Marjorie "Marge" Skinner, née Marge Bouvier, was a con artist.
History[edit]
Marge Bouvier was a con artist who lived in Springfield. She was working on her latest mark, Luann Van Houten, when she overheard Agnes Skinner talking to Luann about her son, Seymour Skinner. Agnes said that she would give a suitcase full of simoleons to anyone who brought Seymour back home, which piqued Marge's interest. Later, Marge approached Agnes and acted like she knew her and was an old friend of Seymour's. Agnes took Marge back to her house and told her about Seymour, saying that he had run off to Italy to become an artist rather than take over the family prune factory. Agnes then asked Marge to go to Italy and bring Seymour back, offering to pay for the whole trip.
Marge arrived in Bella Truffa and found Seymour at the beach. She pretended to be an old college acquaintance of his from Ditherton. She struggled a bit to get the story straight, since Ditherton was an all-male college and the teacher she claimed to have in common with him was a private tutor, but he eventually believed her. Homer Simpsley then showed up, who was a friend of Seymour's. Homer immediately became suspicious of Marge and was upset when Seymour invited Marge back to his house. While there, Marge saw all the paintings of Homer that Seymour had painted.
Marge began spending time with both Seymour and Homer in an attempt to get close to Seymour to convince him to go home. When Homer wanted to get Marge kicked out, Marge decided to become Seymour's muse instead of Homer. She made herself look more appealing to Seymour, and he immediately wanted to paint her. Two months later, the three of them were still living together, but Marge wanted to get Homer to move out. While she and Seymour were spending time together, Homer took Seymour's laundry back to the villa. He then put on Seymour's clothes and pretended to make out with Seymour while wearing them. Seeing this, Seymour told Homer to leave his villa. Homer picked up a bust to hit Seymour with, but couldn't go through with it and dropped it. Seymour then slipped on a rag and injured himself in a slapstick manner until he fell down the stairs and seemingly died. Marge walked in on Homer over his body, and the two of them decided to have Homer pretend to be Seymour so they could have a lavish lifestyle together. Seymour started to come to, but Homer and Marge suffocated him to death before dumping his body in a trunk in the ocean.
After this, Homer assumed the identity of Seymour Skinner. He and Marge got married, then went to the Banca di Roma in Rome to withdraw Seymour's money. They spent more time together and eventually developed feelings for each other. Meanwhile, Seymour's body came out of the trunk it was in and his bloated corpse floated to the surface and was soon found. However, due to the state of the corpse, it was believed to be that of Homer instead. Marge and Homer were questioned by Inspector Wiggum, and Marge convinced him that Homer killed himself. Shortly after, Seymour's old friend, Gary Chalmers, arrived at their hotel room. Homer and Marge invited him in and tried to convince him that Seymour was at the Colosseum. When Chalmers noticed that Homer was wearing Seymour's ring, he threatened to call the police after he had his drink, which unbeknownst to him, was poisoned. As he drank it, Marge bludgeoned him with a bust, killing him.
As Homer and Marge went to hide Chalmers' body, Bart noticed them with it and tried to warn someone. However, Homer caught him and strangled him to death. Homer and Marge were questioned by the police once more, and it looked like Homer was going to confess. However, the police found Hans Moleman selling Chalmers' jewelry at a pawn shop and arrested him for the murder instead. While Homer and Marge were free to go, Marge was worried that Homer would let slip what they had done. The two of them went out on a small boat where Marge bludgeoned Homer to death with a bust. As Homer was dying, Marge had a glass of wine, which she realized had been poisoned by Homer. The two of them died on the boat together.
