In this season five episode, Jerry starts dating a deaf lineswoman (played by deaf actress Marlee Matlin), who has the ability to read lips. After George catches wind of her talent, he asks her to read lips on his behalf, hoping he can figure out why he was spontaneously dumped by a former lover. Series writer Carol Leifer came up with the idea after listening to deaf comedian Kathy Buckley tell a similar story on “The Howard Stern Show.”
