Synopsis
Marge decides she needs a vacation, after all the stress at home. She leaves for a place called "Rancho Relaxo", putting Bart and Lisa into the care of Patty and Selma.

He goes to see how the kids are getting on at Marge's sisters, and they're desperate to get away, after they are put into slavery by the sisters. Maggie goes looking for Marge after seeing how upset everyone is, including herself, and goes missing. A search breaks out and Maggie is found eventually, as Marge returns home.Quotes
