The Hibbert family changes idea on Marge's style, but Helen is not convinced yet, while Fat Tony appears with his son, offering her a job appreciating the work she did.
At Moe's Tavern, Homer tried fooling the guys, but Grampa unveils his trick, telling the story of his whistling talent being stopped by a performance going wrong, and asks Homer to bring her to become popular like he wished he become.
They bring Maggie to the Springfield City Zoo, to teach her new whistles, and Bart is disappointed he's the only son not to have talent, while vultures try to take Grampa, unsuccessfully. At the Springfield Post Office, Fat Tony airs Marge to redecorate it.

Marge convinces Fat Tony to close the whorehouse down, while Maggie, in front of the public, can't whistle anymore, due to a tooth growing in her mouth. Back at home, Homer says good night to Maggie, telling her to hide any other talent she has. When he's gone, she pulls out a beautiful black and white painting of Homer.
