Episode Summary
After the Simpsons take Grampa out for their once-a-month family get-together, Grampa feels that there is little left to live for. However, when he meets Beatrice, a beautiful woman at the retirement home where he lives, he finds a new reason to carry on. After a few dates, Beatrice and Grampa fall in love. When he learns that the following Sunday is Beatrice's birthday, Grampa makes plans to celebrate. Homer, however, drags him off against his will to join the family at Discount Lion Safari.

When Grampa returns to the rest home, he finds that Beatrice has died. At the reading of Beatrice's will, he inherits her fortune. Appearing as an angel, Beatrice suggests to Grampa that he help those in need. He interviews hundreds of needy people and realizes that he needs more money than the $100,000 he inherited. He joins a casino junket to gamble with the money.

Homer finds his father at the roulette wheel, steps in, and saves him from losing all his newly acquired money. Unsure of how to spend the fortune, Grampa realizes that the retirement home is in disrepair and needs modernization. He puts his money where his heart is and spends it on the refurbishing home.
