Synopsis[edit]
- After a trip to Aquatraz Water Park, Lisa becomes determined to set free Springfield's most vicious animals in captivity. Meanwhile, Homer fulfills a lifelong dream of buying a boat and quickly realizes boat ownership is very expensive.
Plot[edit]
The Simpson family visits the Aquatraz Water Park, where Lisa notices how unhappy the animals are behind glass, including a penguin funeral, while Homer sees how much fun boat owners have and remembers how much he wanted one as a kid while fishing with his father.
A boat salesman notices Homer watching the boats and convinces him to buy one. Bart, Lisa, and Willie return to the water park to free the whale trapped in it, with Bart finally understanding altruism and enjoying it. Homer takes the family on a ride on his boat, the Something's Fishy, and even Marge agrees it was a good idea to buy it.
The next rider on the boat is Grampa, but when they return to the pier, the boat starts sinking. Raphael offers his help as a mechanic, while Bart shares a plan with Milhouse to free other animals in his newfound spirit of altruism.
Homer offers Lenny and Carl the chance to share the boat and the repair expenses. Bart and Milhouse go to the Springfield Zoo and free a gorilla, Lolo, but it goes on a rampage while Milhouse gets caught by two tigers.
Bart calls Lisa for help since the police are useless at capturing it. Homer starts co-owning the boat with even more people, and the boat sinks due to the weight. The gorilla rampages at the Springfield Elementary School, and Lisa stops him using Seinfeld to calm him down.
Lisa brings Lolo home to help him return to a life of freedom, then brings him to Dr. Goodall at the Pennsylvania Ape Reserve, where he'll be loved. At Moe's Tavern, it somehow ends well when Homer convinces the co-owners they are as good as someone who owns a boat because they owned one for five minutes.
