"Milhouse of Sand and Fog" is the third episode of the seventeenth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons.
In this episode, Milhouse’s parents reconcile, which makes him feel neglected, so he and Bart tried to break them up, which accidentally causes Homer and Marge to fight.
Milhouse's parents Luann and Kirk attend the party, and after getting drunk on Marge's custom margaritas, they resume their relationship.
To bring Homer and Marge back together, Lisa inadvertently influences Bart and Milhouse to plan to throw a dummy that looks like Bart off a cliff into the river below, while Homer and Marge, after receiving false messages from each other to meet, watch.
