[hide]Synopsis[edit]
- "Marge's "nice-lady" reputation is on the line when an unknown blackmailer threatens to expose the angry woman she is inside."
Plot[edit]
At Dollar Troll, due to spending too much money on that night's party food for her birthday, Marge buys the utensils, paper towels, and toilet paper with Lisa and Bart. Just as they come out, they try to hide from Helen Lovejoy, who is coming out of the Snooty Smoothies, but she recognizes Marge and starts mocking her for buying groceries there. They get home with Marge having a fit of rage all the way before storming upstairs. The kids and Homer try to imagine what she does to cool down, as she does every time, and then Marge comes back down calm to start the party—a big one, with celebrities—while the kids are all cramped in the living room supervised by Shauna.
Everyone congratulates her on being the nicest woman in Springfield, including Quimby declaring it, and the next day, while preparing to clean up, she finds out her secret box of hate letters is gone from the closet. She started writing them after finding an article on how to deal with people who made her angry. One of the people at the party last night is the thief and sends Marge a message on her phone requesting $5,000 to get them back or they would show them to the world. To get help, they try to ask the police but they are no help, so she thinks of paying the ransom and comes to ask for help from Patty and Selma, but they laugh in her face and tell her to show emotions instead of restraining them.
The time is almost up, and when they get the call, Homer answers it threatening the thief instead of giving up. At the church, Helen reads one of the letters but mistakenly thinks it was Agnes who wrote it, and chaos starts. Another call is received and Marge has only one hour to pay, but due to a phrase the letter-napper says, she identifies it as Shauna. She discovered her stash while browsing her closet for clothes to try on and conjured the letter-napping with Jimbo. Marge thinks of going to her home when she is not there, breaking in, and grabbing the letters, but Chalmers is there, so she improvises an interview for the PTA newsletter, while Homer breaks in.
She manages to hold on, even with Chalmers thinking she is flirting with him, long enough for Homer to grab the box and get out, but in the car, they find out that inside there are only novel books. They find Shauna and Jimbo on a motorcycle by the Retirement Castle and start following them until they corner them. Marge keeps pursuing Shauna up emergency exit ladders to a rooftop. After explaining why she wrote the letters, Shauna gets too close to the edge and falls, but Marge grabs her in time. She, however, has to choose between saving the letters or Shauna. She saves Shauna, who apologizes, and the letters all fall down to the people.
The letters arrive to the people in town who are participating in a parade, including Tim Meadows. Marge comes up on a float and apologizes for hiding her sentiments over the years and wants them to see her not as just a nice person, but one with feelings. At the store, she meets Helen, who despite appearing to have changed after reading the letter, keeps being snarky, so Marge, after covering Maggie's ears, tells her to kiss her ass. In the end, Tim Meadows writes angry letters to Marge and other people and companies.
