Synopsis
- "The Simpson family get a nanny after Marge starts losing her hair to stress."
Plot
Whilst eating dinner, the Simpson family watch the Krusty Komedy Klassic. Marge gets demands from many of the family members, eventually being told by Lisa that there's a hair in her soup. This hair turns out to be Marge's, which upsets her. Marge then starts to lose a lot of her hair, getting holes in it. This greatly upsets Marge who then goes to the Springfield General Hospital to get checked out by Dr. Hibbert. Dr. Hibbert can't find anything physically wrong with her but suggests that the hair loss may be from stress. To relieve the stress, Marge decides that the family should hire a nanny to help out around the house.
After Homer chases off several nannies, thinking they were men in drag after watching Mrs. Doubtfire, Bart and Lisa sing a song ("Minimum Wage Nanny") to Homer and Marge. After this, Shary Bobbins floats down from the sky to apply as a nanny for the family. After passing the interview, Shary gets straight to work with the kids, getting them to clean up Bart's bedroom with a song and dance ("Cut Every Corner"). This helps Shary to bond with the kids. Shary then takes the kids to the park where she sees several people she knows, and then they meet Groundskeeper Willie. Willie reveals that he and Shary were previously engaged until Shary got her eyesight back and left him. Shary and the kids then fly a kite, with Shary allowing Mr. Burns to fly one too. This resulted in Burns getting struck by lightning and having his heart restart.
Meanwhile, Homer and Marge were pleased with Shary as the house was spotless and the kids were occupied. However, Shary was starting to get annoyed at the family after the kids demanded that Shary sing them another song ("A Boozehound Named Barney"). After she sung the song, the kids fell asleep. The next day, Shary decided that she had done enough as the family was better and the kids were behaved. Shary then left, only for the house to immediately descent into chaos again. Shary walked back in and decided that she had to stay to try and fix everything.
At this point, the family were back to their usual selfish selves. They demanded Shary do stuff for them and went back to being lazy. When Shary tried to sing to them again, she was shut down. Bart's room went back to being a mess and Lisa refused to go outside. After watching an episode of The Itchy & Scratchy Show, "Reservoir Cats" (guest directed by Quentin Tarantino), the family realized what a state Shary Bobbins was in and realized it was all their fault. They then sang to Shary ("Happy Just the Way We Are") to tell her that they are happy with the way things are and they didn't ant to change. Shary then leaves the house, grabs her umbrella and flies off into the engine of an airplane as the Simpsons wonder if they'll ever see her again.
