 At [[Moe's]], Homer sits at the bar, watches some boxing on TV and drinks a beer when [[Eddie]] and [[Lou]], the two local corruptible cops, stop in for a beer. They mention they're searching for a family of prowlers, and their scent dog goes crazy when he picks up Homer's scent. Lucky for Homer, the cops are oblivious to the dog and leave without incident. Homer explains what's on his mind to Moe and [[Barney]], and,when Barney tells Homer he got dealt a bad hand and no one can control his kids, Homer becomes defensive with Barney and punches him in the face. An unfazed Barney pounds Homer on top of the head, and Homer goes down hard, mimicking the fight on TV. As Homer lies on the ground, he looks up at the TV and sees a commercial for Dr. [[Marvin Monroe]]'s Family Therapy Center. Dr. Monroe claims he can fix any family's problems or double their money back. Homer suddenly realizes the answer to his problems and dials the toll free phone number from the commercial.
-Marge and the kids watch an {{ap|Untitled Itchy & Scratchy cartoon|There's No Disgrace Like Home|untitled}} ''[[The Itchy & Scratchy Show]]'' episode, when Homer walks in the living room and announces he made an appointment at Dr. Monroe's Family Therapy Center. The family balks at the idea, but Homer is insistent although it will cost $250. Homer decides to use the money from the kids college fund to pay for the appointment. But when it's revealed the fund has only $85.50 in it, Homer goes to extreme measures and pawns the TV for the remainder of the needed money. The family pleads with him not to, but Homer is on a mission to make his family better. In the waiting room at the Family Therapy Center, Homer approaches the cashier with $250 in cash and, as he holds the money in his hand, he begins to wonder if the therapy will be worth it. But when Homer sees a happy family heavily resembling their family exit from a treatment session, Homer becomes determined again to make his family better. Homer plunks the money down, and Dr. Monroe comes out into the waiting room to greet the Simpsons.

Homer plunks the money down, and Dr. Monroe comes out into the waiting room to greet the Simpsons.
 The therapy treatment begins as Dr. Monroe brings them into another room, sits them down, and asks them each to draw a picture representing the source of their unhappiness. Marge and the kids all draw a picture of Homer, while Homer gets lost in the task and begins drawing a picture of an airplane. Monroe explains to Homer that he is a stern authority figure. When Bart chimes and agrees with Dr. Monroe, Homer becomes filled with rage, picks up a lamp and threatens to smash Bart with it. Monroe calms Homer down and asks the family to try a different exercise. The next exercise involves the family beating each other with giant foam mallets. The exercise doesn't seem to work though, because the family grows tired of swinging the mallets; the exercise ends when Bart removes the foam from his mallet and whacks Dr. Monroe in the knee with it. Monroe can see the Simpson family is not responding to conventional treatment, so his next exercise for the family's a bit different.
