Homer drives to Lisa's school and picks her up because he needs her help. Lisa shows Homer how he should do his job so he can get a big promotion under a few hours before Smithers comes to Homer's office and asks what Lisa is doing there. Homer says that Lisa is interested in working here before and after school every day unpaid. Smithers likes this idea and tells Lisa that she is exactly the kind that gets people promoted. Lisa is now beginning work on the plant after and before school to promote Homer. A couple of weeks later, Lisa has a lot of homework to do and tells Bart that work has taken over her life but the promotional means so much, so she does not know what to do.

Bart has a plan and tells it to Lisa. The next morning Lisa goes to the power plant early, and when Homer gets there she says she has taken a part-time janitor job or something until she is eighteen, when she will take Homer's job. Homer tells Lisa that she can get a better job, but she does not listen to him and says that the power plant is her true calling before she goes to take a half-hour break. A half-hour later, Lisa looks in Homer's workspace and sees that he is sitting in his underwear and his office is a mess again. Lisa tells him that if Mr. Burns sees this he will never get the promotion, and Homer tells Lisa that that's the plan. Mr. Burns then enters his room and sees what a mess Homer has made. Homer tells Burns that it's "free day", the day of the week when he can do whatever he wants in his office. Burns and Smithers don't like what they see and tell him that he will not be promoted to director of station organization. Homer is surprised that they wanted to put him in charge of cleaning offices. Lisa realizes that sabotaging his promotion really was the best thing for Homer, to which Homer replies that it was the best thing for her, because she is eight and daddy cannot let her drop out of school just to help him move up the food chain, and if he ever has a chance to get a promotion, he wants to do it his own way. Homer asks Lisa to go back to school so she can be anything her old man ever dreamed of. Homer and Lisa drive to school, and she asks him to put on some clothes but he says he will do it later, because he does not want to give anyone around here any ideas about him being someone he is not.

Lisa starts to tidy it up, but when Burns and Smithers arrive, the workstation is still a mess. Burns and Smithers tell Homer that he will not be getting the promotion to Director of Station Organization, which would put him in charge of cleaning offices. When Homer finds out that was the promotion, he is relieved not to be getting it. Homer tells Lisa that she cannot drop out of school just to help him and that if he wants a real promotion, he will have to put the work in himself. Homer and Lisa leave so Lisa can go back to school, although Homer refuses to put his clothes back on.

Plot[edit]

Lisa's class is on a field trip to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Lisa sneaks away to clean up Homer's workstation to make it less embarrassing for her class to see. She finds that it is in an awful state and cleans it up while Homer is away. When Homer comes back, he is shocked to see Lisa there. When Lisa's class arrives at Sector 7-G, Mr. Burns is surprised by how tidy the workstation is. He tells Homer to go to his office the following morning to discuss his future.

The next day, Homer goes to meet with Mr. Burns. Burns goes through his employee record and decides that it cannot possibly be for the same employee. He tells Homer that if the level of his work rises to the level of his organizational skills, there will be a big promotion for him. Homer goes back to his workstation but realizes that he needs Lisa to clean it for him again. He goes to Springfield Elementary School to take Lisa out of school to clean his workstation, annoying Lisa. She reluctantly agrees to tidy it up again before Homer takes her back to school. When Waylon Smithers notices that Lisa is at the Power Plant again, he questions Homer about her being there.
