 [[File:Marge confronts Stan.png|200px|thumb|left|Marge confronts Stan.]]
 Marge is at the [[Tissan Auto Dealership]] looking at a car when an employee named {{ap|Stan|salesman}} comes up to her and asks her if she and her husband are looking for a new car. Marge tells Stan that she's her to buy one for herself. Stan then changes the price of the car behind him from "$14,995" to "$18,995", before telling Marge that the car, the [[Tissan Sensibla]], is the car for her. In the car, Stan shows the car's various features - such as a make-up mirror which folds out to show five. Marge tells Stan that the car feels a little small, and asks him if the engine is powerful. Stan then tells Marge that "somebody knows her cars". Opening the bonnet, Stan shows Marge that the car comes with an RX12 2-cylinder. Marge says that that's odd, because on the consumer website it says that the RX12 2-cylinder has a dealer's invoice of 14-7. Stan chuckles and says that he will talk to the manager - which backfires because the website says that Stan IS the manager. Stan then says that those websites are taking food out of his children's mouths - which also backfires because Marge remarks that on his [[Facebook]] page it says he has no kids. Stan tells Marge that he has two Yorkies which he will be talking to about Marge that night. When the family go for a ride in the car, Homer says that he's got to hand it to Marge - she got the exact amount of car for the family - room for 2 adults, 3 kids and zero Grampas. Marge then hears a rattle, and asks the family if they do too. The rest of the family can't hear anything, before Marge asks what that smell is. Lisa tells her that it's new car smell. Marge says that she doesn't like it, so she turns into the Kwik-E-Mart. A few minutes later, Homer comes out with two hot dogs and makes sure that the smell fills the whole car to cover up the other smell. Homer chucks the hot dogs out of the window once he has taken a bite out of one; then he gets all of the [[Laramie Cigarettes|cigarettes]] out of the pack and smokes all of them. The rest of the family cough. Homer chucks the cigarettes out of the window, but Marge can still smell the smell. In the garage, later, the car won't start. Homer says that he will give it a try, and gets it working. Marge says that it didn't start for her, and tells Homer that she thinks the car's a lemon. Homer goes over to the other end of the car, where there is a lot of steam coming out of the exhaust. Homer faints.

 At the dealership the next day, Marge is telling the car mechanic that the wipes wipe backwards and the defroster lines on the back window are too close together. Marge excuses herself to get a cup of coffee. The mechanic tells Homer that the car is fine, and then tells Homer that he's not qualified to judge mental health, before telling Homer that he thinks there must be a psychological reason for why Marge hates the car. Homer moans: "A reason? What could it be?" The mechanic apologizes, because there's no diagnostic computer for the female mind. Homer is impressed: "Wow. An auto mechanic who tells the truth!", before hugging the mechanic. The mechanic says that if Homer wants him to examine Marge overnight, he could lend him a loaner - an '83 Yugo. Homer says 'no thanks'. When Homer and Marge arrive home, Homer asks Marge if there's another reason why she doesn't like the car - a feelings reason. Homer explains that her and the car might have got off on the wrong foot. Marge explains that when things went wrong was when everyone got in - and then says that the back seat is pretty tight for the kids. She then slips out that she doesn't know what will have to be done if they had another baby - because this car is saying 'no more babies'. Homer then tells her that he wants her to explore her "feelings". Marge reveals the reason why she hates the car - she wants another "on purpose" baby. Homer decides to play along to make his wife happy. In his mind, Homer wishes he had fixed the faucet. Marge says that being a mom is who she is, and she's not done being who she is. Homer decides to stall by whistling, so Marge will eventually change her mind. Homer agrees, and Marge tells him that they'll have to "try it tonight". After a brief dumb moment when Homer discovers that "try it" means sex, he "Woo-hoo"s. Marge asks Homer why he takes a 3-second pause before he answers, and Homer says (pausing every couple of seconds) that it is because he is lucky to be with her.

