Maya stops Moe just before the surgery, as she wants someone who sees her as "beautiful" not "short", and who does not need to cut himself down to her size in order to love her even though Mr. Nick Riviera agrees to conduct the surgery.
Moe decides to have surgery to become shorter, and Dr. Crushed by grief, Moe consults the advice of Lenny and Carl, who advise him to do something risky to win Maya back. Moe proposes but cannot resist making jokes about Mayas height. Homer, seeing Mayas intelligence and sensitivity, suggests Moe marry her. Moe decides to take Maya on a double date with Marge and Homer, neither of whom seem to care that she is small. Moe still loves her, but is worried about what his friends will think. Meanwhile, Moes date, whom he met over the Internet, turns out to be a little person named Maya. Moved to tears, Marge tells Homer he is a wonderful father. Maggie jumps to Homers rescue and Homer says that he loves both her and Marge. At first, Marge is surprised to see Maggie being tormented by the babies, but sees Homer, after he discovered the truth about the other babies from the playground, rush to Maggies rescue and be beaten up by Kearneys son. After watching a commercial about a surveillance camera fixed in the eye of a teddy bear, Marge purchases a spy camera which she attaches to Maggies hair band and discovers that Maggie is bullied by a group of gangster babies.
Marge notices Maggie is uncomfortable when she returns home one day, and becomes worried that Homer is neglecting her. Homer sends Maggie to play with the other babies outside, but they turn out to be ruthless bullies. Outside the window is a playground, which Homer sees as an opportunity for watching Maggie while spending time at Moes. Moe is cleaning up the bar for a date, and finds out he actually has a window, which was previously obscured by layers of grime. Homer attempts to spend more time with Maggie and ends up bringing her to Moes Tavern.
