Storyline
Bart uses his new miniature "spy" camera to take candid pictures around the household; meanwhile, Homer is preparing to go to a bachelor party for his co-worker at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. While at the party, Homer is invited to dance on stage with a stripper. Bart (who is dining with the rest of the family in the next-door restaurant) uses his camera to snap a photo of Homer and the dancer having a great time. At school, Martin develops the picture, which - after he compliments Bart's work - gets distributed around school, and eventually around town. Marge sees the photo and is outraged. Homer arrives home, where Marge immediately confronts her husband and kicks him out of the house. Eventually, Marge agrees to let him back in on the condition he take Bart around to meet the stripper and show that she is not a sex object. After almost winding up on stage at another of the dancer's performances, Homer does as he is asked and all is forgiven.

Homer's Night Out
Despite the title, the title only takes up a small amount of the episode, although the repercussions do make up a large part of the episode. It's the second consecutive Homer/Marge episode and is slightly less conventional in it's message than Life In The Fast Life, but the writing isn't really as strong.
The jokes aren't as strong, but have a couple of good moments and the lounge singer at the end (his name espcapes me) is a particularly strong character, just a shame he wasn't expanded upon in future episodes, though I believe he was voiced by a guest star (whose name also escapes me.)
The episode does progress nicely and the sequence that shows Bart's picture spread is somewhat well written and well-paced, and the episode somewhat regains it's stride near the end, but it's not overly strong just a kinda good episode.
