The Simpsons get Netflix, and [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] watches [[Marge Simpson|Marge]]'s favorite show without her.

[[Marge Simpson|Marge]] gets upset when [[Homer Simpson|Homer]] watches a TV show without her.
==Plot==
 
[[Homer Simpson|Homer]] is awoken in the middle of the night by [[Bart Simpson|Bart]], calling him from [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse's]] house, during their sleepover. Bart begs Homer to take him home, because Milhouse is torturing him, by forcing him to read retarded Yertle the Turtle books. Homer tells Bart that he got himself into that mess and that he's not putting his neck out for him and hangs up. Right after that, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] gets a call from a random family member, telling her that her prized aunt, [[Eunice Bouvier]] is in danger of dying. Marge says that she's going to have to take the next flight to where Eunice lives, as soon as humanly possible. Homer doesn't want to go, so he lies that he has to take care of the kids at home, which is clearly untrue, as [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]] is shown feeding herself applesauce in the kitchen.

==Full Story==
When Marge is just about to leave, she tells Homer to promise her, that while she's gone, not to watch the new season of [[Odder Stuff]] without her, because the time they spend together, binge watching that show, is the only time they spend together as a married couple anymore. This is going to be a task for Homer, as Homer can barely resist the temptation to watch the new season of his favorite Netflix show.

Marge gets a call from her dying aunt [[Eunice Bouvier]] and rushes over to visit her. Before she leaves, she tells Homer not to watch their favorite show on Netflix, [[Odder Stuff]], an obvious parody of ''Stranger Things''. [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] watch it, tempting Homer to watch it with them as well. The kids go off to bed and Homer realizes Marge is home. When Marge enters, she feels the warm TV and turns it on, revealing Odder Stuff to be playing. Furious, she finally realises how little Homer means to her.

Homer has a nightmare where Ted Sarandos tells him Marge likes watching dance shows, so he signs up for this dance class. The instructor, Julia, has a tough time teaching him, so she calls in her partner Sweet Sal, a tougher instructor. To cover his dance lessons, Homer crashes on the couch every night and claims he was at [[Moe's Tavern|Moe]]'s every night. When Homer feels he is ready, he invites Marge to a night out. Still mad at him, Marge questions why he is there. Homer tells her to take his hand and the couple starts dancing, impressing her and reconciling his marriage in the process.
Marge goes to see her dying old Aunt Eunice at the hospital. [[Patty Bouvier|Patty]] and [[Selma Bouvier|Selma]] are already claiming ownership over her property, by sticking stinky notes on it. Aunt Eunice starts walking again, and the two sisters hopefully await her death, only to realize that now Eunice is fully functioning again and she's realized they're trying to steal her stuff. Eunice breaks her lamp and uses it as a knife to attack them.

Meanwhile, Bart wants to race in a competition hosted by [[Krusty the Clown]], but needs to write an essay. Like his is, he asks Lisa to write it for him, which she does. At the race, he finds out his competitors are [[Ralph Wiggum]] and [[Milhouse Van Houten]]. Knowing his stupidity, Bart distracts Ralph from the race and runs against Milhouse to the end of the store. Both of them get so distracted with trying to stop each other from winning that they ram into a pile of goo, causing Ralph to win the race. At the dance, Lisa claims its one of the best moments in her parent's lives, which Bart misses out on due to him playing paddleball.
Meanwhile at home, Homer tries to read a bedtime story to Maggie, but Bart and [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] start watching Odder Stuff in the other room. This makes it harder for Homer to resist the temptation, and Bart and Lisa tease him over this. They know that although he can't watch the show, they still can. Homer starts to get drawn into the show, but then he hallucinates Marge's head on a demagorgon, making him flip out and change the channel to Bojack Horseman, which he claims is too depressing. After this, he turns off the TV, and for some reason, gets no reaction out of Bart and Lisa.
 
   
  +
Back home, Bart questions how Ralph got into the race in the first place with Lisa claiming she wrote his essay for him so [[Chief Wiggum]] would buy her a pony and to teach Bart a lesson. When Lisa claims "Just Deserts", Homer comes in and Lisa just tells him it's an expression, only for both to find out that it's a real place in [[Springfield]]. When Homer asks if they have other food, the employee tells him "Just Deserts", dissapointing Homer in the process.
Homer goes to [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant|work]] the next day, and it's almost unavoidable to watch or learn about anything related to Odder Stuff, as everyone is either watching it or talking about it. Even [[Lenny Leonard|Lenny]] wrote a fanfiction about it.
 
   
[[Krusty the Clown]] needs some ideas for promoting his show, so he holds a contest, where kids run around Krusty stores for five minutes and take all the toys they want.

Synopsis

Marge gets upset when Homer watches a TV show without her.

Full Story

Marge gets a call from her dying aunt Eunice Bouvier and rushes over to visit her. Before she leaves, she tells Homer not to watch their favorite show on Netflix, Odder Stuff, an obvious parody of Stranger Things. Bart and Lisa watch it, tempting Homer to watch it with them as well. The kids go off to bed and Homer realizes Marge is home. When Marge enters, she feels the warm TV and turns it on, revealing Odder Stuff to be playing. Furious, she finally realises how little Homer means to her.

Homer has a nightmare where Ted Sarandos tells him Marge likes watching dance shows, so he signs up for this dance class. The instructor, Julia, has a tough time teaching him, so she calls in her partner Sweet Sal, a tougher instructor. To cover his dance lessons, Homer crashes on the couch every night and claims he was at Moe's every night. When Homer feels he is ready, he invites Marge to a night out. Still mad at him, Marge questions why he is there. Homer tells her to take his hand and the couple starts dancing, impressing her and reconciling his marriage in the process.

Meanwhile, Bart wants to race in a competition hosted by Krusty the Clown, but needs to write an essay. Like his is, he asks Lisa to write it for him, which she does. At the race, he finds out his competitors are Ralph Wiggum and Milhouse Van Houten. Knowing his stupidity, Bart distracts Ralph from the race and runs against Milhouse to the end of the store. Both of them get so distracted with trying to stop each other from winning that they ram into a pile of goo, causing Ralph to win the race.
