Homer has completed the elusive fifth position in the hammock and wanted her to take a picture for Hammock World Monthly. Marge tells Homer she was busy painting, and the two start to argue. Marge throws her painting in the garbage, but Bart and Lisa pick it up. A businessman comes along and buys the painting from them for $500. Lisa hesitates to sell it, but Bart persuades her. Lisa wants to use the money to do something nice for Marge.
While watching TV, Bart and Lisa see a commercial for a romantic hotel offering artistic self-expression classes for women and a well-stocked sports bar for men. They book a weekend at the hotel for Marge and Homer, tricking them into thinking they won the visit, and arrange for Grampa to babysit.
At the hotel, Marge enrolls in an artistic self-expression class, earning compliments from the teacher, Nick Aphrodite. However, when Homer interrupts to talk about Hammock World Monthly, Marge becomes irritated and leaves. Feeling guilty, Homer meets Professor Frink, who sells him a love potion called Romancetrex-9, designed to create feelings of understanding and respect.
