After killing [[Clancy Wiggum|Chief Wiggum]] with a crossbow, the two realize they are more attracted to one another when they kill someone together. Thus, they soon begin having sex over Chief Wiggum's body. Returning to the episode's beginning, they both realise that they did not need any marriage counseling, but to kill people together. In the end, it turns out that they were not talking to a marriage counselor, but to [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Skinner]] regarding [[Bart Simpson|Bart's]] misbehavior. Both Homer and Marge turn a blind eye to Bart's misbehavior and simultaneously shoot Skinner instead. | |
