The Simpsons Season 21 Episode 5: The Devil Wears Nada
The supervisor of the nuclear plant is retiring and Mr. Burns thinks one of the morons (Homer, Carl and Lenny) should be the new supervisor. Deciding Carl is the least moronic of the bunch, he promotes Carl to the position. Carl starts ordering Homer around and Homer doesn’t like the change in Carl.
Marge tells the women of the Springfield Charity Chicks that their last bake sale fundraiser for childhood obesity raised $112. The ladies try to decide what kind of fundraiser to do this year. One of the ladies suggests a similar calendar like the hot selling beefcakes calendar in town. The ladies decide on making a history calendar to raise funds.
Carl is so busy now he blackmails Homer into becoming his executive assistant. Homer is working all hours of the day and night taking care of Carl’s every beckon call. The ladies arrive at the photographer’s studio and begin their photos for the fundraising calendar. The photographer plies the ladies with red wine and soon Marge’s sedate golfer from the twenties outfit is reduced to her underwear and worse.
Homer is working 100 hours a week and exhausted. Marge wants to get cosy in bed but Homer keeps falling asleep. After a few nights of this Homer promises Marge they will go away to a romantic hotel for a night of passion. Marge takes the kids to the mall and discovers the Springfield Charity Chicks calendar is selling like hotcakes and all the month’s of the year pictures are of her in skimpy outfits. Marge sees the risque photos, is horrified and can’t remember taking them.
Homer and Marge are at the hotel and enjoying their time alone when Carl calls, insisting Homer accompany him to France for a company meeting. Homer promises Marge he will make it up to her. Marge is mad that Homer leaves for France and throws a croquet mallet over the hedge, hitting Ed Flanders in the head. To apologize, Marge asks Ed and his kids over for dinner. Marge discovers Lisa and Bart have other plans; Ed arrives without his kids who he has grounded for watching a non-Christian commercial on TV. Marge and Ed finish dinner and as Ed washes the dishes he accidently soaks his shirt and Marge’s dress with water. As the wet t-shirt effect happens Marge and Ed are drawing closer to kiss each other then stop.
Homer is excited to see the sites of France. Carl and Homer attend a fancy party. A french woman hooks up with Carl and Carl tells Homer to do a seductive dance to entice the woman for him. As Homer wanders the streets of France he misses Marge and sees her face everywhere. Homer tells Carl he is flying back home and threatens to blackmail him if he fires him. Homer knows Carl is dating the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni. Carl relents and Homer flies home.
As Marge and Ed have dessert, the whipped cream and strawberries are enticing them both and they almost kiss but Marge tells him no. Just then Homer arrives home and doesn’t suspect a thing. Ed leaves as Homer picks up Marge and carries her upstairs for some unfinished business in the bedroom.
