Back in the past, Marge sharpens a spear to hunt and Homer hunts down a deer through brambles. Back in the present Homer tries to buy tickets from various ticket sites. Prehistoric Homer continues the hunt scaling a mountain and finally conquers the deer, yelling, just for present Homer presenting Marge his victory, Front Row Club tickets, in the same manner. In the playground, Bart presents the other kids the alternative to Milhouse's gloating, and they accept, leaving his side.

At the [[Naming Rights Still Available Arena]] parking lot, Marge, Bart and his friends see Milhouse and Luann taking kindergartners with them to the concert. In the past, the family keeps climbing the mountain. In present day, Marge arrives at the ticket booth where [[Raphael]] refuses their ticket because they need to use the app for tickets, but Homer deleted both the app and the password manager app. Marge then hears Kirk in the background of the call and Homer tells her that he is with Kirk for their fantasy football draft. Marge calls Homer a traitor and ends the call. In the past, the wolf reaches the family and launches Homer into a spike impaling him to death, instilling fear in the rest of the family. Marge, both in past and present, refuses to give in. Past Marge uses her spear to vault over the wolf while present Marge accelerates into the car park.
  
At home, Lisa shows Marge how her primitive brain is prevailing, and calms her down with a candel (just to have it catch the curtains on fire by accident). At the school meeting, Luann motions for Marge to be removed from the board for bullying Milhouse. Just like prehistoric Marge did in the past to protect her children, in the present, Marge defends her self against the accusations. The two fight in both times, accusing one another of different things till almost getting in a direct fight. In the past, the wolf destroys the family home and the family mourn the loss and start to move to the mountains.

Both Marges continue towards their goals, with present Marge and the kids sneaking into the arena by climbing over a fence and past Marge and the kids going over a large gap in the mountains. Present Marge gets into the arena after distracting the staff with outside food in the purses of other customers, while past Marge gets to the cave, only for the wolf to show up again. In the present, Marge and the kids get to the Front Row Club and Bart shows Marge her reflection, which shows her that she's been led by her emotions. As present Marge apologizes to Bart, past Marge defeats the wolf after a rock lands on it, but she decides to show it mercy and rescues it. Luann and Milhouse talk about Bart and Milhouse tells his mother that Bart is all he has. Marge then goes to see them and makes up with Luann and lets Milhouse go to the Front Row Club to be with Bart. In the past, the rest of the Simpsons are eating meat in a new hut, with the wolf as their pet and part of the family.
 
 
At the [[Naming Rights Still Available Arena]] parking lot, they meet Milhouse and Luann taking kindergartners with them at the concert. Meanwhile, in the past, the family keeps climbing the mountain. Marge arrives at the ticket boot, where [[Raphael]] refuses their ticket because they needed to use the app as ticket, but Homer deleted it too, including the app password, and finds out that Homer is with [[Kirk]] for their fantasy football draft, considering him a traitor and closes the call. In the past, the wolf reaches the family and launches Homer into a spike impaling him to death, instilling fear in the rest of the family. Marge, both in past and present, refuses to give in, and accelerates, one with the car, one with the spear, to their objective.
 
 
 
Prehistoric Marge manages to spear jump over the wolf to her kids, while present Marge barely avoids spike traps and manages to pass the guards, but both find a obsticle, a gap in the mountain and a high fence. In the past, she uses a big tree to cross, while in the present she tosses the kids over the fence and climbs it. To get past the ticket checks, she hides outside food in other people's purses and tells [[Squeaky-voiced teen]] about it, confusing them. In the past, the wolf awaits them at the entrance to the grotto, in the present, guards block the entrance.
 
 
 
In the present, she manages to pass using butter and the flash of the phone, but Bart points out what she become, a primitive looking scary woman, and tells her to take them home, not wanting to lose her only good parent. In the past, the wolf is hit by a rock fallen thanks to a thunder, but she manages to stop her anger and lift the rock from its foot and stitch it, and the wolf become like a pet.
 
 
 
At the end, Milhouse points out to Luann how he might be a bad influence but he's the only one he has, and Marge brings tickets to them saying how the front row wouldn't be the same without Bart's best friend. Marge and Luann hug and the prehistoric family had dinner in their new home, with Homer's head on a rock to remember him, with the wolf becoming like a dog to them, eating together.
