Plot
After winning a bartending contest, Moe is shunned by the Duff brewing company when his calander lay-out has a sticker over his face. After peeling away all the stickers to reveal his face, Moe is shocked to see how ugly he is (especially when Carl compares Moes ugliness to Lenny's stupidity, Barney's drunkeness and Homer's laziness, baldness and weight.). Moe gets a face lift, becoming very handsome, and sets out to do all the things he never could, including getting almost getting a date from a girl he liked in high school, and being surrounded by beautiful women (Including Selma.) while at work. He then tries out for a Soap Opera that had turned him down years ago for being too ugly, but now with his leading man looks he is offered the role of leading man Dr. Tad Winslow on the soap opera It Never Ends.
After misinterpreting a plot line, Moe thinks his character is being killed, so Homer makes a guest apperance as an angel from the future, and gives away a year of story lines of the soap. Moe is fired and ends up having a piece of the set fall on his face, instantly undoing the effects of the facelift, returning to him the ugly, old face we have all grown to cringe at. At the end Moe is back in the bar with Homer, wondering why his face went back to his old one. Sometimes, things are best unknown.
Trivia
- Lenny says that no women have been in their bar but in Homer vs. the Eighteenth Amendment there were women in it.
- This is one of the only two times a word has been censored on The Simpsons. It is censored while Homer reveals the Soap Opera's plotline.
