-The [[Simpson family|Simpsons]] are having a vacation at {{ap|The Yellow Lotus|location}}, with [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] in the water, when suddenly Homer notices something tickling his butt, and finds out it's not Marge, but a dead body. The family is then shown arriving at the resort on the Drooping Dandelions, a boat for the poor, following The Yellow Lotus' boat where the riches were. Marge is having doubts on if this is the place they've been investing in a timeshare contract for 10 years, when Bart was still in her womb, thanks to [[Nick Callahan]]. Her doubts start to disappear once they land and properly see what it's offering.

The family arrives at the resort on the Drooping Dandelions, a boat for the poor, following The Yellow Lotus' boat where the wealthy travel. Marge doubts if this is the place they have been investing in a timeshare contract for 10 years, dating back to when Bart is still in her womb, thanks to [[Nick Callahan]]. Her doubts begin to disappear once they land and see what the resort has to offer.
-But the reality is, the timeshare company no longer owns the property, and [[Lindsey Naegle]] tells them she'll wait for them at the checkout. Inside the resort, they get comfortable in the room, before Lindsey comes in for the checkout, as their accumulated time amounts to 20 minutes, and [[Dr. Hibbert|Julius]] and [[Bernice Hibbert]] settle in. They're ready to leave the island, when [[Tasha]] arrives carrying a boat full of luggage, and [[Bart]] suggests they sneak in through the luggage into the designated room for them.

-Marge wonders if she must be the happiest woman in the world when she hears her crying and from the window they find out her husband is none other than [[Sideshow Bob]]. Hearing them calling out his name, Bob enters the room and tells them he has no intention to go for her money, having invented a rake with a collapsible handle, to avoid head bonks, just to end up on it and getting head bonked. For them to continue the vacation they get into an agreement to not expose each other out. When the staff notices the kids in the pool, Homer worries they were noticed, but instead they took them to the kids section of the resort, where they can have kid fun.

He explains that he invented a rake with a collapsible handle to avoid head bonks, only to end up getting bonked himself. To continue their vacation, they agree not to expose each other.
-Marge notices they're the only happy people, and when they go to the spa section, they hear the tarot reading by [[Mrs. Risotto]] that somebody is going to die. Seeing how Tasha is one of the possible ones, Homer and Marge confess on who Bob is to her, and Bob tells Lindsey who they're. They manage to escape but are found in the hedge maze, where Homer tells Marge to back in the bush, finding the man that was behind Nick there too. The next day, wearing sunglasses, they confront him and realize he's still on the same job, they try to shame him and everyone else for not enjoying the paradise they're in despite their money but gets kicked out anyway.

-At the port, for one last swim, they go to the snuggler's cove. The Hibberts solve their situation throwing the medications down the hot-air balloon and a hug, [[The Hounds]] finally get to eat, taking [[Sideshow Mel]]'s bone and spare bone, while Bob gives Tasha a nice necklace, but in the end thanks to her medications, it's her that pushes Bob down the cliff. Mel helps Bob back on his feet, and Mrs. Risotto appears remembering one last prediction that comes true. Nick gets killed by the otter that took Bernice's medications and was the body found by them at the cove. When [[Kent Brockman]] reports the news of Nick's death, it gets his necklace.
