Bart is browsing scenes on TV, when he stumbles upon Muttflix, peaking Santa's Little Helper's interest, and he invites She Biscuit over since it's Mother's Day.
Bart and Lisa gift Marge mugs they made from school, gifting her the same gift they gave her previously, while Maggie gives her a baby's kiss, while teasing them for their lame gifts.
Meanwhile they notice that Homer is sad over hearing it's Mother's Day. After gifting Marge a framed picture of the kids, he continues crying remembering his mother, Mona.
Lisa suggests him to use the app Nutz for therapy on his loss and they bring him back 30 years ago to the day that Abe got notes from Mona that she's wanted by the FBI and was leaving them, and to avoid having to explain it, Grampa told a 9-year old Homer she was dead.
After learning how to drive at 16, after having a crash while driving with Hans Moleman and meeting a just hired Wiggum, he received a post card from Utah from Mona, while being monitored by FBI and Wiggum was checking donuts at Lard Lad Donuts.
In the present, Homer gets a better consultant on his case and returns to memory to the time he confronted his father about the truth on her death, with Grampa informing him of the truth, realizing he never gave her what she needed, to leave him.
But Homer wasn't satisfied and one day departed from home to go to Utah and find out once and for all, with Abe on the backseat and followed by the FBI. After bonding over the drive, they stop at the Latter Days Inn, where the waitress identifies Mona over the picture that Abe shows her and they start driving again.
They arrive at Texxon, where they spot Mona, but the moment she was coming to meet them, she spot the FBI agents and excaped, they start chasing her but Abe gets stuck and Homer decides to help him out since he never left him. Mona manages to escape in the van of a hippy and leaves for San Francisco.
