Homer vs. Lisa and the 8th Commandment
We open in the time of Moses, where Homer the Thief is distraught to receive the commandment "Thou shalt not steal." In the present, a cable installer offers to sell Homer an illegal hookup. Later in Sunday school, Lisa is alarmed to lean that stealing can cost you your soul, while on the ride home from church, Bart is amused to repeat the word "hell" again and again. Lisa grows more concerned when she observes stealing in everyday life like Marge eating grapes in the supermarket. Concerned for her family's soul, she vows to no longer watch Homer's illegal cable, no matter how enticing the shows are. Homer invites all his friends over to watch an exciting heavyweight fight, but the sight of Lisa staring mournfully from the front yard robs him of his joy. He joins Lisa and, when the fight is over, climbs a utility pole (despite Bart's entreaties) and cuts off the cable.
Principal Charming
When Marge's sister Selma sadly tells Lisa she's wishing she could find a man, Marge puts Homer to work in trying to fix her sister up. Homer rejects various suitors as unsuitable, but when called into a meeting with Bart's Principal, Skinner, Homer realizes that he would make an ideal candidate. Homer invites Skinner to dinner, but instead of Selma, the principal falls for her sister Patty. He is so smitten he lets Bart get away with murder at school, while lonely Selma gets even more disconsolate. Ultimately, Patty rejects Skinner (and possibly all men) leaving Selma pleased, while a bitter Skinner takes out his rejection on Bart.
Oh Brother Where Are Thou?
After watching the latest McBain film, Grampa had a mild heart attack, and decides to tell Homer that he has a long lost brother. Homer tracks him down, and is ecstatic to learn that his brother, Herb Powell, is a successful auto industry executive in Detroit. The Simpsons drive to visit Herb, who welcomes them into his luxurious world. While taking Homer through his plant, Herb concludes that his brother has a better grasp of the American public's tastes than his own engineering team, and puts Homer in charge of designing a new car. The engineers try to fend Homer off, but Herb insists that they listen to his brother. Homer designs a monstrous car with an enormous sticker price, destroying his brother's company and bankrupting Herb. But, driving back to Springfield, Homer is pleased to learn that Bart liked his car.
Bart's Dog Gets an F
Bart's dig, Santa's Little Helper, grows more and more out-of-control. When he destroys Homer's expensive new pair of sneakers, he is enrolled in an obedience school, whose headmistress, Emily Winthrop, is a firm believer in the choke chain. Santa's Little Helper is a poor pupil, and when he destroys a quilt Lisa has sewn while at home with the mumps, and eats a giant cookie Homer bought, Homer vows to give him away. Bart tries desperately to train the dog, and just in the nick of time teaches him to sit and roll over, enabling Santa's Little Helper to graduate from the obedience school.
Old Money
At the Springfield retirement castle, Grampa Simpson gets his pills mixed up with those of an elderly widow, Beatrice Simmons. They hit it off and a romance blooms. But when Grampa plans to spend Bea's birthday with her, the Simpsons come and take him away to a wild animal park, where the animals surround the Simpsons car not letting them out. When they finally return to the retirement home, Bea is dead. A grieving Grampa is surprised to learn that Bea left him $100,000. When the townspeople become aware of this, they show up and Grampa's door begging to have the money for their own purposes. Realizing he doesn't have enough money for all the people who need it, Grampa heads for a casino to bed the hundred grand. Homer stops him, and Grampa realized there is a good use for the money - refurbishing the senior citizen home to make it more liveable for the elderly there.
Brush with Greatness
Watching TV, the kids see Krusty do an ad for Mt. Splashmore, a water-themed amusement park. They nag Homer so much that he finally agrees to take them - only to get stuck in a tube at the park because he is too fat. Publicly humiliated, Homer vows to lose weight. While getting his old dumbbells from the attic, he finds a series of photos Marge painted of Ringo Starr. Lisa urges Marge to go back to art school to nurture her gift and Marge wins a prize for painting Homer in his underwear, on the couch. Mr. Burns, who is looking for a portrait painter, hires her. She can't seem to capture his essence, until she sees Burns make fun of Homer, who's excited he's gotten his weight down to 239. Marge paints Burns as she sees him - a naked, bitter, elderly man. Burns is upset, but when the public reacts favourably, goes along. |
