After Bart and Lisa accidentally get paint on a sleeping Patty's hair, Homer is forced to do something about it or get in trouble for letting it happen. Homer cuts Patty's hair, and unwittingly makes it looks pretty good. After Patty and Selma realize what's happened, Selma makes Homer cut her hair as well. The two send out word of Homer's ability, and soon Homer becomes in demand for haircuts. Homer reveals that, because he's lost his own hair he's grown a fascination with it, so much so that he's able to create fantastic cuts without even trying and so after learning how lucrative cutting women's hair could be, he opens up a hair salon.
However, Homer is forced to hear every woman talk all day long about their husbands or significant others, and the continued chatter starts driving Homer insane. He can't even see other men in town without attaching the criticisms their wives have made about them. He tries to retire, but Chief Wiggum won't let him when his wife wants her hair done for an upcoming policeman's ball. He tries to suck at it, but his hands are just too good. Seeing her husband going insane, Marge finally has enough. At the policeman's ball, Homer and Marge show up with Marge showing off a spectacular haircut. The women at the ball compliment Homer's latest, greatest work, but Homer reveals he didn't cut it at all: Marge's normal hairdresser Julio did, and so all the women across town go straight to him for their cuts now, relieving Homer from his misery. Homer decides to thank Marge by giving her a haircut of her own.
While this is all happening, Milhouse reveals to Bart that he has a new perspective on life after finally being able to see the opening scenes of Finding Nemo, which had previously been restricted from him. Realizing that if fish can die, he too can die at any moment so he decides to tell Lisa he loves her in a rather open fashion. He does so in the cafeteria, but Lisa plainly rejects Milhouse. However, a fifth grader named Taffy liked what Milhouse did and the two become a couple, which makes Lisa suspicious. Unable to grasp the concept of a popular fifth grader going out with Milhouse, Lisa starts stalking the two on a date. However, Lisa gets a bit lost in the process and ends up crashing the two's special moment. Taffy takes it as a sign that Milhouse will always love Lisa somehow, and breaks up with him. Milhouse becomes upset that Lisa not only won't hook up with him, but is now preventing him from hooking up with anybody else. Desperate to cheer Milhouse up, Lisa kisses him and though she's as uncommitted as ever, she does admit to him that he does look cute in the moonlight.
Quick Review
Well, this episode is pretty boring for the most part. Both stories didn't have much going for them, Milhouse's side story less so. Homer's storyline has a few noteworthy moments, particularly his flashback and the scene at the bar with Moe, but it too was mostly unspectacular.
Final Score: 6.5
