George and Karen split, when George gets up in the middle of Karen slobbering over him & decides to straighten things out with Jodi. He says, he can't stand when people don't like him. Karen says "I hate you now", George says "Now that, I am used to". George still leaves the house to make up with Jodi.
Eventually, Jerry goes insane and angrily tries to force his girlfriend to give him the massage. Jodi says that No means No. Jerry calls her a massage teaser. Jodi won't submit to a forcible massage. She leaves, encountering George on the way out the apartment door, who professes his growing fondness for her. George says that Jodi hates him so much that he finds her irresistible.
