The short story

Marge hopes to save Springfield Elementary by inviting a reclusive British children’s author (guest star Emma Thompson) to appear at the school’s book fair. But Homer botches his assignment of picking the author up at the airport, and the drunken pepper pot leads him on a desperate wild chase to get her to the school on time.
