We flashback to 1974, when they were both in their senior year of high school. While Homer was quite the slacker, Marge was a responsible student, but when she attends a feminist rally and burns a bra on the school grounds, she's sent to detention. It just so happens that Homer and <a href="/wiki/Barney" class="mw-redirect" title="Barney">Barney</a> are already there, having been busted for smoking in the school restroom. Upon seeing Marge enter the room, Homer is smitten and wants to ask her to the Prom. </p><p>To get to be around her more, Homer joins the debate team that Marge is on. However, Marge is more interested in the more... articulate <a href="/wiki/Artie_Ziff" title="Artie Ziff">Artie Ziff</a>. As a plan B, Homer pretends to be a French student so that he can be tutored by Marge. It appears to be working, and when Homer asks Marge to the senior prom, she says yes. However, when Homer reveals he doesn't really take French, Marge grows furious and storms out of the house, yelling after her that she hates Homer. The next day, due to her lack of sleep, Marge is unprepared for her role on the debate team. Afterwards, Artie Ziff asks Marge to the Prom, whom she gladly accepts. </p><p>Homer doesn't realize (or perhaps, refuses to believe) that Marge has rejected him, and so shows up for prom night to pick her up. After being insulted by Marge's sisters, Homer realizes his assumptions were incorrect when Artie shows up to pick up Marge. Homer still decides to go to the Prom, since he already rented his tuxedo, a limousine, and paid for the two dinners at the event. At the Prom, Homer's night seems to get worse: from having a Prom photo taken only of himself, and watching as Marge and Artie are crowned Prom King and Queen. </p><p>Later, Marge and Artie leave the prom and go off to have an intimate moment. Marge is rather unsure about this, and grows angry when Artie clumsily steps over the line. Upon her demand, Artie drives her home, wishing her good night, and asking that she not tell anyone about his 'busy hands.' Marge is about to enter her house when she hears her parents arguing through the door, saying how uncouth Homer was, and how lucky Marge was for going to the Prom with Artie. Marge then gets in her car, and finds Homer walking along the side of the road, having lost his ride. Marge gives him a ride, and says that she should have taken him instead. At these words, Homer mentions that he's a little afraid, because "Once you stop this car, I'm going to hug you, and kiss you, and then I'll never be able to let you go." The episode ends with Homer happily embracing Marge as the Simpson children look on. While Lisa and <a href="/wiki/Maggie" class="mw-redirect" title="Maggie">Maggie</a> look pleased, Bart (as is expected), is grossed out. </p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Production">Production</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Way_We_Was&action=edit&section=3" title="Edit section: Production">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"><div style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;"><div style="margin:15px auto;"><a href="/wiki/File:7F12_Script.jpg" class="image"><img alt="7F12 Script.jpg" src="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/c/cf/7F12_Script.jpg/94px-7F12_Script.jpg" width="94" height="120" srcset="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/c/cf/7F12_Script.jpg/140px-7F12_Script.jpg 1.5x, https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/c/cf/7F12_Script.jpg/187px-7F12_Script.jpg 2x" /></a></div></div> <div class="gallerytext"> </div> </div></li> </ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Gallery">Gallery</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Way_We_Was&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Gallery">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <ul class="gallery mw-gallery-traditional"> <li class="gallerybox" style="width: 155px"><div style="width: 155px"> <div class="thumb" style="width: 150px;"><div style="margin:32.5px auto;"><a href="/wiki/File:The_Way_We_Was_ad.png" class="image"><img alt="The Way We Was ad.png" src="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/6/65/The_Way_We_Was_ad.png/120px-The_Way_We_Was_ad.png" width="120" height="85" srcset="https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/6/65/The_Way_We_Was_ad.png/180px-The_Way_We_Was_ad.png 1.5x, https://static.simpsonswiki.com/images/thumb/6/65/The_Way_We_Was_ad.png/240px-The_Way_We_Was_ad.png 2x" /></a></div></div> <div class="gallerytext"> </div> </div></li> </ul> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="In_other_languages">In other languages</span><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=The_Way_We_Was&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: In other languages">edit</a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></h2> <table align="left" width="50%" style="background: #e9d677;
