Phoebe Pratt is a retired nature photographer.
History
When Bart was getting paid to be a fake grandson for elderly women, Phoebe employed Bart to get her out of Sunnyday Nursing Home four days in a row as a family member needs to sign a patient out of the home. She wanted to go to the woods across the road to photograph nature there. She and Bart struck up a friendship and when the four days were over, Bart refused to take the money from her as he felt bad about it.
Bart went to see Phoebe the next day but found out that she had already left, having told the receptionist that Bart was waiting for her outside. Bart then realized that Phoebe had used him in order to get out of the home alone in order to take her own life. Bart went to Homer and Lisa for help and they gathered up Peekimon Get players to help find Phoebe before she did anything drastic.
The squeaky-voiced teen found her lying in the grass. Bart ran up to her, scared that she was dead, but Phoebe was only sleeping. She admitted to Bart that she had some dark thoughts, but when she got out, she felt free in nature and realized she had so much to live for. Bart asked Phoebe if they could still hike together sometimes and Phoebe told him that they can.[1]
In a coma dream that Bart had, Phoebe Pratt was on the wall of Ned Flanders' dead wives.[2]
Behind the Laughter
