"The Beard" is the sixteenth episode of Season Six of Seinfeld. It is the 102nd episode overall, originally airing on February 9, 1995. It was written by Carol Leifer and was directed by Andy Ackerman.
Elaine has tickets for Swan Lake. She is going as a fake date, a "beard," for her homosexual friend Robert (Robert Mailhouse), who believes his boss is homophobic. George is still wearing his toupee ("The Scofflaw") and only Kramer thinks he looks handsome. Kramer tries to set up a date for George, but as George wants to see what she looks like and Kramer doesn't have a picture of her they go to the police station where an acquaintance, who works as a sketch artist, can draw them her likeness.
On their way to the station, Kramer gives Chinese food leftovers to a homeless man (Jon Gries). At the police station, George likes the picture and Jerry has his eye on a female Sergeant, Sgt. Cathy Tierny (Katherine LaNasa). On their way back Kramer argues with the homeless man and cannot retrieve his Tupperware container. At the ballet Elaine is acting as Robert's girlfriend.
Back at Monk's Cafe Elaine talks with Jerry how nice Robert is, and the possibility to make him "change teams" (i.e., "convert" to heterosexuality). Jerry says conversion is not possible since they are only comfortable with their own "equipment."
At Jerry's Apartment Kramer needs a Tupperware to save his meal. George arrives very confident after talking on the phone with Denise, Kramer's friend. Jerry mocks George's "hair hat" telling him Denise will find out.
Kramer decides to eat lunch at the police station with his friend Lou, the sketch artist, and Jerry tags along to meet with Sgt. Tierny. At the station, Kramer stands in a police lineup for quick $50. George meets Denise at Monk's, although she is wearing a hat to hide her baldness. While looking at the lie detector, Jerry's new girlfriend, Sgt. Cathy, wants him to take the test to see whether or not he watches Melrose Place. Even though Jerry denies watching the show, he actually does watch it. Later, Elaine mocks Jerry for not telling her that he watched Melrose Place. Jerry then wants George to tell him how to beat the polygraph.
Elaine is going on another "date" with Robert and she is ready to perform the conversion. At Jerry's apartment, George arrives disgusted saying that Denise is bald and tells Kramer this which surprises him. After arguing that George is, too, bald (although he claims "I WAS bald!"), Elaine angrily throws his wig out the window, and the homeless guy picks it up. After the date, Elaine invites Robert to her apartment.
•Jerry: Hey, there he is. So what happened? Could she detect it?
•George: That's an interesting question.
•Jerry: How so?
•George: How so? I'll tell you how so. She's bald!
•Elaine: What do you mean, bald?
•George: What do you think I mean, bald? Bald. BALD bald!
