| Call me whatever, but I'm fairly sure this isn't how Klingon couples get together. |
At long last, Principal Skinner and Mrs. Krabappel are going to have their wedding! For some reason, Marge is hosting Edna's bachelorette party at her house, while Homer leads the charge for Skinner's bachelor party... at Moe's. Its there that Skinner reveals he's getting cold feet. The next day, at the wedding, Skinner tries to flee but Homer stops him. Edna witnesses this and realizes that passionless Skinner wouldn't make for a good husband, and so she leaves him at the altar.
For some reason, Marge consoles Edna while Homer tries to lift Skinner's spirits. All the while, Marge and Homer are having marital spats of their own, which conflict with Homer's efforts to get Skinner back with Edna. Hard on the rebound, Edna takes a liking to the comic book guy, and it sure doesn't take long for those two to 'get busy'. Noticing Skinner outside in Homer's latest attempt to get him back with Homer, the comic book guy notes he'll be taking Edna to the Bi-Mon-Sci-Fi-Con. Marge learns of Edna's rebound, and though she and Homer still aren't getting along the family goes to get Edna back on track.
At the convention, they family notices Edna walking into a side room. Comic book guy, dressed in Klingon gear, proposes to Edna right in front of a bunch of other 'Klingons', but Skinner barges in, dressed as Catwoman, to stop it. As he and comic book guy start to fight, Edna stops both of them. Edna refuses to get back with Skinner, but also realizes she and comic book guy just wouldn't work either. The matter is settled, and Homer quickly sets up a 'second wedding' to patch things up with Marge.
Quick Review
Thus ends the seven-year saga of the relationship between Seymour Skinner and Edna Krabappel, a saga which included three episodes (including this one), and a few other references to the fact that they were once together. Also thrown into the mix is your standard Homer-and-Marge-are-having-marital-problems episode, as well as a few clunky comic book guy-related references. Combined, it makes for a decidingly bad episode. There aren't that many jokes, period, and even fewer that are actually funny, and there are a few cringeworthy moments peppered throughout that makes this episode somewhat awkward to watch.
Final Score: 5.8
