Homer is distraught, but then wakes up in the therapist's office and realizes that it was all a dream, and he and Marge will stay together. He is a perfect husband for a month, and Marge is happy. He then wakes up in a bar with his young girlfriend and realizes that the perfect month was a dream, while the divorce was a reality. Marge is married to the girl's father and the family is happy.
