Synopsis[edit]
- After a failed prank call to Moe, Bart, Nelson, and Milhouse get Moe a mail-order bride on the dark web. However, when Moe actually falls for Anastasia, he must try to win her back from her new boyfriend, Krusty.
Plot[edit]
Homer goes to Moe in the Paleolithic era, showing the birth of beer and English. Back in the present, Marge and Homer are making a list of people to invite for Thanksgiving Day, though they decide not to invite Moe due to him bringing a woman doll last year as his +1.
At Moe's Tavern, Homer breaks the news to Moe. Just after, Moe receives a prank call from Bart, Nelson, and Milhouse, though this time he reverses it. To get back at him, the boys go to Herman's Military Antiques, where Herman brings them to the basement and shows them the dark net, where they order Moe a wife, Anastasia Alekova.
Anastasia brings changes to the tavern, making it nicer, and people start coming in—though Moe's rudeness scares them away. She promises them a happy time, and the bar makes lots of money. After closing time, Moe refuses her hand, saying that his past loves left him heartbroken. He tells her the stories, ending with her leaving the bar—not before Moe tells her to bring out the bottles.
At home, Homer finds out Bart's secret, and Bart confesses about the prank on Moe, so he gets punished. Homer convinces Moe to win Anastasia back, so Moe goes to the Russian Tea House, where she now works—only to find out she has a new boyfriend: Krusty.
The guys at the tavern convince Moe to try and win her back from Krusty, breaking the clown's heart this time. Behind the tavern, the wedding between Moe and Anastasia is about to happen before Bart reads the contract, revealing that all of Moe's property would have gone to her. It also reveals she's not Russian, but from Columbus.
When she fakes a Scottish accent to attract another man, Willie appears and falls in love with her. Nelson then flies to Mars, where his father is working on a secret project. Upon seeing his son, Eddie tells him he's going for some space cigarettes, then takes off in a rocket.
Production[edit]
Reception[edit]
Hank Azaria was nominated for a Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance in the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards for voicing Moe Szyslak, Carl Carlson, Duffman, and Kirk Van Houten in this episode, but he lost to Seth MacFarlane for Family Guy.[1]
