Half-Decent Proposal

Homer's snoring reaches epic proportions and is driving Marge insane. The lack of sleep begins weighing down on her, so she takes Homer to Dr. Hibbert to get him looked at. The surgery option is too expensive, so Marge ends up sleeping at Patty and Selma's so she can get some much- needed rest. While there, she catches a news report about the success of her high school prom date, Artie Ziff. In a drunken blunder, Marge e-mails Artie a sexified letter. Upon receiving the e-mail, Artie immediately gets in his helicopter and flies to the Simpsons' house.

Artie takes the whole family to his yacht and makes Homer a proposal. He offers $1 million to spend a weekend with Marge. Homer and Marge throw the offer in Artie's face, but when Homer's snoring becomes uncontrollable, Marge is forced to give in, needing the money for the surgery. Homer is devastated by the decision, and spies on a party that Artie throws in Marge's honor. Homer sees them kiss, but misses the part when Marge throws Artie off her. Homer, crushed, leaves home and goes to work in an oil field in West Springfield. Just as death seems imminent for Homer, Marge flies in on Artie's helicopter and rescues him from a burning rig. They're reunited, but they refuse Artie's money. Instead, Marge buys Homer Artie's latest invention, which converts his snoring into sweet music (with subliminal messages).
