In this episode, the Simpsons take Grampa to Denmark for its socialized medical system, and everyone except Homer considers moving there when they enjoy the culture.
The owner proceeds to show them around Copenhagen, visiting places like Amalienborg, Land of Legends and Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.
As he finally begins to consider the possibility, he changes his mind at the last minute and tries to push Grampa down the stairs for his free operation.
However, as Grampa clings to Homer's leg, he admits he did not really need an operation for something life-threatening, but to remove a heart-shaped tattoo engraved to Mona, as he feels ashamed of living without her.
At the airport, Homer begins to regret leaving her in Denmark, but Grampa admits he ruined his marriage to Mona similarly with his stubbornness, advising him not to make the same mistakes he did.
However, Marge admits that she is having second thoughts due to problems with space and arrangement in the apartment, and concedes to Homer that she is ready to go home.
Club gave this episode a C+, stating, "Grampa needs some expensive medical treatment, so the family heads off to a foreign country whose very different economic system allows for inexpensive health care for all.
Okay, well, once there, the family finds that their new surroundings offer a wealth of cultural benefits that seem almost designed to fulfill needs and dreams each member (but one) didn't even realize they had.
