 At home, the [[Simpson family]] are freezing as [[Homer]] forgot to pay the heating bill. After the family starts throwing random junk onto the fireplace to keep it warm, [[Lisa]] finds Marge's university diploma. The kids didn't know that Marge went to [[Springfield University]] so Marge begins to tell the story of that time in their lives. Back in the '90s, Homer and Marge moved into their first apartment together, at [[Springfield Place]]. At the time, Homer was part of a light hip-hop smooth groove group with [[Lenny]], [[Carl]] and [[Lou]]. Homer and Marge may have been broke, but they were happy.

-However, what Marge hadn't told Homer was that she had applied to Springfield University. One day, she got the letter of acceptance for university, and found it would cost her $3 million a year. Homer took up a job at [[Simpson Laser Tag]], working for his father, in order to help get Marge through university. At university, Marge went to take her first class, with Professor [[Steffan August]] teaching it. Professor August took an immediate liking to Marge and her attitude towards the class, and Marge also took a liking to him, arranging to speak to him outside of class.

 Back in the present, the gas man arrives at the Simpson house to fix the boiler. He offers to tell a story to the family, but they tell him they're already in the middle of a story. They then carry on telling it. In Professor August's class, Marge seems to become more interested in him, kissing up to him. Meanwhile, outside of class, she was becoming more and more annoyed with her relationship with Homer. She also started to imagine Homer as Professor August, much to her shock. At university the next day, Marge shows her Protest Studies art piece of August. She then drops a note from Homer, saying "I miss you". Professor August twists the meaning of the note, claiming that Homer thinks he owns Marge, and tells Marge to rethink her relationship before it's too late.
