After praying to God, Homer finds himself at Deuce's Caboose Chili Dogs, and eats hot dogs till morning. Coming back home, he tells the family about where he went and Grampa tells the story of how Homer went there with Grampa and Grandma Simpson every week in his childhood, but didn't come back for 30 years.

To releave himself from the stress of the news he comes back to the caboose and eats some more hot dogs, asking the owner if he remembers him, but he doesn't.
