He compensated for this with seven surprises for Manjula before Valentine's Day, though he nearly suffocated due to being encased in chocolate for one surprise.[7] Apu once had an affair with Annette Taylor. After Homer Simpson discovered this, he and Marge revealed their discovery to Apu, who eventually caved into the guilt and vowed to apologize to Manjula. However, she already knew it from surveillance tapes at the Kwik-E-Mart and kicked Apu out of the house. With some help from the Simpson family, Manjula eventually agreed to give Apu another chance after he completed an often-vengeful list of bizarre grueling tasks fashioned by her, such as performing "My Fair Lady" with the octuplets.[8] Since then, their relationship has been strained, with the couple seen attending marriage counseling, though their relationship may have been improved by the Trappuccino ordeal as they were seen kissing and celebrating their liberation with the octuplets.
