Synopsis

"Moe's Tavern is closed by a health inspector, so Homer takes out a mortgage on his house to open the bar again. As a result, Marge becomes Moe's business partner and turns the bar into a British bar that makes them spend too much time together, which worries Homer."


Plot

After finally paying off the house's mortgage, the Simpsons go to a fancy restaurant for brunch. After Bart and Lisa have a fight, causing embarrassment to Homer and Marge, Homer goes to Moe's Tavern to complain about his kids. Before he has a drink, a health inspector, Frankie, comes in and says he should close the bar down. He then reveals that he's close friends with Moe so he wouldn't close the bar down. After eating a pickled egg though, he drops dead. Chief Wiggum then comes in, sees everyone surrounding the dead body, and runs away.

A week later, a new health inspector comes in and deems the bar a health violation, partially due to Frankie's corpse still being on the floor. Moe's Tavern is then closed down and many of the patrons come along to its "funeral", with Barney singing "Danny Boy" during the ceremony. Homer then tells Moe that he'll help him reopen his bar and goes to the First Bank of Springfield to get a loan out. In order to do so though, he had to put his house up as collateral, giving it another mortgage.

When Marge finds out Homer put money towards Moe's, she decides to become a partner in the tavern in order to get her money back. When Homer gets to the tavern after work, Marge tells him to go home and look after the kids rather than drink, which annoys Homer. Marge then convinces Moe to remodel his tavern through song.

That night, Marge comes home at 4am only to have Moe ring her up with more ideas for the pub, upsetting Homer in the process. Homer and Marge then go to see a movie in the theater.
