THE DAILY NOTHING

Concerned for a security guard at Susan's uncle's store who must stand all day, George delivers a rocking chair to the store, using his standing as the owner's soon-to-be nephew to override objections. The guard is so comfortable in the chair that he sleeps through a robbery. Elaine begins dating Bob Cobb, a.k.a. the "Maestro", and immerses herself in classical music.

The Maestro gives Kramer a balm for his coffee burn from the previous episode, but Kramer is caught off-guard by how quickly the balm heals his burn. At a meeting with the coffee chain Java World to negotiate an out-of-court settlement, he is so nervous at the possibility that they will ask to see the burn that he eagerly agrees to the settlement as soon as a Java World representative mentions unlimited free coffee, cutting him off before he can finish listing the terms of the offer. This infuriates Kramer's lawyer Jackie Chiles, who realizes that Java World were about to mention monetary compensation.

Jerry is frustrated that Elaine and George have no problem with Bob's insistence on being called "Maestro" instead of his real name; furthermore, the Maestro's unsolicited declaration that there are no houses to rent anywhere in Tuscany makes him suspect Maestro of lying to keep him out of Tuscany. Jerry asks Poppie about the matter. He is referred to Poppie's cousin, who appears to be a mafia boss, making Jerry too afraid to turn down his insistent offer that he rent a house.

Elaine and the Maestro are enjoying his house in Tuscany when Jerry and Kramer noisily arrive at the house across the street in a taxi; both Elaine and the Maestro react with exasperation.
