While driving there, they pick up hitchhikers <a href="/wiki/List_of_recurring_The_Simpsons_characters#Squeaky-Voiced_Teen" title="List of recurring The Simpsons characters">Squeaky Voiced Teen</a> and his girlfriend, Beatrice. <a href="/wiki/Homer_Simpson" title="Homer Simpson">Homer</a> flashes back twenty years earlier to 1988, when he and <a href="/wiki/Marge_Simpson" title="Marge Simpson">Marge</a> ride their bikes down a highway. While trying to kiss, Homer crashes his bike, forcing them to walk. <a href="/wiki/Ned_Flanders" title="Ned Flanders">Ned</a> and <a href="/wiki/Maude_Flanders" class="mw-redirect" title="Maude Flanders">Maude Flanders</a> are driving by, see them and pick them up. Ned and Maude are on their honeymoon after their wedding earlier that day, but Ned warns the other two about potential marital problems in the future. </p><p>Back in the present, Homer becomes annoyed with the Squeaky Voiced Teen kissing Beatrice, prompting another flashback to five years earlier in 2003, where a married Homer and Marge are more stressed. Driving with Marge, <a href="/wiki/Patty_and_Selma" title="Patty and Selma">Patty and Selma</a>, and getting the usual flak from the latter two, Homer angrily kicks them out of the car, unaware they had the map to their cabin destination. The car runs out of gas and Homer and Marge walk off with a gas can, stopping at a home to use the phone. The owner, Alberto, is having a party, and he invites them in. Marge becomes enraged after seeing Homer flirting with a beautiful woman named Sylvia. Following an argument, Marge accidentally falls into the pool. Homer starts a <a href="/wiki/Sushi" title="Sushi">sushi</a> fight, and Marge regrets marrying Homer. </p><p>In the present, the family drops off the Squeaky-Voiced Teen and Beatrice, and continue to their cabin. In 1988, Ned barricades unmarried Homer and Marge chastely in separate rooms of the cabin to discourage <a href="/wiki/Premarital_sex" title="Premarital sex">premarital sex</a>. In 2003, Alberto comforts Marge, who leaves the party with him for a private airplane ride, while Homer, seeing them in the sky, drives off with Sylvia. They each decide to spend the night together but end up at the cabin, where Homer sees Marge through the window but does not see Alberto. Upon hearing Homer calling out for Marge, Alberto panics and hides in a trunk just before Homer arrives. Despite his initial misgivings, Homer concludes that he and Marge were both there to recapture the memories of their dating years. On Marge's insistence, Homer pulls the trunk out of the room, where he promptly pushes Sylvia into out of Marge's eyesight. Alberto and Sylvia fall in love in the trunk while Homer and Marge rekindle their love. </p><p>In the present, Homer and Marge meet Alberto and Sylvia, now married with a daughter named Ruthie, and learn of each other's near-affairs. Marge is disgusted, but Homer points out she was just as bad as he was. Homer regrets marrying Marge and, trapped in a ball of their luggage which happened while unpacking, has Ruthie roll him into the woods. </p><p>Back in 1988, Ned comforts Homer, who is despondent at Marge's absence the previous night, and encourages him to consider marrying Marge in the future. Taking a walk through the woods with Marge, Homer carves the message "Marge + Homer 4ever" into a tree. In the present, Homer sees this message, and tries to cut it out of the tree to show to Marge as a symbol of their everlasting love. Marge arrives to reassure him but accidentally knocks the tree over a ravine. Homer clings onto the bark and falls down the ravine toward the river below with Marge falling after.

The best of them tickle a nostalgic funny bone, but 'Dangerous Curves' doesn’t really fit with those episodes, though. The story of Homer and Marge’s marriage weathering a serious storm would be a lot more compelling if we hadn’t seen it before. I’m glad the writers feel they can write character-based stories after 19 years. I just wish they’d stop repeating themselves. Still, 'Dangerous Curves' is at least a complete story from beginning to end, and it has some of the best one-liners this season."<sup id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-5"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>5<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>Daniel Aughey of <a href="/wiki/TV_Guide" title="TV Guide">TV Guide</a> said, "[It was the] Worst.
