 The Simpsons are having dinner with [[Selma]] and her new boyfriend, but it turns out it is Bart's enemy [[Sideshow Bob]]. During dinner, he tells the story of his terrible time at the prison. He wins an Emmy that gets taken away. He tells he wanted to kill [[Bart]], but also he changed. Then he tells the story of how he and Selma met, which was during a prison pen-pal program. He supposedly turns a new leaf after he met Selma. He was released from the prison, and the story ends. Everyone enjoyed it except Bart. Then Sideshow Bob asks Selma to marry him, and she eagerly accepts.
-Sideshow Bob makes an appearance in the Krusty telethon, and he tells [[Krusty]] there are no hard feelings. Bart is terrified of his soon-to-be new uncle, since Bob swore he'd get revenge on Bart for having him sent to prison for framing Krusty for robbery, and he would never trust him. The wedding is almost cancelled when Sideshow Bob admits he hates Selma's favorite show, [[MacGyver]], but is saved by [[Homer]] when he says when [[Marge]] watches her shows he goes for a walk or drinks some beers and comes back still in love. Bob decides he will go for a walk when MacGyver is on TV, and all is resolved.

Selma and Bob send Patty and the Simpsons a honeymoon video during which Bob goes crazy toward one of the staff demanding a room with a fireplace. During the honeymoon, while MacGyver is on, Bart realizes Bob is about to try and murder Selma.
