Wait and hope

Marge Simpson stands in a kitchen with a large pile of laundry on a table, then the scene cuts to Homer Simpson in the living room, looking thoughtful before sitting on the couch and reading a magazine. Marge appears again, now wearing a red beaded necklace and looking annoyed, while Bart helps her put on oven mitts in the kitchen. The sequence ends with a shot of a tree decorated with numerous yellow bows.
