Lady Bouvier's Lover
Secrets of a Successful Marriage


He's an awful, awful, awful man! I guess if he makes Mom happy, that's all that really matters.
Marge about Mr. Burns

"Lady Bouvier's Lover" is the twenty-first episode of Season 5. It originally aired on May 12, 1994.

Synopsis

Grampa Simpson falls in love with Marge's mother, Jacqueline, but Mr. Burns woos her away from him. Grampa is broken hearted when learning Jackie is going to marry Burns.

Full Story 

Maggie has her first birthday, and coming to celebrate are Homer, Marge, Bart, Lisa, Grampa, Patty and Selma, and Grandma Bouvier. At the party, Grampa is feeling lonely, and when he is bored, Marge suggests she set up a date for him with her mother. They do well until when on a night on the town, Mrs. Bouvier goes dancing with Mr. Burns, whom she finds to be more dashing. Meanwhile, Bart hears about an Itchy & Scratchy animation cel which costs $350 when he is watching a TV shopping channel. He buys one with one of Homer's credit cards. He then endures a long and painful wait for its delivery on delivery day (both figuratively and literally, as Bart had to endure punches in the face from irate townspeople for things that Homer Simpson did while waiting for the delivery.) before acquiring it, which to his dismay was just Scratchy's severed arm. Mr. Burns declares that he is in love with Mrs. Bouvier, against Marge's interests. Bart gets $350 from Mr. Burns to pay Homer back. Which Homer, not listening to Bart explitily saying it was to pay him back, thinks Bart is just giving him free money and runs off to spend it foolishly.

Lady Bouvier's Lover

It is the day of the wedding, and Mr. Burns and Marge's mother attempt to marry. Only minutes before Mrs. Bouvier becomes Mrs. Montgomery Burns, in a scene similar to one from The Graduate, Grampa crashes the ceremony by arguing that Mrs. Bouvier should not get married to Mr. Burns. She declares that she does not want to marry either man, and they hop on a bus and look anxious about their future.
