The Wayz We Were

Evergreen Terrace's street is overcome by a major traffic jam and everyone is miserable. Meanwhile, Moe Szyslak is sitting in his car waiting for the traffic to move when he sees a maroon car behind him and believes he remembers it from his past.

Later that night, the Simpson family call the entire neighborhood to discuss the traffic problem, and learn that the entire family is highly disliked due to their annoying antics. After realizing the neighborhood hates them, Homer promises to redeem themselves. Afterwards, he goes to Professor Frink and Frink digitally takes the street off the maps, thus getting rid of traffic on that street. The townspeople hail Homer as a hero, but he quickly gets annoyed by their praises.

Meanwhile, Moe finds the car behind him belongs to his former short girlfriend Maya, from "Eeny Teeny Maya Moe". Maya quickly asks Moe to get back together and he gladly accepts her back. The two spend a large amount of time at the bar and begin singing, but Moe worries Maya might leave him again just like every other girl in his life.

A grief stricken Moe then heads to Bart's treehouse in very emotional pain. Homer then convinces Moe to leave the treehouse by telling him Maya loves him and she would never leave him. The two reconcile and kiss and Moe proposes to Maya, who happily accepts.

The couch gag, titled "All Hail Princess Maggie!," was created by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios. Produced with stop-motion animation and made entirely from wood, the gag was directed by John Harvatine IV and written by Tom Root.[2]
