Boy Meets Curl is the twelfth episode of Season 21 and aired on February 14, 2010. The episode was written by Rob LaZebnik and directed by Chuck Sheetz.

After discovering their love of curling Marge and Homer try out for the Olympic team and actually make it to the 2010 Vancouver Games. Meanwhile, in Vancouver, Lisa develops a huge addiction to collecting Olympic pins.

Plot

Date night and the employees of the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant are forced to stay behind and clean up a big mess. This leaves Marge annoyed at Homer for being late. Homer then takes Marge to a movie but can not enjoy it because of too much noise and so go ice-skating instead. Marge and Homer wind up at a curling rink when their plans for a date night fall through. They both discover their innate talent for the sport - particularly Marge, who has years of experience sweeping floors. Agnes and Seymour Skinner invite Marge and Homer to join their team. Agnes, however, cautions Marge not to let emotions get in the way of winning, relating how a fetal kick by an unborn Seymour foiled her chances at winning gold in pole vault at the 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki. Nevertheless, the Simpson-Skinner team qualifies to compete in the demonstration sport of mixed-doubles curling at the 2010 Winter Olympics.

Meanwhile, Lisa discovers she enjoys collecting Olympic mascot pins, but her interest in them quickly spirals out of control. She trades her pearl necklace to a vendor in exchange for a pin from the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix, France. When Bart discovers Lisa busking on a street corner, he decides to retrieve her necklace. He tricks the pin vendor with "Fatov", a phony mascot from the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi, Russia; the mascot is really Homer's jowls, clipped from his driver's license. Bart gives Lisa her pearls and offers to help her kick her pin-collecting addiction.

When they arrive in Vancouver they encounter the medicine woman from The Simpsons Movie. After the Ghostbusters opening ceremony (which was very tiring for the announcer) and a few games, Marge is told by Agnes that she wants Homer off the team. Marge insists she can compensate for his weak throws, but injures her right shoulder while sweeping rigorously to restart Homer's stone. She is told that she will never curl again and that the American curling team must concede defeat to Sweden. After Marge reveals a big secret that she is left-handed, she used her right hand so people wouldn't think of her differently, and by sweeping with her left arm, leads her team to victory and the gold medal, the first and only medal won by the USA in the Olympics. In the end, she and Homer agree that they had a great date night.
