The Invitations
"The Invitations" is the 24th and final episode of the seventh season of Seinfeld and the 134th overall episode. It originally aired on NBC on May 16, 1996, and was the last episode written by co-creator Larry David before he left the writing staff at the end of this season (returning only to write the series finale in 1998). This episode was directed by Andy Ackerman.
As the season finale, "The Invitations" resolves the season 7 story arc of George's engagement to Susan. Afraid to call off their impending wedding, George makes last-ditch efforts to get Susan to do it. Jerry proposes to a woman who is a mirror image of himself, and Kramer challenges the wording of a bank's service guarantee.
The black comedy of the engagement story arc's resolution was controversial. In 2005, TV Guide ranked the episode #8 as part of its "Top 100 Most Unexpected Moments in TV History".
