Right about now, you're probably saying, "Troy, basically every post starts with 'Guess the Episode', is that all this community is?"

To which I say you've got some attitude, mister.

Guess the Episode "Rules"

These "Rules" aren't real, so if you think of something clever, do that instead.

It's either the one where they find an angel or the one where homer starts officiating marriages for gay couples. Unless there is another episode I am forgetting where Homer turns his garage into a church and wears a priest outfit.

You got it with the second one. Angel was a solid guess.

I was leaning toward the latter because I only remember Marge yelling at Homer in another scene for the angel one, but I haven't seen either episode in so long, I couldn't be sure I wasn't just conflagrating stuff.

This one always stood out to me because Marge's stance on her sister's sexuality was oddly antithetical to her character. She was fine with everyone else being gay, but not Patty (Selma? I always confuse them lol).

Yeah I was originally going to mark this as Hard since it was a later season, but looking at it with Homer as a priest and the garage as a church I knew that had to start narrowing it down.

In terms of actual discussion on a lazy post, I think Marge's story in this episode is a great call out. So often it's Homer who needs to learn a lesson and Marge is seen as the "correct" one. But also I think Marge is coming from the "accept it because it doesn't affect me" viewpoint, which is better than not accepting at all, but still problematic. The growth Marge has in this episode is just excellent character building.

There’s something about Marrying.

Yup, that's the episode. Now begins the long and spiritual journey to becoming an ordained minister.
