"Marge and Homer Turn a Couple Play" is the twenty-second and the final episode of the seventeenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
During a game at Isotope Stadium, Buck's singer wife Tabitha Vixx sings the first few bars of The Star-Spangled Banner, then strips down to lingerie and launches into a lascivious performance of one of her own songs.
Buck, humiliated, delivers a terrible performance during the game, causing the crowd to jeer him.
Later that night, Buck shows up at the Simpsons' front door and asks for help with his marriage in exchange for season tickets.
Buck, reinvigorated, hits the baseball into the blimp, causing it to deflate and crash onto the field.
