"Milhouse of Sand and Fog" is the third episode of broadcast season 17 of The Simpsons and the three hundred fifty-ninth episode overall. It originally aired on September 25, 2005. The episode was written by Patric M. Verrone and directed by Steven Dean Moore.

Synopsis[edit]

"When Kirk and Luann get back together again, Milhouse starts to feel neglected by his parents. So, Bart and Milhouse leave one of Marge's bras on Kirk and Luann's bed in an attempt to break them up again, which leads to Homer questioning Marge's loyalty to him."


Plot[edit]

The pox party.

Inspired by Flanders' suggestion of purposely exposing the boys to the chicken pox, Homer invites all the neighborhood kids over to the Simpson house for a "pox party" (at fifteen bucks a head). However, he ends up catching it himself, having no childhood immunity. One good thing comes of it, though: Milhouse's folks reconcile.

Or so it seems. However, Milhouse feels neglected because his parents aren't fawning over him as they once did, competing for his love. Milhouse schemes to break up his parents again, and enlists both Bart and a plot borrowed from The O.C. Bart grabs one of Marge's bras and the boys leave it conspicuously located in Kirk's bed. Luann thinks Marge is having an affair with her husband, and soon she has Homer questioning his wife's fidelity. An argument ensues, and Bart realizes he may have split up his own parents instead of Milhouse's.

Bart schemes to reunite them by pretending to fall off a cliff into a river, using a dummy—but, due to Milhouse's poor eyesight, Bart ends up really taking the plunge. Homer leaps into the rapids and rescues Bart, and through a little trust, Marge saves them both from going over the falls. The Simpsons reconcile, once safely on the bank. Milhouse, not wishing to live in a world without his best friend, leaps over the cliff. Marge worriedly asks if he can swim. "What do you think?", asks Bart.
