Plot
"Kill me."
--Bart having to watch Mrs. Krabappel's bubble dance
The school is having a talent show for the teachers. The main acts shown are Groundskeeper Willie with a comedy routine, then Mrs. Krabappel doing a bubble dance. After these two acts, the audience leaves. Homer gets a Canyonero sport utility vehicle (or "SUV"), but learns the model he bought is the F-series, intended for women. He gives the vehicle to Marge, but when she uses it, she develops road rage. On a busy day racing around town, Marge is arrested and ordered to go to take a defensive driving course. However, she accidentally drives the SUV into the prison and loses her driving privileges.
Later, the police need to recruit her to use the SUV to stop a bunch of raging rhinos. They had escaped the Zoo when Homer, visiting the Zoo with Bart and Lisa, accidentally caused them to go berserk. Marge agrees to help when she sees her family in danger on the news report and succeeds in rounding up all the rhinos. When she learns that there is one missing, she sees Homer being carried off by the rhino (his belt is caught on the rhino's horn). She chases the beast to a construction site and deliberately crashes the SUV. It bursts into flames and the rhino instinctively tries to stamp out the blaze, giving the zookeepers chance to capture it. She credits her success to Stone Phillips and the whole family praises NBC. During the end credits, Homer praises FOX at gunpoint and he is shot when he praises CBS.
