Plot
Homer gets into a brawl at a St. Patrick's day parade and, after getting warned about not paying his bail, becomes a bounty hunter. After Snake is about to shoot him, Ned Flanders blocks the bullet with a pane of bullet-proof glass. Homer asks Ned to join him in bounty hunting, and he agrees, saying he needs the extra money. Ned and Homer discover they enjoy each other's company. After tracking down Fat Tony, Homer and Ned get into an argument, and Ned decides to quit. Meanwhile, Marge starts working at an erotic bakery, unbeknownst to her. When Marge discovers her culinary skills are being used to create lewd cakes, she is initially upset. After hearing the bakery owner's plea that erotic baking in a legitimate business is safer than lurking in dark alleys, she concedes and continues baking. After Ned and Homer's falling out, Ned discovers that Homer skipped bail and is asked to retrieve him. Ned and Homer engage in a dramatic chase through the streets of Springfield. They end up on a construction site, where Homer realizes he likes Ned's company and saves him from falling off an I-beam. The two, however, end up buried in cement. Homer is sent to serve a short jail term and Marge sends him a cake that she says will remind Homer of her. The cake reads, "To the love of my life."
