S19E7: Husbands and Knives
Marge opens a gym for real women because she's disenchanted with Springfield's snooty, glitzy L.A. Body Works. Her gym, Shapes: A Gym for Women, is a huge success, launching a chain that makes Marge rich and famous. But Homer fears Marge will leave him for someone more attractive and goes to extreme lengths to try to save his marriage.
Episode Ending
In "The Simpsons" Season 19, Episode 7, titled "Husbands and Knives," the episode wraps up with Bart's plan to get back at the bullies. He uses his newfound comic book art skills to draw them in embarrassing situations, which he then sells at the local comic book store. This turns the tables on the bullies, making them the laughingstock of the town. Meanwhile, Marge's successful gym business hits a snag when she decides to expand into a full-scale franchise. The stress of managing it all takes its toll, and she ultimately decides that she was happier running just one gym. So, she scales back and focuses on what made her passionate in the first place—helping people get fit and feel good. Elsewhere, Homer struggles with his body image after Marge's gym becomes popular. In a misguided attempt to support Marge, he goes through a series of ridiculous weight loss schemes. By the end of the episode, Homer learns to accept himself as he is, with a little help from Marge reminding him that she loves him no matter what he looks like. And there you have it: another day in Springfield wraps up with everyone more or less back to their dysfunctional normal.
