Puffless

Puffless is the third episode of Season 27.
==Synopsis==
After learning that their father really died of lung cancer, Selma and Patty agree to quit smoking. When Selma relapses, Patty moves in with Marge and Homer. Meanwhile, Maggie finds animals on the roof and befriends them.
==Full Story==
Homer, Bart, Lisa, Maggie and Grampa are watching television when Marge turns the TV off (which Homer complains at) and tells them that it is her mother's 80th birthday and the family should visit her, but Homer doesn't want to go, asking if they could go to her 81st birthday next year. Marge questions why seeing her family is such a chore, Homer tells her plainly that her family hates him. Marge asks to go for herself so Homer agrees.!!At Jacqueline's house, the party is low key as Lisa and Bart just mess around with some items in the house and Mr Burns tries to impress Jacqueline (only because he doesn’t want Abe to have her). During an endless slideshow she reveals that her husband, Clancy, died because of lung cancer but did not admit it to Patty and Selma due to the fact she was ashamed. This information surprises Patty and Selma, and they plan to quit smoking for good.
At the DMV, Patty realizes how hard it is to quit smoking after years of addiction and having a stroke. Patty also realizes that Selma is not affected by the sudden change of habits and plans to consult Dr. Hibbert. At the hospital, Patty discovers that Selma relapsed ten minutes after quitting smoking. They turn against each other and Patty moves to the Simpsons' house for a while.
Homer gets displeased by Patty's snoring and walks into the bathroom while she is taking a shower (which makes him spill bleach on his eyes and Bart's eyes). At the apartment, Selma had to make a hard choice: break away from smoking and reconcile with Patty or carry on smoking and lose her sister's respect. She chooses to quit smoking and they reconcile.
At the end of the episode, it is shown that Patty and Selma started smoking again, as it is easier to cover the bad smell coming from the apartment than to clean it up.
On a subplot, Maggie befriends a squirrel, who introduces her to other animals, such as an owl, a possum and a parrot (which is revealed to be Duffman's parrot). Cletus captures the possum for dinner and puts the captive animal under a dog's surveillance. Maggie makes a plan (with a little help from Plopper, the Spider-Pig) to fight against the Spucklers and free the possum.
