"Every Man's Dream" is the season premiere of the twenty-seventh season of the animated television series The Simpsons, and the 575th episode of the series overall. It aired in the United States on Fox on September 27, 2015. In the episode, Homer and Marge go through a trial separation. During this time, Homer dates a pharmacist and Marge dates the father of said pharmacist.

Homer wakes up at the Power Plant to an alarm, where he accidentally causes an electrical explosion at his desk. He falls back asleep while the fire is extinguished. He is taken to Springfield General Hospital, where Dr. Hibbert discovers Homer has narcolepsy, a sleeping sickness. He receives a medical note, which he uses to excuse himself from performing daily tasks. Dr. Hibbert contacts Marge to ask Homer to get some medication, which he goes to collect. When queuing to collect his medication, Homer complains about waiting in line, before falling asleep on the floor. He returns home later that night without any medication and Marge can smell that Homer has been out drinking. After Marge complains at Homer, the couple agree they should go to see a therapist. The therapist says that Homer and Marge's relationship is falling apart and that the best option for them is separation, which could lead to divorce if things don't improve. Marge, frustrated with the sleeping Homer, agrees and tells him to leave for the time being. Homer packs his bags, and prepares to leave the family. Lisa is confused as to why her father is leaving, so Marge tells the kids that she and Homer are splitting up, and she is unsure when or if she will let him return. After Homer drives off, crying, he sleeps over at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, hoping that Marge will forgive him soon like she did after previous break-ups. However, Lenny learns that Marge has changed her social media relationship status to "it's complicated". Homer then calls Marge, to discover on her voicemail she has reverted to her maiden name, Bouvier.
