"Milhouse of Sand and Fog" is the third episode of the seventeenth season of The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 25, 2005.

Plot

During Reverend Lovejoy's sermon, Maggie is caught scratching herself with a hymnal. Marge takes away the book, discouraged also by the fact that Homer is flossing his teeth with the bookmark string. Marge takes Maggie to the AME Church to see Dr. Hibbert, who diagnoses Maggie with chicken pox. Inspired by Flanders' suggestion of purposely exposing his sons to the chicken pox, Homer invites all the neighborhood kids over to the Simpson house for a "pox party". He ends up catching it himself, by drinking from Maggie's milk bottle, having no childhood immunity. Milhouse's parents attend the party, and after getting drunk on Marge's custom Margaritas, they resume their relationship.

Milhouse feels neglected because his parents are not fawning over him as they did while they were separated. He schemes to break them up again, and enlists both Bart and a plot borrowed from The O.C. The boys leave a bra, belonging to Marge, on Kirk's bed. Luann finds the bra, assumes Marge is having an affair with Kirk, and informs Homer. Homer confronts Marge, and after she angrily denies the allegation, she kicks him out of the house.

Bart and Milhouse plan to throw a dummy of Bart off a cliff into the river below, while Homer and Marge watch, hoping that the experience will bring his parents together. However, after breaking his glasses, Milhouse accidentally pushes Bart off the cliff. Homer leaps into the rapids to rescue him, but they have to cling on to a rock to avoid falling off a waterfall. Marge tells them to trust her, and let go of the rock. They let go and she catches them, swinging from a rope attached to a tree. Once safely on the river bank, Marge and Homer reconcile. Milhouse, thinking Bart died, attempts suicide by jumping off the cliff. The episode ends with Milhouse's fate unresolved.^[1]
