History[edit]
In the year 2010, Lisa was in university. Hugh and Lisa bumped into each other, which annoyed Lisa. Hugh then took the last soy-based snack from the vending machine, took an elevator before Lisa could then checked out the last copy of Ecosystem of the Marsh before Lisa could. This really got on Lisa's nerves and she confronted Hugh because she wanted the book. Hugh and Lisa then read it together, racing to try and beat each page. They then started arguing with each other before making out. Lisa and Hugh then start dating.
Hugh then asked Lisa to go back with him to London to visit his parents. In London, Hugh asked Lisa to marry her, and Lisa said yes. They then fly back to Springfield to start planning the wedding, staying at Homer and Marge's house. When they arrive, Homer and Bart hoist a Union Jack flag to welcome Hugh but it sets on fire. After stamping on it and shoveling manure onto it to put it out, they give it to Hugh, who was sad about the flag. Homer then puts Lisa and Hugh in the new guest room, which he had built himself. Then the floor beneath Hugh gave way and Hugh fell onto the pile of manure beneath it.
Hugh then had dinner with the Simpsons and got disgusted at their behavior at the table. Homer tried to tell Hugh an American joke, telling Hugh to pull his finger, to which Hugh said that they have that joke in England as well. Homer and Bart then offered to take Hugh out on the town, with Homer trying to get Hugh to pull his finger again. Homer then tried to make Hugh feel more at home by driving on the left, which terrified him.
Homer and Bart took Hugh to Moe's Tavern. At Moe's, Homer asked Hugh to continue the wedding tradition that his father started, wearing a pair of pig cuff links. Hugh hated them but said that he'd wear them anyway. At some point on their night out, they visited a pornographic magazine warehouse and had to hide in a dumpster after the fire alarm went off, resulting in Hugh getting a gash on his forehead.
