* ConfidentialityBetrayal: Homer lost his and Marge's lives' savings when he invested in pumpkins, and instead of selling his shares right before Halloween, held on to them into November. Since there was a real risk that the bank could repossess the house he tried asking for a loan from anyone, including Moe, who said he had to break Homer's legs since Homer had no collateral to offer. In desperation, he goes to [[ObnoxiousInLaws Patty and Selma]], who recently got a promotion and a major pay raise, who loan him the money. As Homer is celebrating solving the money issue at home, Patty and Selma drop in for a visit, and Homer acts cordial towards them, but when Marge steps out of the room, he bluntly tells them to leave, only for them to show him an [=I.O.U.=] he signed, and threaten to tell Marge. When forcing to Homer embarrass himself in front of Marge ends with her seeing the [=I.O.U.=], they tell Marge that Homer lost all of the family's money on jack-o-lanterns, which prompts Homer to angrily kick them out of the house since they told Marge of his screw up before he could pay off the debt.
