 [[File:AmbulanceHomerDrunk.png|thumb|right|Homer comes home drunk.]]
-Marge continues to write her story, writing about [[Temperance Barrow]] and her husband, [[Captain Mordecai]]. After Homer comes home from his shift as an ambulance driver, he demands food and CPR lessons for the kids. Marge, who gets annoyed at this, changes Mordecai's character to be more like Homer. The next day, Marge decides she needs some romance in her novel when [[Ned Flanders]] comes over. Inspired by him, Marge creates the character of [[Cyrus Manley]] who quickly hits it off with Temperance on his arrival at [[Nantucket]]. After finishing her novel, Marge prints it and hands it to Lisa to look through. Lisa realizes that Mordecai is based on Homer and questions Marge about this, but Marge tells her that she'll hand it to Homer to read first to see if he's okay with the character.

The next day, Marge decides she needs some romance in her novel when [[Ned Flanders]] comes over.

Lisa realizes that Mordecai is based on Homer and questions Marge about this, but Marge tells her that she'll hand it to Homer to read first to see if he's okay with the character.
 Homer attempts to read the novel but quickly gets bored and distracted from it. When Marge asks him if he read it, Homer tells her that he has and that he liked it and all the characters. Encouraged by this, Marge sends the novel to Esme Delacroix who has her assistant summarize it to her and she loves it. She then gets {{Ch|Thomas Pynchon}} and {{Ch|Tom Clancy}} to give quotes for the book and gets it published. The whole of Springfield reads the book and everyone realizes that Captain Mordecai is based off Homer and laughs about it behind Homer's back. Homer starts to get teased about the book by people around town and eventually decides that he needs to read the book himself, getting the audio book ready by {{Ch|Mary-Kate Olsen|Mary-Kate}} and {{Ch|Ashley Olsen}}.
