	Dr. Foster, now having seen that his earlier therapy did not work out, enlists Homer to help Ned learn to appropriately express his emotions, as Homer is the person towards whom Ned harbors particularly resentful feelings. After several flubbed tries with pre-written cards by the doctors, Homer tries his own approach by saying Ned is afraid to be human, because humans hate things but he likes everything. Ned denies this before going off on a tangent and getting worked up over what he hates about the post office. He then casually states that he hates his parents and suddenly feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. Dr. Foster then declares Ned cured. Shortly thereafter, the newly-cured Ned is finally released from Calmwood. Springfield's townspeople (including the rest of the Simpsons and Ned's family), greet him and Ned tells them he is all better now and also lets them know he'll try harder at expressing his feelings, and, a tad too seriously, letting them know that when he is really angry, "I'm gonna run you down with my car" with Dr. Foster telling Ned that is being healthy. Everything then returns to normal with Homer playfully telling Ned he's crazy before Ned winks.

 [[Homer]] lazily enjoys his latest mid-afternoon nap outside when the winds begin to pick up. [[Lisa]] consults her weather instruments and a question-and-answer book and finds out [[Hurricane Barbara|a hurricane]] will soon strike [[Springfield]]. Panicked residents quickly gather supplies and food at the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], but [[Ned]] remains calm as the main storm approaches, having fitted his home with a large tent-like guard to keep it hunkered down. As the bad weather hits, and various hurricane-related gags play out throughout Springfield, the Simpsons do their best at family bonding in the basement. The storm finally passes, and everyone is overjoyed that the hurricane caused absolutely no damage to their home or anyone else's. However, only the [[Flanders family]], next door, has suffered serious trouble as they are not so lucky. Their house, despite their precautions, is the only one to be destroyed. Ned emerges from the rubble as he tries to find his family.
-Ned is relieved that his family has escaped serious injury, but, as he does not have homeowners insurance (having considered insurance "gambling"). Now homeless, the Flanders family is forced to move into the church basement. There, Ned watches news accounts of the storm's aftermath, and is further discouraged when footage is shown of his business, the [[Leftorium]], being cleaned out by looters. Seeking answers from [[God]], [[Maude]] and [[Timothy Lovejoy, Jr.|Rev. Lovejoy]] attempt to reassure Ned things will work out fine. He tries to find solace in the Bible, but all he gets is a paper cut. He tries asking God directly why he's being punished when he's done everything the Bible said (even the stuff that contradicts the other stuff) but gets no answer.

 Fearing he has lost his mind and on the verge of a mental breakdown following his violent breakdown in front of everybody and leaving his family behind with Maude becoming worried and horrified at her husband's violent outburst at everybody, Ned checks himself into the [[Calmwood Mental Hospital]] to seek therapy. A senior nurse recognizes his name and, panicked, calls Ned's childhood psychiatrist, [[Dr. Foster]], who reminds Ned that – because his irresponsible beatnik parents, who are the polar opposite of their son in every imaginable way, did not believe in discipline – he was actually a rambunctious, out-of-control child, which Ned had completely forgotten following counseling. That therapy, called the [[University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol]], involved eight months of continuous spanking. Although it reformed Ned from his bratty behavior, it caused his behavior to become extreme in the opposite direction, i.e. unable to express anger, which resulted in his trademark nonsensical jabbering at moments when he was particularly close to losing his temper. This caused Ned to repress his anger until it built up inside him and erupted in his tirade, which led to his returning to Calmwood.
-Dr. Foster, now having seen that his earlier therapy did not work out, enlists Homer to help Ned learn to appropriately express his emotions, as Homer is the person towards whom Ned harbors particularly resentful feelings. After several flubbed tries with pre-written cards by the doctors, Homer tries his own approach by saying Ned is afraid to be human, because humans hate things but he likes everything. Ned denies this before going off on a tangent and getting worked up over what he hates about the post office. He then casually states that he hates his parents and suddenly feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. Dr. Foster then declares Ned cured. Shortly thereafter, the newly-cured Ned is finally released from Calmwood. Springfield's townspeople (including the rest of the Simpsons and Ned's family), greet him and Ned tells them he is all better now and also lets them know he'll try harder at expressing his feelings, and, a tad too seriously, letting them know that when he is really angry, "I'm gonna run you down with my car". Everything then returns to normal and Homer tells Ned he's crazy before Ned winks.

This caused Ned to repress his anger until it built up inside him and erupted in his tirade, which led to his returning to Calmwood.
+Fearing he has lost his mind and on the verge of a mental breakdown following his violent breakdown in front of everybody and leaving his family behind, Ned checks himself into the [[Calmwood Mental Hospital]] to seek therapy. A senior nurse recognizes his name and, panicked, calls Ned's childhood psychiatrist, [[Dr. Foster]], who reminds Ned that – because his irresponsible beatnik parents, who are the polar opposite of their son in every imaginable way, did not believe in discipline – he was actually a rambunctious, out-of-control child, which Ned had completely forgotten following counseling. That therapy, called the [[University of Minnesota Spankalogical Protocol]], involved eight months of continuous spanking. Although it reformed Ned from his bratty behavior, it caused his behavior to become extreme in the opposite direction, i.e. unable to express anger, which resulted in his trademark nonsensical jabbering at moments when he was particularly close to losing his temper. This caused Ned to repress his anger until it built up inside him and erupted in his tirade, which led to his returning to Calmwood.
-Dr. Foster, now having seen that his earlier therapy did not work out, enlists Homer to help Ned learn to appropriately express his emotions, as Homer is the person towards whom Ned harbors particularly resentful feelings. After several flubbed tries with pre-written cards by the doctors, Homer tries his own approach by saying Ned is afraid to be human, because humans hate things but he likes everything. Ned denies this before going off on a tangent and getting worked up over what he hates about the post office. He then casually states that he hates his parents and suddenly feels like a weight has been lifted from his shoulders. Dr. Foster then declares Ned cured. Shortly thereafter, Ned is released from Calmwood. Springfield's townspeople (including the rest of the Simpsons and Ned's family), greet him and he tells them he is all better now and also lets them know he'll try harder at expressing his feelings, and, a tad too seriously, letting them know that when he is really angry, "I'm gonna run you down with my car". Everything then returns to normal and Homer tells Ned he's crazy and both laugh before Ned winks.
