Ep 3. Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'em

Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'em is the third episode of the eighteenth season of The Simpsons. In this episode, Homer becomes an advocate for the rights of undocumented immigrants after accidentally getting a group of immigrants fired from his job at the power plant. He takes on the role of a "human smuggler," helping the immigrants find work and avoid getting caught by immigration authorities. Meanwhile, Marge starts a carpentry business and hires Bart and Lisa as her assistants.

The episode begins with Homer working at the power plant when he hears a group of immigrant workers speaking Spanish. He doesn't understand what they're saying, but assumes they're talking about him and becomes angry. He goes to his boss and complains, which leads to the immigrants being fired. Feeling guilty, Homer decides to help them find new jobs.

Homer starts taking the immigrants to various businesses around town and vouching for them. He tells the employers that the immigrants are hard workers and that he can vouch for their reliability. However, he soon realizes that the immigrants are being exploited by the businesses they work for, and that they're often paid less than minimum wage and treated badly.

Homer decides to take matters into his own hands and becomes a "human smuggler." He starts driving the immigrants around himself, taking them to homes where they can work as cleaners or gardeners. He also hides them in the Simpsons' house, which causes some tension with Marge.

Meanwhile, Marge decides to start a carpentry business after discovering her talent for woodworking. She makes a birdhouse and sells it at a flea market, where it becomes a hit. She hires Bart and Lisa as her assistants, and they start making all sorts of woodworking projects. However, Marge's success starts to wane when Homer starts bringing immigrants into their home, which takes up a lot of her workspace.

The episode concludes with Homer successfully helping the immigrants find jobs and avoid getting caught by immigration authorities. He becomes a hero in the immigrant community and is thanked by the immigrants for his help. Marge's carpentry business also picks up again, and she makes a special project for Homer as a thank you for his help with the immigrants.

Please Homer, Don't Hammer 'em is a satirical take on the immigration debate in the United States. It sheds light on the struggles faced by undocumented immigrants and the difficulties they face in finding work and being treated fairly. It also highlights the role that everyday citizens can play in helping immigrants, regardless of their legal status. The episode manages to tackle a serious topic in a humorous and engaging way, while still maintaining the heart and soul of The Simpsons.
