Kramer's desperation to get the water out of his ears causes him to jump up and down on the plane and, as a result, he stumbles and falls into the cockpit, which causes the pilots to lose control. While the plane is nosediving, the four prepare for death. George, momentarily feeling the need to confess, reveals he cheated in "The Contest", and Elaine begins to tell Jerry that she always loved him; but the plane steadies itself and they make a safe emergency landing in the fictional small town of Latham, Massachusetts.
