Well, I personally enjoyed this episode. Many fans of The Simpsons have been complaining that the series is becoming a bit boring, and for a while I had to agree with them. But this episode changed my speculation in a way, it was very interesting to watch, and besides other episodes in season 21 it had very clever writing. I give this episode 4 stars out of 5. What did you think? Explain in a comment.

Plot
Marge and a group called the “Charity-Chicks” pose for a calendar in hopes of raising money for charity, but Marge’s racy poses becomes the talk of the town. Elsewhere, Carl becomes Homer supervisor at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant after the old supervisor retired, and Carl hires Homer as his assistant. Homer’s new job takes a big part in his life, preventing him from fulfilling his relationship with Marge. When he and Marge take a vacation to a romantic hotel, they are interrupted as Carl calls Homer and tells him to make reservations for a nuclear power plant convention in Paris. While Homer travels to Paris with Carl, Marge gets seduced by her neighbour Ned Flanders, after she invites him for dinner. Eventually, Homer becomes overworked with his new job and wants to go back to Springfield, but Carl threatens to fire him if he does not stay. Homer, however, blackmails Carl by threatening to tell the President of France, Nicolas Sarkozy, about Carl’s tryst with Sarkozy’s wife, Carla Bruni. Because of this, Carl lets Homer go. At the end of the episode, he is back to his house in Springfield and is finally able to have sex with Marge.
