Plot
Homer arrives at the Power Plant parking lot, but can't find a parking spot, all occupied by cars place in weird positions, a hole, or even the episode credits, and he decides to park on Mr. Burns' spot. Since he's on a hunting trip with friends, he realizes that he can live his life for a bit, and goes around the plant wearing his clothes, and playing golf at Burns' office. However, while he's playing, Mr. Burns returns from his trip with Smithers.
Homer gets scared and hits the ball, that bounces all around the room hitting the trapdoor button, and he falls. However, it's under renovation, and is not safe, and he hits many objects and constructions stuff and lands on a cement mixer full of concrete. The accident causes him to have to wear a cast. At first it seems to work out fine but he gets bored since he can't do anything as he can't move his arms, including not reading what Bart writes on the cast.
At the school bus, Dolph creates chaos when trying to hit Milhouse he hits Nelson, and a fight starts. Otto can't do anything and Lisa decides to record the fight on her smartphone and shows it to Skinner, who recongizes Lisa's bus problem solving and promotes her to being the bus monitor.
At Mr. Burns' office, the Blue-Haired Lawyer informs him that the trapdoor is illegal and doesn't meet modern standars, and Homer is able to sue him and the plant. Fearing it, Burns sends Smithers to convince him not to do so. The visit however has the opposite effect of reminding him he can.
Smithers becomes friends with Marge, even bringing them a cake to sign, and they end up talking about their love (Homer and Mr. Burns). The talk begins to get awkward to the point that Marge starts thinking about kissing Smithers, but Burns calls him.

When the bus arrives at the school its a wreck and on fire. Lisa is left confused while the kids leaves laughing and Milhouse explains that the bus rides are supposed to be crazy, which relieves her.
Homer soon realizes Marge is hanging out with Smithers a lot, and that to stop it he needs to give up on the lawsuit, making his lawyer sad. To make him feel better, he tries to roll down the courthouse stairs, but Marge tries to save him and both fall and get run over by a truck and they get back home both in casts, bringing them close together.
