Couch Gag: The family crawls into a living room made from sand, and everything collapses into the sands of a desert once they sit. Synopsis The Simpsons celebrate a brunch at a fancy restaurant to congratulate Homer finally paying off the mortgage. After Bart and Lisa get in a food fight, Homer goes to Moe's, but the health inspector comes for a visit and dies when he eats one of Moe's pickled eggs. The new inspector declares Moe's Tavern to be closed until the violations are cleared up. Moe's Tavern is now closed, with the regulars holding an Irish wake for its demise. Homer helps Moe reopen his bar, by getting a new mortgage for their home, but he forges Marge's name and she becomes a new co-owner. Homer visits a cleaned-up Moe's with Marge running in order to protect their investment, and she wants him to take care of the kids, and suggests that Moe's should become an English pub, which opens and is a success, with Bart and Lisa noticing that Marge spent more time at Moe's than Homer ever did. Homer is worried, but Marge has no problem with it. Homer and Marge go to a movie together, only to be joined by Moe, and learning from Lenny and Carl that Marge and Moe are having an emotional affair. Homer is also scared when the two go to a bartender convention in Aruba, with Homer rushing to the airport and getting to the airplane as it is taxing down the runway to confront Moe. Moe admits he doesn't know much about Marge, and she tells Moe she doesn't love him. Homer, Marge, and Moe go to Aruba, but Bart enters himself, Lisa, and Maggie in a European balloon race. Notes - This episode was dedicated to the memory of Johnny Carson, who died a week before this episode aired.
- The scene where there's a new computer-animated movie from Dreamworks, Cards, parodies many other computer-animated movies. Also, computer animation is used for the first time since the episode "Treehouse of Horror VI".
- This also marks the return of the Itchy & Scratchy Land theme park.
- You can also hear Barney's voice from "Homer's Barbershop Quartet" in this episode.
- Over the end credits, Homer and Marge sing Captain & Tennille's song "Love Will Keep Us Together"; this was actually a deleted scene from "Co-Dependent's Day".
Quotes - (The rendition of "Love Will Keep Us Together")
Marge: Love...love will keep us together.
Homer: Think of me, babe, whenever/Some sweet-talking guy in a thong/Hands you a bong/Don't take a hit/You just got to be strong
Marge: Just stop
Homer: Cause I want a sandwich
Marge: I said stop
Homer: Or maybe a manwich.
