A great Episode!

*spoilers* After Marge ruins Otto's wedding with a girl named Becky,she lets her to live in her house.Homer,Lisa and Bart start to like Becky very much,but Marge thinks that Becky is trying to replace her.After Marge visits Patty and Selma,she thinks that Becky is trying to seduce Homer,steal Marge's family and of course-kill her :P After Becky tries to save Homer's live in the ice cream shop(CPR),Marge rushes into the scene,and accuses Becky of being 'userper'.She then tries to kill Becky but the police catches her.Then the things get even more ugly:the doctors find her insane,so she escapes from the courtroom and tries to prove that Becky is 'evil' and that she is not insane.And of course,in the end,Becky's not evil,but Marge is still insane LOL. *end of spoilers*

This is another Simpson classic episode.But remember that 'classic' means 'great'!
