{{WIP|LetsPlayNintendoITA}}
 
[[Homer]] is dressing for the 35th annual Springie Awards, and has trouble with his neck button, swallowing it, when [[Marge]] saves him using the {{W|Abdominal thrusts|Heimlich maneuver}}, then [[Grampa]] shows up, dressed for his funeral, but is informed they're not attending his funeral.
 
  
At the Awards, several Springfielders are presented and take photos of on the carpet. [[Duffman]] is presenting the show, presenting the [[Duff Lite]], followed by [[Quimby]] sponsoring the [[Springfield Academy Museum]], and then Duffman presents a memoriam for [[Hans Moleman]], which is actually still alive (despite his previous multiple decipted deaths). [[Ned Flanders]] is then awarded the Springfield's Nicest Person Award.

The family are getting ready to go to the 35th annual [[Springie Awards]], but [[Homer]] is struggling with the neck button on his shirt. He end up accidentally swallowing the button and gestures for [[Marge]] to give him the {{W|Abdominal thrusts|Heimlich maneuver}}, which she does. [[Grampa]] comes into the room, wearing his funeral suit and the family goes to the award show. [[Duffman]] presents the show and introduces the award givers. A majority of people in town win awards, except the [[Simpson family]]. Finally, Marge wins an award for Most Underappreciated Person. However, when she accepts the award, she wakes up showing that it was all a dream.
  
Next, the Best Sailboat Painting awards goes to [[Sideshow Mel]], the same painting the [[Simpson family]] has, and Mel tells them that he won because the one they have is askew. The final one is the Most Underappreciated Person award, which goes to Marge. But it's just revealed that it was all a dream, that Marge has in bed holding one of the springs coming out of it.
+
Marge goes about her day but doesn't feel appreciated by anybody. She ends up taking [[Santa's Little Helper]] to the vet, and [[Bart]] to hospital. She also repeatedly tries to call and leave messages for Homer on his phone, but Homer doesn't receive them as [[Moe]] was using a jammer to block phone signals. While Homer, [[Lenny]], and [[Carl]] are messing around, Homer rips his pants. When Moe breaks the jammer trying to shoot a rat, Homer gets the messages and realizes that Marge has been trying to get hold of him all day. He rushes home and Marge is angry at him for ignoring her calls. Homer then asks Marge to repair his pants before he goes to bed.
  
She wanted to continue the dream, but reality kicks in as the family annoys her more, her mother tells her that it's worse when she visits her and [[Santa's Little Helper]] has developed Dogzheimer's, [[Bart]] broke his fingers at the baseball game, and then Homer doesn't answer her messages and calls for help on the phone because [[Moe]] disrupted the phone service at the [[Moe's Tavern|Tavern]].
+
The next day, Marge is watching ''[[Trash for Cash]]'' while fixing Homer's pants. On the show, a woman sells an identical pair of [[Leevi's]] pants for $2,600. Marge then decides to tell Homer that she couldn't repair her pants and Homer wears sweatpants to work instead. Meanwhile, Marge takes Homer's pants to [[The Haber-Cashery]] where she sells them to [[Collectible Pants Dude]] for $2,595. At the [[Power Plant]], [[Mr. Burns]] and [[Smithers]] watch ''[[Oppenheimer]]'' and Burns tells Smithers that he wants to be better than [[J. Robert Oppenheimer|Oppenheimer]]. Burns takes several of his employees to the reactor core where other employees are putting small amounts of fissionable uranium around the {{W|demon core}} with the intention of stopping just before it hits critical mass. However, they add too much and the plant starts to go into meltdown. As everyone struggled in their bulky suits, Homer runs into the core and removes a block of uranium, stopping the meltdown. Mr. Burns then gives Homer two tickets to a baseball game as a reward.
  
Homer gets back home drunk and with his pants ripped apart, and Marge is very angry. Later, while watching Trash for Cash, she's much stressed but finds out she can bid Homer's pants for lots of money, so she lies to Homer about not being able to fix the pants and hides them in her hair. Homer wears swatpants going at work, while Marge goes to [[The Haber-Cashery]] to sell the pants.
+
Meanwhile, Marge is out looking for what she could spend the money on. She fells guilty about it though and goes to see [[Reverend Lovejoy]] before she goes to the [[Towne Centre at Springfielde Glenne]]. When she calls Homer to admit that she sold his pants, she hears that Homer's at a ball game and gets annoyed. Marge then goes into [[Spiffany's]] and buys the most expensive ring she can get with the money she had. However, after buying the ring, Marge starts to feel very guilty about it and tries to hide it around the house, but is never satisfied with where it is.
  
There, she meets the owner, [[Collectible Pants Dude]], cousin of [[Comic Book Guy]], and he tries to scam her, but with her telling him she saw an offer for them for $3,000 on [[EBay]], he offers her $2,595. At the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|Power Plant]], [[Mr. Burns]] almost causes a {{W|Demon core}} incident, but Homer saves them all with his new sweatpants, moving faster than others, and recieves tickets to a baseball game.
+
At Moe's, Moe tells Homer that he is selfish and ungrateful towards Marge. This leads to Homer feeling bad as he goes home. When he gets home, he finds the ring that Marge bought and gets angry. However, as he thinks about how much Marge does for him, he realizes that Marge deserves to have the ring. He slips the ring onto Marge's finger as she was asleep and tells her that he wished he had bought the ring for her to show her how much she means to him. The next day, Marge feels like she can no longer feel guilty about buying the ring. However, as she was watching the news, [[Kent Brockman]] reports that {{W|Amnesty International}} has declared the blue blood diamond is the most unethically mined gem. Marge then decides to only wear the ring in the house.
 
 
Marge arrives at [[Abercrombie & Rich]], but is not happy. After giving some money to the [[First Church of Springfield|church]], she tries to call Homer, but gets angry at not being invited to the baseball game, and changes idea on telling him about the money. Her next destination is [[Spiffany's]], where she asks to buy the biggest ring she can buy with the money to [[Yes Guy]].
 
 
 
She gets guiltier and guiltier till she gets home, removes the ring and gets a guilt rash, and she tries to hide it everywhere, till she hides it in the attic, where she gets scared first by [[Lisa]] looking for her report cards, then Bart hiding in there from the cops, having pulled a prank on their car, and then [[Maggie]], which doesn't judge her, using it as a pacifier.
 
 
 
At the Tavern, Homer starts to think he doesn't appreciate Marge enough, and Moe points to him, with a song, how he's a selfish guy, before throwing him out. Back at home, Marge leaves the ring near the stairs, where Homer finds them, calling her selfish, before considering all the things she does for them, and puts the ring back on her finger, having one last beautiful moment in bed.
