- The episode begins in a field with the Mayors-Easter Egg Hunt. All the kids find an egg, except Maggie, so Homer goes round stealing eggs from the other kids and he and the rabbit referee begin fighting.
Meanwhile, Marge and the other women are on a tour of the Mayors house and just as they are about to have tea, Homer comes crashing through the window and gets everyone kicked out.
In bed, Marge is still mad at Homer and he vows to find her a friend.
At Springfield Elementary, Lisa finds a pamphlet for a summer in Rome and she goes to see Principal Skinner and he tells her she needs to speak fluent Italian and she lies about knowing the language.
At the supermarket, Homer chases a woman until she runs into cans.
Lisa tries to learn Italian from a CD but it turns out it's teaching her how to speak like the mafia. In the Simpsons living room, Homer has brought the crazy cat lady to be Marges new best friend and she goes out for a walk, while crazy cat lady throws a cat over the roof.
Just as Marge is about to give up, she saves a woman's red hat and she announces they are called the "Cherry Red Tomatoes" and joins their group, before going into "Johnny Fiestas". Marge, now in a red dress shows her family, but Homer mocks her.
Lisa answers the door to her new Italian tutor, which turns out to be Milhouse and he tells her the story of his grandmother who lived in Tuscany. Lisa agrees to the tutoring.
Marge walks in to find Homer asleep on the rug. Lisa tells Milhouse she's been studying and shows him her flash cards, but he rips them up and tells her to ride with him to little Italy. After teaching her the Italian lifestyle, Milhouse rides Lisa home and claims to be lucky, only for Nelson to punch him in the stomach.
Marge, now skydiving is told she has a surprise. Back on the ground, Marge receives her own hat and is inducted as a full member of the gang. The group then go on to say they are going to steal $1 million from Mr Burns and Marge says she can't steal. It is revealed that Mr Burns promised the money would go to a children's charity, but he used the money to extend his own life by a further 10 minutes. The ladies say they are going to be stealing Jewell encrusted eggs and when they attempt to take back Marges hat, she agrees.
Marge sneaks out of the house and tells Homer she is going bird watching, but Homer gets suspicious when she leaves her spotting book at home. Lisa sings and brushes her hair, before Lisa comes downstairs to see Milhouse teaching another girl and she begins hitting him with a tree branch, just like his grandmother used to.
On the bed, Homer goes through Marges plans, finds a clue and goes out trying to stop the group. When Mr Burns and Smithers go out, the gang sneak in and they tell Marge she is the only one skinny enough to fit into the vent. Just as they are opening the combination to the safe, Homer turns up at the mansion, but the police follow him. While the police mess around, Mr Burns goes to shoot them, but when he sees they are ladies, thinks better of it. He lets them all Scot free if they return all the eggs.
Back outside, the gang think they have failed, but Marge reveals she snuck an egg out in her hair. The ladies say they can't see her anymore, to be safe. Homer tells her that he can do things that other friends cannot, before cutting to a shot of him and Marge in a hot air balloon, having dinner and Moe, attempting suicide lands on top.
