 Sara and Ned's relationship continues and they become the talk of the town. Marge then decides to invite Sara to her book club, where they were supposed to read ''[[Bridget Jones's Diary]]''. She invited author {{Ch|Helen Fielding}} along to talk about the book, only to learn nobody had read it. That night, Sara, Ned and the boys get ready to attend a concert at the [[Springfield Bowl]]. Sara comes downstairs in a revealing dress, which Ned doesn't like. She refuses to change and they attend the concert anyway. At the concert, Sara's dress turns many heads, including [[Homer]]'s. After the concert, Sara and Ned make love on a hill nearby. The following morning, they are woken up by the Lupus Fun Run. Ned then asks Sara if she would marry him but Sara refused, saying she didn't want to be tied down. They then split up.
-Ned was then watching ''[[Publicity Tonight]]'' where they ran a story about Sara Sloane getting married and divorced from [[Bob Balaban]] after only three hours. Ned said that he thinks that he and Sara would have lasted twice as long as that. Ned was then gardening outside the front of the house when [[Cookie Kwan]] pulled up and flirted with Ned. Helen Fielding then ran along, while still being chased.
