Story
Homer bought a book on carpentry, but he was not destined to read it. Marge became interested in the book and began to make benches first, then bedside tables. Marge’s work is not accepted, and all because she is a woman! Then she offers Homer to give her work for him.
Meanwhile, a ban on peanuts appears at school because someone has a very severe allergy. Walking around the school, Bart learns that allergy ... is with Director Skinner! A great way to mock a director!
Homer fulfills Marge's request, passing off work as his own. Everything is going smoothly, but Homer is very arrogant, which annoys Marge. He receives an important task - to restore an amusement park. Marge refuses to do the work, but Homer needs to get out ...
Bart is blackmailing the director with peanuts, but even Skinner doesn't have nerves of steel. He sneaks into the hospital at night and finds out that Bart is allergic to shrimp . Armed with shrimp, Skinner stood up for himself. And the battle came: Bart with peanuts against Skinner with shrimp. The battle comes to the Thai Food Factory and they fall into a vat with peanut shrimp. A strong allergic reaction in both manifested immediately.
Homer somehow restores the attraction, but the trial rental attempt is unsuccessful: in many places the rails are broken. But Marge still saves her husband by quickly fixing everything during the trip. But there were some injuries. As a result, Homer, Bart, and Director Skinner end up in the hospital. Moreover, Bart tells his mother that he was saving Seymour. In the end, they throw shrimp and peanuts at each other, and Marge goes to look at the newborns.
