"Milhouse of Sand and Fog" is the third episode of the seventeenth season of The Simpsons. It originally aired on the Fox network in the United States on September 25, 2005.
During Reverend Lovejoy's sermon, Maggie is caught scratching herself with a hymnal. Marge takes away the book, discouraged also by the fact that Homer is flossing his teeth with the bookmark string. Marge takes Maggie to the AME Church to see Dr. Hibbert, who diagnoses Maggie with chicken pox. Inspired by Flanders' suggestion of purposely exposing his sons to the chicken pox, Homer invites all the neighborhood kids over to the Simpson house for a "pox party". He ends up catching it himself, by drinking from Maggie's milk bottle, having no childhood immunity. Milhouse's parents attend the party, and after getting drunk on Marge's custom Margaritas, they resume their relationship.
Milhouse feels neglected because his parents are not fawning over him as they did while they were separated. He schemes to break them up again, and enlists both Bart and a plot borrowed from The O.C. The boys leave a bra, belonging to Marge, on Kirk's bed. Luann finds the bra, assumes Marge is having an affair with Kirk, and informs Homer. Homer confronts Marge, and after she angrily denies the allegation, she kicks him out of the house.