 Come sunset, Marge and Homer have finished shopping at the Museum of Christmas Ornaments. Marge can't believe that she spent the whole day shopping there, while Homer can't believe that he tried every flavor of candy cane - white and red. Marge says that they should check into a motel. They go to [[The Nook of the North]] motel, which is opposite the museum. In their room, Marge is chatting up Homer in bed, saying that he's lost weight. Homer asks Marge what she said - because he was in the bathroom and the one in bed next to Marge was in fact a stuffed toy in the shape of seal. Homer puts the toy on the floor, saying that he'll take it from there. Later on, Marge tells her husband that it was nice to spend a day together as a couple. Homer says he agrees because there was no kids to ruin it. Marge says that she thought the whole point of the trip was to have another baby. Homer says that he was just being a good husband - pretending to agree with her while secretly undermining her agenda. Marge is shocked and she asks Homer if he really doesn't want another baby, and how long he's felt that way. Homer says that (looking back) it started somewhere around the time before Bart was born. Marge becomes vexed, so she throws Homer out. He ends up staying at [[The Doghouse]]. He asks for a room for one, and starts to chew on a dog's chew toy that was in a bowl on the counter. All around the motor lodge, there are many romantic motels, such as [[The Love Nest]], [[Krusty's Hot Tub]] and [[M. Night Shyamalan's Flop House]]. In the morning, Homer and Marge are leaving Route 33. Marge is still angry with Homer. Homer apologizes, saying that they have a hard enough time handling three kids - emotionally, financially, the boy. Homer says that he didn't know how to tell Marge. She tells him that he could've just yelled across the house like he does everything else. Homer says it's good that they're talking, but Marge says that they're not. Homer picks up his phone, because Marge just dialed him. She explains that she pocket dialed him - with Homer telling her that the pocket wants what it wants. In a cafe, things are still strained between Homer and Marge. Homer remarks that they just leave the maple syrup on their table. Marge tells him to shut up. Marge and Homer spot a family with four kids a couple of booths away from them. One of the kids is called Xander, and [[Xander's father|his father]] asks the kids to help their younger baby brother. In his mind, Homer tells himself that there he is - the fat pathetic slob he would be with four kids. Xander's father feeds him some ice-cream, and then plays peek-a-boo with him. In his mind, Homer points out that that dad was there all along. Homer starts to change his mind - "Maybe there's no such thing as 'too many kids'." In her mind, Marge knows that Homer is thinking that he really wants another baby now, so she will change her mind and not want one. Marge tells herself that she won't, because she wants one more than ever. She bangs her mug on the desk, alerting Homer. Arriving at the Shelbyville Fertility Clinic, Homer thinks that he didn't rewind the video the last time he was there. In reception, Homer asks the receptionist if he can take back a donation from 15 years ago - under the name of "Simpson, Homer" or "Thad Supersperm". Marge tells Homer that this is the point where she really has to know what he wants. Homer tells him what he wants - to make another Simpson. A table with four legs is more sturdy than one with three, that cubes are made of cheese, but pyramids are schemes and anything that's half Marge is guaranteed 50% perfect. The two hug. The receptionist tells Homer that it was a nice speech, but the last of his sample was just selected by another couple. Homer asks the receptionist if she's sure that there's no more, because there's always a little 'ketchup left in the bottom'. The receptionist tells them no, but the couple who selected Homer's sample are in the waiting room, so Homer and Marge can talk them into 'something else'.

-In the waiting room, the couple are looking at Homer's "Thad Supersperm" profile. Homer coughs and the couple look up, becoming freaked out at Homer's expression. Homer says that he would like to buy back his sample. The woman asks if their sample came from him, and her husband immediately hands 'Thad'<nowiki>'</nowiki>s sample over. Homer says that he expected a little argument, and the man tells Homer to look in the mirror because it's his argument. While Homer signs a piece of paper, Marge looks at the "brag board", a board on the wall with pictures of all the babies that were born from sperm samples - mostly Homer's. Marge looks at the pictures of the babies that were born from Homer's sample and gasps, then asking him how many samples he sold. Homer asks Marge if she remembers the Corvette he had. Marge says that she thought they only paid $50 a trip. Homer says "Exactly", and tells Marge that they're all set - to make a Thad Supersperm Jnr., saying that with a name like that he could be president. Marge tells Homer that maybe they should wait - there's enough Homer in the world for now. Homer says that he was really looking forward to - and then he cuts off as a doctor puts up a picture of septuplets born from Homer's sperm sample. Homer says that Marge is right - he doesn't wanna bring more kids into a world full of his kids. At the [[Skytop Drive-In]] theater, ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Movie]]'' is playing in 3D. Homer and Marge arrive at the theater and pay the [[Squeaky-voiced teen|attendant]]. The attendant gives them two 3D glasses. Homer parks the car and then goes to the trunk. Inside, the kids are there wearing 3D glasses. They get out and get into their seats. Homer mentions that that would be a lot harder with four kids. Marge says that she always sends the theater manager a check the next day. Homer "D'oh!"s and the two put on their 3D glasses. The movie starts. [[Itchy]] comes along and shows [[Scratchy]] a picture of a female cat. Scratchy's eyes pop out and Scratchy ties them together and runs off with them. Itchy lets go and Scratchy falls backwards - the 3D effect making it look like Scratchy is right in front of them. Then, the couple with the Homer septuplets drive up next to them. Homer, and the septuplets, all "D'oh!"
