Then for the first time he sees footage of the nurse sneaking past the hidden security-camera while gathering up a huge armful of sponges.“I tried to insert commentary in the video only when the clips didn’t speak for themselves, when it wouldn’t be immediately clear from the context what was LGBT-related and why I included it,” wrote Mackie. Hibbert is watching the tape and remarks that he made tapes because he suspected a nurse of stealing sponges. Marge appears and says she still does and they reconcile. Marge says that she loves him in the tape. Hibbert disagrees and plays a tape from the past of Homer's first alcohol poisoning. Homer says it was the night that destroyed his marriage. Hibbert tells him that the incident was not as bad as the night he first treated him for alcohol poisoning. Homer is about to come to the realization that all of his problems are caused by alcohol when Moe forces beer down Homer's throat, giving him alcohol poisoning.Īfter Homer awakens, Dr. Homer realizes that Grady is in love with him and jumps out of the window, heading to Moe's Tavern to get some advice from Moe. Back at the apartment, Grady tries to comfort Homer by telling him that he will find someone else, and kisses him romantically. When he arrives, she is upset that he is late and drunk, and leaves him. Meanwhile, at the venue of the date, Marge anxiously awaits Homer's arrival. Marge then asks Homer out on a date, but he is nervous while preparing for his date and drinks too much margarita. The next day, Homer sees Marge and the kids, who have brought "Weird Al" Yankovic and his band, who play a song called "Homer and Marge", a parody of John Mellencamp's " Jack & Diane", to tell Homer that Marge loves him. At a gay bar, Homer tells Grady and Julio that his relationship with Marge is on the rocks. Homer has a visit home after taking Bart and Lisa out, but Marge and Homer still argue. Finding out that the place is in Springfield's gay district, Homer moves in with a gay male couple, Grady and Julio. Homer then reads a newspaper saying that there is a place available. He spends some time at Kirk Van Houten's apartment, but the generally depressive mood of the apartment complex where he lives drives him out. The next day, they argue again and Homer leaves the house. Homer then realizes Marge has been resenting him behind his back. When Homer confronts Marge about the letter, she says she was just upset that night but is forced to admit that Homer did, and still does, things that annoy her.
This leaves Homer concerned about why Marge stayed with him he then finds a hospital appointment card dated two days later, confirming she was pregnant with Bart. It says that Homer made the opening the worst day of her life because due to him becoming drunk and ditching her to play Asteroids on an arcade machine with his friends, after which he was sent to the hospital with alcohol poisoning. Homer looks through Marge's memory box and sees a poster of Moe's Tavern's opening (advertised as Meaux's Tavern) with Marge's writing on it. After they realize a jigsaw piece is missing, the family look for it. The family is creating an enormous jigsaw puzzle. The episode won the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Animated Program, just as "Homer's Phobia" did in 1997. "Three Gays of the Condo" was The Simpsons' second episode to revolve entirely on homosexuality, after " Homer's Phobia" in 1997, and just like the predecessor, the episode received largely positive reviews from both the critics and the LGBT community, praised for its smart comedy. Upset, Homer moves in with two gay men, Grady and Julio. Homer notices two days later that Marge is pregnant with Bart, so he thinks that is why she stayed with him. In the episode Homer finds out that while dating, Marge did not enjoy going to Moe's Tavern while Homer got drunk. The title is a pun on the 1975 film Three Days of the Condor. The episode was written by Matt Warburton and directed by Mark Kirkland.
It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on April 13, 2003.
