Since the inspector is a friend of Moe's, he gives the bar a clean bill of health, regardless of numerous violations, but he dies upon consuming one of the expired pickled eggs.
The new inspector immediately declares Moe's Tavern to be closed down until the violations are cleared up and the weekly garbage pickup disposes of his predecessor's corpse.
Meanwhile, Moe finally confesses his true feelings for his partner that he has hidden in the dark for so long, spurred on by the alarming display he witnesses from the window seat.
Marge is shocked, but before she can answer, a soaking-wet Homer bursts out of the toilet seat in the bathroom and glares at Moe to leave his wife alone.
Moe seems to listen, but nevertheless reverts to his original scheme of sharing a hotel room with Marge (he has changed the booking on the sly).
Marge instead forces Moe to share the bed with Homer while she settles down on the couch, only to then realize that no one is watching Bart, Lisa and Maggie, who are shown to have traveled to Paris to enter a hot-air balloon race.
