As the Simpsons watch television, newsman Kent Brockman files a report on the Springfield Isotopes, who are in first place since the acquisition of home-run king Buck Mitchell. When Homer hears the news, he heads for the baseball stadium, where Grampa tells a story about playing center field for an all-women baseball team during World War II. Recording artist Tabitha Vixx, who’s married to Buck Mitchell, performs the national anthem, which segues into a hot rock number. As she sings Tabitha pulls off costume after costume, revealing one skimpy outfit after another. The crowd goes wild, but Buck is not pleased. When the game gets underway, Buck blows play after play, accumulating six errors and two strike-outs. The crowd loses its patience, and boos the once-popular ballplayer. Their attention turns to the JumboTron screen, where the “kiss-cam” shows various audience members kissing. When the camera turns to Marge and Homer, they give each other a warm hug and a kiss. Buck sees them from the dugout, and concludes that they’re a happy couple. After the game Buck shows up at the Simpsons’ front door. He admits that his marriage is in trouble, and asks Homer and Marge if they’d be willing to act as marriage counselors. In private Marge wonders if it’s a wise idea, as her marriage to Homer isn’t exactly a walk in the park. Homer reminds her of all the hardships they’ve been through, and how they’ve always managed to pull things together. Marge and Homer agree to act as marriage counselors.

As the session gets underway, Marge asks Buck and Tabitha to explain what the problem is. Buck says he assumed that Tabitha would give up her recording career when they got married. He’s offended by the risqué numbers she performs in front of live audiences. Later Homer and Marge travel to Buck and Tabitha’s house for another session. Marge says they’re going to discuss ways to keep the romance alive in their marriage. She also says that the important thing is for Buck and Tabitha to schedule time for each other. When Buck returns to the stadium, his magic returns. Kent Brockman says the turnaround is due to Homer and Marge’s marriage counseling. People throughout Springfield appreciate Homer and Marge’s efforts. Later Tabitha performs another of her sexy dance numbers at Springfield auditorium. After the show, Homer heads for Tabitha’s dressing room, where Tabitha offers Homer a bucket of fried chicken. Buck appears outside the dressing room, and overhears Homer and Tabitha as they talk. As Tabitha’s urging, Homer massages Tabitha’s neck with his greasy fingers. The innocent conversation sounds incredibly risqué. Buck storms into the room, and beats up Homer.

When Buck’s game tanks yet again, word spreads that Homer and Marge are to blame. Bart tells Homer and Marge that their marriage counseling nearly got him beaten up at school. Homer thinks there’s only one thing to do: get Buck and Tabitha back together. Marge disagrees, insisting they’re out of the marriage-counseling business. Homer says he’ll have to do it on his own. Tabitha shows up at the Simpsons’ front door. She tells Marge she’s breaking up with Buck. Marge is aghast. She determines to save the marriage. During the next baseball game, a message appears on the Duff blimp. It reads, “Buck, I Love You, Tabitha.” It turns out that the message was Homer’s idea, not Tabitha’s. While piloting the blimp, Homer looks down on the field to see Buck’s reaction. Buck looks touched. He hits the next ball high into the air. The baseball punctures the blimp’s side, and the blimp floats towards the stands. Homer jumps out of the blimp and onto the field. Buck thanks Homer for saving his marriage. Homer makes the mistake of telling Buck that Tabitha died in the blimp crash. Buck realizes the whole thing is a lie. He picks up his bat, and advances on Homer. Marge appears on the JumboTron screen. She tells Buck that marriage is hard work. Tabitha appears next to Marge. Tabitha says she’ll take Buck back if he can guess the attendance in the park. Tabitha gives Buck the correct answer, and again affirms her commitment to the marriage. Buck thanks Homer for his hard work.
