At the Tweeter Sinai Bird Hospital, the veterinarian cures the chicken, Gwyneth Poultry, but the mother presents the bill, $16,000, to the Simpsons to cover it, and so Marge commits to get a job to pay for it, and she applies to be a cook for the GimmeChow app.
Gil is their shift manager presents the job and they accept, but when the job starts, the list of orders is too much to take and they all scramble to prepare the food, with Marge slipping on mayonnaise and saying the f-word.
