Homer is dressing for the 35th annual Springie Awards, and has trouble with his neck button, swallowing it, when Marge saves him using the Heimlich maneuver, then Grampa shows up, dressed for his funeral, but is informed they're not attending his funeral.

At the Awards, several Springfielders are presented and take photos of on the carpet. Duffman is presenting the show, presenting the Duff Lite, followed by Quimby sponsoring the Springfield Academy Museum, and then Duffman presents a memoriam for Hans Moleman, which is actually still alive (despite his previous multiple decipted deaths). Ned Flanders is then awarded the Springfield's Nicest Person Award.

Next, the Best Sailboat Painting awards goes to Sideshow Mel, the same painting the Simpson family has, and Mel tells them that he won because the one they have is askew. The final one is the Most Underappreciated Person award, which goes to Marge. But it's just revealed that it was all a dream, that Marge has in bed holding one of the springs coming out of it.

She wanted to continue the dream, but reality kicks in as the family annoys her more, her mother tells her that it's worse when she visits her and Santa's Little Helper has developed Dogzheimer's, Bart broke his fingers at the baseball game, and then Homer doesn't answer her messages and calls for help on the phone because Moe disrupted the phone service at the Tavern.

Homer gets back home drunk and with his pants ripped apart, and Marge is very angry. Later, while watching Trash for Cash, she's much stressed but finds out she can bid Homer's pants for lots of money, so she lies to Homer about not being able to fix the pants and hides them in her hair. Homer wears swatpants going at work, while Marge goes to The Haber-Cashery to sell the pants.

There, she meets the owner, Collectible Pants Dude, cousin of Comic Book Guy, and he tries to scam her, but with her telling him she saw an offer for them for $3,000 on EBay, he offers her $2,595. At the Power Plant, Mr. Burns almost causes a Demon core incident, but Homer saves them all with his new sweatpants, moving faster than others, and recieves tickets to a baseball game.

Marge arrives at Abercrombie & Rich, but is not happy. After giving some money to the church, she tries to call Homer, but gets angry at not being invited to the baseball game, and changes idea on telling him about the money. Her next destination is Spiffany's, where she asks to buy the biggest ring she can buy with the money to Yes Guy.

She gets guiltier and guiltier till she gets home, removes the ring and gets a guilt rash, and she tries to hide it everywhere, till she hides it in the attic, where she gets scared first by Lisa looking for her report cards, then Bart hiding in there from the cops, having pulled a prank on their car, and then Maggie, which doesn't judge her, using it as a pacifier.

At the Tavern, Homer starts to think he doesn't appreciate Marge enough, and Moe points to him, with a song, how he's a selfish guy, before throwing him out. Back at home, Marge leaves the ring near the stairs, where Homer finds them, calling her selfish, before considering all the things she does for them, and puts the ring back on her finger, having one last beautiful moment in bed.
