In the episode, Marge befriends a group of women called the Cheery Red Tomatoes, while Milhouse tutors Lisa in Italian.

Marge learns that the Cheery Red Tomatoes plan to steal Faberge eggs from Mr. Burns's mansion, after he ruined their fundraiser by backing out on a promised donation.

They flee the mansion seemingly empty-handed, but Marge reveals that she has hidden one egg in her hair, allowing the Cheery Red Tomatoes to replace the money Burns did not donate.

[5] Colin Jacobson of DVD Movie Guide did not like the plot twist involving the Tomatoes but thought the episode was "a decent show despite the missteps.

"[6] On Four Finger Discount, Brendan Dando and Guy Davis did not like that most of the episodes this season thus far featured Homer being a poor husband or father but highlighted the performance by Lily Tomlin.
