Synopsis

At the Springfield Aquarium, Marge accompanies the kids on a school field trip. Lisa spots penguins flying; Bart has shown off his "flawless pearls," which results in him being attacked. He is sent to the hospital, where a lack of insurance keeps him prisoner. Homer has the insurance card, but is nowhere to be found. As a solution, Homer gets a mobile phone and a few extra unnecessary accessories, which only leads to him not paying attention to where he is driving, until it is much too late and he drives off a pier. Judge Harm takes his license away and Homer is no longer able to drive. Marge picks up the slack and starts becoming "Stresserella." Homer walks to Moe's, but much to Moe's dismay, he decides to keep on walking and starts getting healthier. Homer walks to work and is the only employee to arrive, while everyone else is caught in a traffic jam. Marge is frazzled from all her driving; meanwhile, Homer sings and talks about the virtues of walking when he is struck by a car; the driver of the car is Marge. A field trip is typically a journey by a group of people performing research on a topic to a place away from their normal environment. ...

Marge, who cares so much for Homer, tries to help in his recovery, but Homer perceives that she might be trying to kill him. It leads to a fight, which in turn leads them to see a marriage counselor. After Marge leaves, the counselor suggests that Homer perform one unselfish act of love to win Marge back, in other words take her to dinner. Homer decides to one-up that suggestion and invites everyone in Springfield (except the Flanders family) to a backyard barbecue in Marge's honor. Homer joins Jackson Browne in a duet to sing his praises of Marge.
