Synopsis[edit]
- Lisa and Homer's bond grows stronger when they start spending real quality time together, and she begins to see him in a similar light to Atticus Finch. This causes Bart to feel neglected, so Marge tries to help Homer balance his attention between the kids.
Plot[edit]
At the second grade play at the school, Ralph plays broccoli and fails to remember that his color is green, saying purple instead. Llewellyn Sinclair then moves on to Nelson's depiction of veal, with him shooting a cow in the head using a captive-bolt gun. Lisa barges in, dressed as a pork chop, and protests the scene. Chalmers proclaims the show is over, and Sinclair removes the props, burning his hand in the process.
Outside, Lisa is stuck in her costume, which she hates. Marge nudges Homer to cheer her up. The next day, Homer mistakes the weather numbers for lottery numbers. Marge suggests he do something with Lisa, so he takes her to the Springfield Mall, where he protects her dignity. She begins to see him as Atticus Finch, the main character of the novel she's reading, To Kill a Mockingbird.
At home, they watch the movie adaptation of the novel when Bart and Milhouse change the channel to The Itchy & Scratchy Show. Lisa tells Homer he is her hero, prompting Bart to ask Maggie if he is her hero—she does not respond, and he gets punched in the face by Grampa.
Lisa then recounts how Homer took her to the Springfield Science Museum and speaks highly of him at school. Bart, unhappy with their newfound bond, seeks help from Dr. Jessup.
At Shauna's bat mitzvah, Bart switches all the car keys, causing chaos when guests leave. Milhouse dumps a trash bin on him, but Homer, acting like Atticus, defuses the mob.
Lisa and Bart fight over Homer, so Marge visits Dr. Jessup for help as Lisa's idolization of Homer creates tension in the family. Eventually, Lisa moves on from that phase, but Maggie comforts Homer.
