 When Mrs. Bellamy turns up dead (stabbed with a pair of scissors) and her diamond necklace is stolen, Homer and Marge are considered top suspects—especially when it's discovered that they were named beneficiaries in her will. Homer and Marge suspect the "[[Man with the Braces|man with braces]]", whom they saw leaving the scene with the necklace. Everyone else suspects Marge and Homer. When the necklace is found in the Simpson home, Homer and Marge are arrested.
-The children are sent to a yokel foster home, and Marge and Homer are put on trial for Mrs. Bellamy's murder. With [[Gil]] as their lawyer, they don't have a chance, and they are quickly found guilty and sentenced to death in the electric chair. When Homer realizes that Marge is going to miss the children, he confesses to being solely responsible for the crime, which allows Marge to be released. Homer is strapped into the chair and about to be executed when it is revealed he is a participant on a new reality TV show called ''[[Frame Up]]''. The man with the braces is the host. As for Mrs. Bellamy, she's still alive, and isn't an old woman at all, but actually co-host {{ch|Carmen Electra}} in disguise.

 Homer is quickly freed and reunited with his family. [[Chief Wiggum]] is relieved that he won't have to carry out Homer's execution, but protests about the show's forcing him to use all of the time and resources of the [[Springfield Police Department]] on what turned out to not even be a real case, until he realizes he'll be on TV—at which point he tries to get [[Lou]] and [[Eddie]] producer credits. Homer, for his part, is thoroughly disgusted. He lectures Carmen Electra about the callousness of toying with people's lives for the sake of TV ratings, when she interrupts him: "Homer? My face is up here." He's been looking at her breasts the whole time he's been talking to her. Homer says, "I've made my choice", and continues staring her in the breasts.
