-[[Homer Simpson|Homer]] is relaxing in the yard in his hammock whilst reading his magazine. He hears a noise coming from the street he follows the noise to see a gay pride parade. After Homer notices that [[Santa's Little Helper]] is becoming sexually aroused by the "Gay Dogs" segment of the parade, the family then go to the [[Springfield Googolplex Theatres]] to get away from the parade. The movie is preceded by a seemingly endless run of previews and advertisements, which angers everyone in the theater, and Homer stands up to lead the angry mob. However, the ushers beat Homer with giant {{W|Kit Kat}}s and chase him out. Homer runs into the fist of a newly built golden statue of [[Drederick Tatum]] during the chase, breaking his jaw.

-At the hospital, [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] explains that he has wired Homers jaws shut in order for it to repair itself. Homer's inability to eat upsets him because he is forced to eat liquidized food. Homer sits at [[Moe's Tavern]] as [[Duff Man]] enters with a question for everyone in order for them to win a life time supply of Duff. Homer knows the answer, but since he unable to speak, he runs out of time and misses a once in a lifetime opportunity. Homer is laid in bed with [[Marge]] and writes on his chalkboard (as he cannot talk) "how was your day". Marge is surprised Homer asked this as he never listens to anyone. Homer continues to surprise the family as he starts to listen to their problems, feed [[Maggie]], and help [[Bart]] with school projects; all of which he never did when he was able to talk. Marge notices Homer's changed behavior and invites him to come with her to the "Annual Springfield Formal Event".

-At the event, Homer surprises everyone with his politeness and respect, unlike the previous year when he got drunk and rode around on a donkey, ruining the ball. A lady notices Homer's respect and says he and Marge are a nice couple and wants them to dine with her at Toad Hall. Marge explains to Homer while dancing that the evening has been one of the most magical nights of her life. They see [[Julius Hibbert|Dr. Hibbert]] on the dance floor where he explains that he can remove his Jaw Brace the next day. Homer then gets his brace removed the next day at the hospital. Later, at Moe's Tavern, Homer explains that he liked having his brace on because he listened to people at lot more. [[Lindsey Naegle]] approaches Homer in the Tavern and tells him he is an enlightened man and wants him to appear on her show, ''[[Afternoon Yak]]''.

 The next day, Homer and Marge appear on the show. Marge explains what kind of man he was before him breaking his jaw and how much he has changed after he broke it. They show a clip of Homer getting beaten up by an ostrich. Homer promises Marge that he will not revert back to his former self. At first, Marge enjoys this, but later she realizes that life without Homer's crazy antics has become boring. She then seeks for some excitement, so she signs up for the local "Demolition Derby". Homer wakes up and realizes Marge's absent and searches to find her. At first, Marge has a great time in the demolition pit, but starts to worry after someone starts battering her car. Lisa, Bart and Homer spot her in the pit. Bart gives Homer some Duff to power him up to save Marge. Homer the reverts back to his old adventurous ways and enters the pit on a donkey, rescuing Marge from being crushed inside the car. Marge then explains she doesn't want to be the livewire of the family anymore. Homer agrees and promises to stick with his old personality, and the family walks out of the Demolition Derby unharmed.
