 At the first match, the team wins, and Homer asks how Kirk pulled it off. Kirk shares how he was a star player on his college lacrosse team but broke his wrist while high-fiving the mascot—a guy in armor. The next day, the team prepares for a tournament in another town, and during the trip, Homer starts to feel that he and Kirk are getting too close.
-After a match, Kirk tries to take Homer to a strip club. Homer wants to tell him he doesn’t want to hang out anymore, but for the sake of the kids’ happiness, he holds back and just goes to sleep.
