"The Frying Game" is the twenty-first episode of the Simpsons' thirteenth season.

Plot

The endangered species 'Screamapiller' takes up residence in Homer's anniversary gift for Marge, a koi pond. Bound by law not to disturb it, Homer accidentally injures the loud, unsettling beast and is sentenced to community service.

Homer begins delivering Meals on Wheels to an elderly woman, Mrs. Bellamy, who takes a shine to him. She subtly guilts Homer and later, Marge, into becoming her personal servants. When Mrs. Bellamy turns up dead, having been stabbed with a pair of scissors, Homer and Marge are the prime suspects in the murder, even though they witnessed a man with braces leaving the murder scene, with Mrs. Bellamy's necklace. The people of Springfield are very suspicious of Homer and Marge, and Chief Wiggum does not believe their story, during an inspection of the house Maggie is found with Mrs. Bellamy's stolen necklace, presumably given to her by the Man with the braces. Bart, Lisa and Maggie are adopted by Cletus Spuckler, who decides to change their "city names."

Despite no lie detector or DNA test given, the two are sentenced to Death Row. In a successful bid to spare Marge, Homer confesses it was all him. As he is sitting in the electric chair, it is suddenly revealed to Homer that he is on a reality TV show, Frame Up that airs on FOX along with No Pants Island and Fart Date. The whole thing was just part of an elaborate hidden camera scheme, the "man with the braces" was the show's host, and Mrs. Bellamy is guest host Carmen Electra in disguise. Homer and Marge are reunited with the kids, but Homer is left furious that he had to suffer so the show could get big ratings.
