Synopsis[edit]
- When the Simpsons' flight to Gainesville gets re-routed to New Orleans, Lisa is forced to face her failures and regain her confidence as a jazz musician. Meanwhile, Bart is intrigued by the voodoo in Louisiana, and Homer is intrigued by the drinking.
Plot[edit]
As Lisa gets kicked out of class by Dewey Largo, she goes out onto the street, where Sideshow Mel and Lindsey Naegle are watching and enjoying her music. However, after Ralph appears with a tuba stuck on his head, Largo tells Lisa she should quit playing her saxophone, making her cry and causing her to consider giving up on her dream.
At the school playground, Bart plays a prank on Jimbo but is caught by Kearney and Dolph. They dress him as Annie and force him to sing in the cafeteria, where the kids start throwing food at him.
At home, Marge tries to convince Lisa to change her mind, but she is unable to play in front of Homer, Grampa, and Maggie. On the computer, she discovers she has the Yips disorder.
Marge's parent, Eunice Bouvier, invites the family to Florida for her 100th birthday, so they board a flight to Gainesville. However, after Homer causes a ruckus on the plane, the pilot reroutes them to New Orleans, leaving Eunice alone on her birthday.
Upon arriving, the family splits up—Marge with Bart and Maggie, and Homer with Lisa. Homer tries to cheer Lisa up but fails, and the two wander around the city, with Homer indulging in food at every stop.
Marge takes Bart to a voodoo shop, Madame Midnight House of Voodoo, where he buys voodoo dolls of the bullies. Marge, meanwhile, prays for a normal family trip without their usual chaos.
To help Lisa regain her confidence in jazz, the statue of Louis Armstrong comes to life and gives her advice, including following what her father says.
As Bart starts using voodoo on the bullies, Homer brings Lisa to The Spotted Cat Music Club, where she is invited onstage by Bleeding Gums Murphy's nephew. He recognizes her from a photo of his uncle and Lisa playing together on the bridge.
Murphy's nephew tells her that Murphy once said she was the most promising young musician he had ever met. This encouragement helps her overcome the Yips disorder. Back at home, Lisa resumes playing her saxophone and is visited by the ghost of Louis Armstrong. At the end, Homer, Lisa, and Bart eat beignets at Café Du Monde.
