Bart gets a temporary tattoo that says "Bad to the Bone", while Lisa finds a sunhat. Lisa tries the sunhat on and imagines herself riding a flying unicorn and making the world a better place. She buys the hat, which she affectionately names "[[Sunny]]". Back at the ocean, Bart tries swimming with his new temporary tattoo on, but it immediately washes off, causing him to start sobbing.

When the family is going home, the school bullies compliment Lisa's hat and tease Bart, with Bart then getting attacked by a seagull in an attempt to prove that he's "bad to the bone."

Bart takes her hat and throws it out the window and into the scrapyard next door, with the hat landing on a car. That night, while Bart is trying to sleep, [[Bart's guilt|his guilt]] manifests, although Bart is adamant that he doesn't feel guilty about throwing away Lisa's hat.

However, nothing he gives her works as Lisa says that she has a wound that nothing will heal. At [[Barney's Bowlarama]], Moe reveals to Homer that the reason he is so good at chess is that chess represents his desire to kill his father, which Homer realizes is right. Meanwhile, Bart arrives at the scrapyard again just as the car that Sunny fell on is getting crushed into a cube.

He gets [[Rod]] and [[Todd]] to help, using the power of miracles to lift the cube, but that does not work. Bart then figures out that [[Buzz Cola]] dissolves the metal of the cube. Bart has Rod and Todd lift the cube into a pool of Buzz Cola, which dissolves enough of the car to get Sunny out. Meanwhile, Homer goes to the [[Springfield Retirement Castle]] to challenge his father to a chess game. Many people watch a live feed of the game at Moe's Tavern.

At [[Barney's Bowlarama]], Moe reveals to Homer that chess represents his desire to kill his father, while Bart tries to retrieve the hat.

Lisa starts crying and she and Bart make up as Lisa finally forgives Bart. Bart's guilt then flies into the sky, hits a plane, and crashes into the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]]'s cooling towers.

Plot

Bart and Lisa tell the story of a time when they didn't get along. At Springfield Bay, Mayor Quimby declares the beach is open again as the sea is now safe to swim in, but only because they lowered the safety standards. Seeing this on television, Homer decides that the family will go on a trip to the beach. At the beach, the family goes to Sunblock Sam's to buy some supplies. Bart gets a temporary tattoo that says "Bad to the Bone", while Lisa finds a sunhat. Lisa tries the sunhat on and imagines herself riding a flying unicorn and making the world a better place. She buys the hat, which she affectionately names "Sunny". Back at the ocean, Bart tries swimming with his new temporary tattoo on, but it immediately washes off, causing him to start sobbing. Marge takes Homer away from the women playing volleyball and over to the chess tables. There, Homer plays a game against Jasper and beats him, which surprises the family. Homer reveals that as a child, he used to play chess against Grampa, who would always beat him and laugh.

When the family is going home, the school bullies compliment Lisa's hat and tease Bart, with Bart then getting attacked by a seagull in an attempt to prove that he's "bad to the bone."
