Episode Information
|
"Homer Alone" is the fifteenth episode of The Simpsons' third season.
Synopsis
Marge Simpson has been under a lot of stress at home and the family takes her for granted, causing her to lash out by clogging up traffic at the Springfield Memorial Bridge, and causing all of Springfield to see when it is placed on the news (although there is plenty of bumbling as Kent Brockman is bonked around and Arnie Pie drops his bagel). She is placed under arrest by Chief Wiggum, but Mayor Quimby, in a political gambit, pardons her. Later on, Marge sees a TV commercial for a place called "Rancho Relaxo", and decides she needs a vacation. Marge puts Bart and Lisa into the care of Patty and Selma, but Maggie cries and clings to Homer when she is about to be deposited at her aunts, making Lisa comments she should have thought of that. Maggie then stays home with Homer Simpson who invites Barney Gumble over to help him, but realizes how much he needs Marge to take care of things, especially when the following morning Homer finds that Maggie has gone missing. Maggie left the Simpson house by herself as she was distressed at the absence of Marge. He goes to see how the kids are getting on at Marge's sisters, and they're desperate to get away, after they are put into slavery by the sisters. After a long search from Homer and Barney, Homer calls a the police to help him. Marge has done everything she wanted to do in her vacation and calls Homer. She tells him she is coming back and he should pick her up in one hour at the train station. Maggie is found on the edge of the top of an ice-cream shop by the police. Chief Wiggum thinks she is trying to commit suicide, but she is actually sleeping next to the statue of an ice-cream cone that looks like Marge's head. She is returned to Homer just in time for Marge's arrival, and everything is back to normal.
