"The Trip" is the two-part fourth season premiere of the NBC sitcom Seinfeld. It comprises the 41st and 42nd episodes of the series overall, which aired on August 12 and August 19, 1992. Following Kramer's move to Los Angeles in the season 3 finale, "The Keys", this two-part episode sends Jerry and George to L.A. in search of Kramer while Jerry appears on The Tonight Show. Their search is complicated when police identifies Kramer as a serial killer known as the "Smog Strangler". Jerry and George then develop a pilot episode for a sitcom pitch to NBC in a story arc running through the rest of season 4.
