The Simpsons have dinner with Aunt Selma and her new boyfriend, Sideshow Bob-Bart's archenemy. During dinner, Bob talks about his time in prison: the cells were overcrowded, his ChapStick was co-opted, and his Emmy was confiscated. While there, he spent every waking moment planning his revenge on Bart for exposing his plan to frame Krusty, but after receiving Selma's response to his Prison Pen Pal ad, he was inspired to become a model prisoner, and subsequently earned his release. Bob's tale of turning over a new leaf wins over the family, except Bart, who remains suspicious. However, Bob thanks Bart for putting him on the path which led him to Selma, and surprises the family by proposing to Selma, who eagerly accepts. Later, Sideshow Bob makes an appearance at a Krusty the Clown telethon and makes amends; Lisa encourages Bart to be as forgiving as Krusty, but Bart refuses to believe that Bob has changed. When Selma discovers that Sideshow Bob detests her beloved MacGyver and cannot hide his hatred, the marriage is nearly called off, much to Bart's delight. To save Bob and Selma's relationship, Homer explains to Bob his solution for his and Marge's dissonant tastes in television: when Marge watches TV, Homer goes out for drinks and returns "in the mood for love". Bob then agrees to take a "vigorous constitutional" whenever Selma watches MacGyver, much to Bart's anger.

While planning the wedding, Selma reveals that she is unconcerned about money, as she made a good profit in the Stock Market; Bob states that he hopes that nobody thinks that he is marrying her for the money. At the wedding, most of Springfield appears to be in attendance, including Krusty the Clown and incompetent Police Chief Wiggum. Selma later sends the Simpsons a videotape of her honeymoon with Bob, which includes his tirade over the absence of a gas fireplace in his hotel room that he had requested. She retires one evening to watchMacGyver in their suite, and while Bob is downstairs having a drink, the hotel room explodes behind him. Bob feigns a frantic phone call to the front desk about the accident. He makes his way back to the room to survey the damage, hoping to see if Selma is already dead, but he actually finds Bart waiting for him. Selma then appears to be unscathed, Bart having saved her life at the very last moment, and Bob is apprehended by the police while Selma angrily calls for a separation from Bob for trying to kill her.

Bob and Wiggum ask Bart how he managed to figure out Bob's scheme. Bart explains that he recalled Selma's promise to cut back her smoking habit to only smoking after meals and after watching MacGyver on Bob's advice during the wedding, as well as Bob's statement that he is intending to inherit Selma's money she made in the stock market. Bart also remembered that Bob insisted on getting a room with a fireplace, which convinced him that Bob was interested in the gas in order to generate an explosion. Bart also recalled that Selma had previously mentioned that she had lost her senses of smell and taste due to a bottle rocket incident as a child, and would therefore never have noticed the gas leak Bob had caused by intentionally leaving the gas valve open. When he realized what Bob's plan was, Bart fruitlessly explained it to Homer four times, before explaining his theory to Marge, Patty, and Lisa, who immediately understood him. It was then the Simpson family and Patty informed the police about Bob's scheme while they raced to the hotel, where Bart saved Selma from lighting her cigarette. After Bart finishes explaining his story, Bob asks why the room exploded if Bart had already foiled his plot. Chief Wiggum reveals that he, Lou, Eddie, and Homer smoked cigars in celebration after saving Selma; Wiggum, forgetting the gas, accidentally threw his match into the room. Bob is taken away by the police, vowing to return as soon as the Democrats are back in power. As Selma calls herself a fool for almost letting this happen, Marge cheers her up that Bob fooled almost everyone except for Bart, thanking him for not losing his mistrust.
