Homer and family are headed out to the Nuclear Plants company picnic, hosted by Mr. Burns at his estate. Homer, wanting to impress Mr. Burns tries to make his family seem perfect, which doesn’t go well.
Mr. Burns is already in a bad mood since someone went around telling everyone in the company that Mr. Burns likes Jell-O deserts.
Eventually Marge gets drunk, the kids start fighting, and Bart tries to beat Mr. Burns in the father/son sack race. Once they get home, Homer is so disappointed that he calls a family meeting, and tries to show everyone what a normal family is like, by peeping though windows.
After almost getting shot by one of the families Homer ends up at Moe’s, where he sees a TV ad for Dr. Monroe’s Family Clinic. Homer empties his kids collage fund and sells their television to get the $250 needed for an appointment.
The appointment goes horribly, everyone ends up shocking each other. Dr. Monroe tells everyone to leave. Homer demands the "double your money back" guarantee. The Simpson’s end up with $500 that they spend on a new television set, everyone is happy.
