Next, Homer is working on a exercise bike and is having medical trouble, and Lisa shows how the marriage with Marge is troubled, that nearly fell apart when she turned 14. The family this time remembers, and brings Leon Kompowsky to sing new verses for Happy Birthday, Lisa, while Homer brings a cake with Happy twelfh twelvth 12th birday, upsetting her.
Lisa returns home from school in the bus, and discovers a letter in a suitcase, while placing some packs in Marge's closet, saying that she left him and opened a bed and breakfast with the other kids, and a tablet with Artie Ziff mocking him for it, however Marge hasn't left yet.
At dinner, Marge gets angry at Homer for drinking in front of the kids, and tells him to go to Moe's Tavern to drink. Marge goes to the kitchen to cry and Lisa is ready to take action. At the tavern, Moe now has artificial spider-like legs, while Lisa enters to tell him that Marge is going to leave him and makes him promise that he'll stop drinking. He calls his sponsor to help him to stop, and it's Ned. He succedes and the marriage was saved.
