| Episode Information
|
Marge accidentally bought Burley paper towels and was going to return them when she "falls in love" with the lumberjack on them and finds that they're super absorbent.
Homer becomes jealous and goes to
Ned Flanders house to call her. He says "Hello, I'm Chad Sexington, the lumberjack from Burley paper towels." He also says he's going to come for dinner, so
Homer gets
Barney to come dressed up like him.
Marge is humiliated once she realizes it is just a prank, but goes with
Homer, and the kids to a fancy restaurant. When a hypnotist tells
Homer he is a twelve year old boy, he starts screaming. The next day
Lenny and
Carl bring him home from work because his screaming continued. Every one including
Moe says he must be screaming because of a repressed memory.
Marge makes
Homer some memory (Yaqui) tea. After he drinks it, he remembers
Lenny,
Carl,
Moe, and himself going to the quarry swimming hole.
Homer was the only one dumb enough to jump in and found it was now a mud puddle. Wondering why the water was not coming out he loosened the blockage and the water came out along with a decaying corpse that ended up in his lap. Then in the present, the Simpsons visit the quarry, leaving the others behind. They find
Chief Wiggum there and when
Marge throws the Burley paper towels in, it absorbs the water where they find the corpse is now a skeleton. They go into the drainpipe and disover a hatch to
Mr. Burns' ofice.
Chief Wiggum accuses him for murder. Mr. Burns shows a movie proving his innocence. It shows that the body was Waylon Smithers Sr. who died in a nuclear accident. When
Waylon Smithers Jr. sees the movie, he finds out the truth of how his father died, a hero. When the Simpsons get back to there house, the next day
Moe Szyslak comes over with clues, and
Marge and
Homer humor him.
