Marge is angry with them and goes to the hairdresser and cut her hair so she looks like her sisters and buy the same clothes as them. Marge goes home and wakes Homer, which is sleeping on the couch, but instead of sleeping, he faints when he sees Marge. Bart and Lisa comes in and Marge tells to them why she has changed her style, but Lisa wonders if it's a good idea. Homer has woken up but can not look at Marge longer and faints again during the dinner.
