Due to his many years of eating unhealthy foods, Homer suffers a heart attack, and needs to have a triple bypass surgery. He has to choose between the $40,000 operation set by Dr. Julius Hibbert, which he cannot afford or the $129.95 operation by Dr. Nick Riviera. When he chooses the cheaper surgery, Homer begins to accept that he may die. However, the operation goes well and with a little help from Lisa, Dr. Nick saves Homer's life.
Homer's eating habits catch up with him when he has a heart attack at work.

* [[Bait and Switch Comment]]: Mr. Burns uses this to lure Homer into a false sense of security.
{{quote| "Perhaps I'm being too hasty, you are highly skilled...at goofing off! Now don't worry Homer, you're the kind of guy I could really dig...a grave for!"}}
* [[Beat Still My Heart]]: We get an inside look on Homer's heart reacting to Mr. Burns yelling at him.
* [[Hollywood Heart Attack]]: Happens when Mr. Burns berates Homer for the latter's work ethic.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
** The opening sequence of the episode parodies ''[[COPS (series)||Cops]]''. Interestingly, it wasn't in the original animatic, and was added to increase the episode's length.
** The scene where Homer sings in a church as a boy is based on ''[[Empire of the Sun (novel)|Empire of the Sun]]''.
