Homer then goes to talk to Howard K. Duff VIII the boss and discovers that he is moving the team to Alberquerque. Homer tries to tell the news this but the room is replaced by a dancer. Homer then goes on a hunger strike to tell everyone the truth but no one believes him and when a bunch of people see Homer, Howard K. Duff uses Homer as an attraction in the field. Homer is then hungry and is offered a hot dog and all the toppings are ones from Alberquerque. Everybody then learns the truth and Homer becomes a hero.

He is later seen once again when Tabitha Vixx and Buck Mitchell reunite with each other after a rough patch in their marriage.
