Eddie Sherman is a mailroom employee at J. Peterman Catalog. Elaine plans to fire him for incompetence.
When she meets him, she is intimidated by his gruff voice and military fatigues, so she promotes him instead just to have an excuse for the summons.
He does a terrible job, so Elaine promotes him again to get rid of him. The other writers quit in outrage because he was promoted over them, forcing Elaine to write the catalogue alone with Eddie.
When Elaine finds out he adopted his frightening persona after a failure to meet a nice Jewish woman and settle down, she takes him to the Jewish singles night, organized by Kramer and Frank Costanza.
Due to his impressive string of promotions, Cynthia -the mentor- makes Eddie a better job offer. Distraught at losing her last remaining writer, Elaine violently shakes him, making him choke on his food; this, combined with Eddie's fatigues, gives Frank a flashback of the food poisoning incident in Korea, driving him to throw his food off the tables and upend the entire buffet.
