Description
Show: The Simpsons
Episode: 9
Year: 1990
Writer(s): John Swartzwelder
Director(s): David Silverman
Holy crap, this episode is intense! Even back when The Simpsons was still trying to find itself and was still far into its infancy, it proved that it could write a very engaging and mature story for adults without having to shoehorn in gross-out or shock humor at any point. Stories of passion and infidelity for some reason are very difficult to handle in most adult media without making the character in question a bastard, and yes, it's usually a man who cheats on his wife which is the standard for this plot because he's unfaithful and promiscuous (and I'll tackle "Homer Badman" later to show how this type of gentrification can hurt men). It's rare the woman is the one at fault in these situations due to fear of upsetting women's rights or whatever. This episode shows that even women can make the same mistakes as men and sometimes when love is strong enough, anything can be forgiven.
Considering Marge is married to someone like Homer, this doesn't surprise me she would be swayed by someone with a brain and whose gut doesn't constitute 30% of their body. Not to mention Homer being selfish enough to buy Marge a birthday gift that he wants. Jacque (voiced by Albert Brooks of Finding Nemo fame) is a suave son of a bitch with a love of bowling and a heart of eternal flame. They don't make it obvious that he's a player either: at first, he seems like he's genuinely enamored with Marge and wants to be more than just her bowling instructor. Considering Marge's family constantly puts her down for her life choices, Marge being so quick to crush on this guy makes total sense due to a lack of self-worth and confidence in her life.
Even Lisa can see that her mother is caught up in a failing marriage and is wracked with guilt. Overcompensating is a clear sign of such a thing, it happens in real life all the time. Even back then, Lisa was such a gifted cutie pie, without needing to get on a fucking soapbox! This is also the first appearance of the gossipy hen Helen Lovejoy who is married to Springfield’s resident reverend. This hidden romance gets to the point where Jacque invites Marge to his apartment! And she has this dream sequence. I also have to give props to how seriously they're taking this: they basically say there is no easy way to deal with something like your lover going behind your back when Bart asks Homer for advice on the matter, all while barely needing to say a thing.
The final moments of the episode are some of the strongest I've seen from The Simpsons and are a staple to how this show could do emotional turmoil and character growth. Sometimes an apology isn't needed; some lovers just have that special connection that lets them know when the others done wrong and is truly ashamed of what they did. Forgiveness is a hard thing to earn back, but Marge definitely earned back Homer's. Next to "Simpsons Roasting on an Open Fire", this is the best episode of The Simpsons' highly overlooked 1st season without a doubt.

I won't lie, this picture almost looks like Marge is dancing with Reverend Lovejoy. Obviously I haven't seen this episode, although I actually own season 1 on DVD. Goes to show how much of it I've watched.
