The Simpsons have dinner with Selma and her new boyfriend Bob. The evening quickly triggers unease in Bart and Lisa as Bob’s presence uncovers a troubling backstory: while in prison, he nurtured a growing hatred for Bart after Bart exposed his crime of framing Krusty the Clown, and he began plotting revenge. Yet, after Selma responds to his “Prison Pen Pal” ad, Bob falls in love with her and resolves to become a model prisoner, earning an early release.
Bob proposes to Selma, and she accepts. He even makes an appearance at a Krusty the Clown telethon, and for a moment the couple seems to have found common ground. Lisa encourages Bart to forgive him, but Bart remains unconvinced, unsure if Bob has truly changed.
