Homer's heart can't take the stress or the bacon, and when he ends up needing a triple bypass, the only doctor the Simpsons can afford is Dr. Nick. That's right, it's open heart surgery on a budget, complete with Lisa as a last minute assistant. We're diving into "Homer's Triple Bypass," an episode that somehow balances real stakes with absolute chaos. Is it funny? Is it touching? Is Dr. Nick legally allowed to do any of this? Let's find out. Be careful out there… and maybe skip the bacon.
