After seeing [[Ned Flanders]] reject an offer to get an illegal cable hook-up, [[Homer]] chases after the cable man and wants to be hooked up for free. He likes the new channels he gets, which the family watches with him. [[Lisa]], however, feels suspicious. Following a Sunday School lesson regarding the existence and nature of [[Hell]], Lisa becomes terrified of violations of The 10 Commandments, the adherence to which she is assured will keep one's soul safe from Hell. She fears that because Homer violated the Eighth Commandment (though "Thou Shalt Not Steal" is listed as the ''Seventh'' Commandment in Catholicism and Lutheranism), he will go to Hell when he dies. She additionally opposes other examples of common and harmless thievery, including her [[Marge|mother's]] tasting of grapes in a grocery store which she has not paid for. Lisa pays a visit to Reverend Lovejoy at church, where he suggests that Lisa cannot turn her father into the police (as she must Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother), and instead encourages Lisa to not watch anything on Homer's cable hook-up, setting a good example.

Synopsis

After seeing Ned Flanders reject an offer to get an illegal cable hook-up, Homer chases after the cable man and wants to be hooked up for free. He likes the new channels he gets, which the family watches with him. Lisa, however, feels suspicious. Following a Sunday School lesson regarding the existence and nature of Hell, Lisa becomes terrified of violations of Ten Commandments, the adherence to which she is assured will keep one's soul safe from Hell. She fears that because Homer violated the Eighth Commandment (thus "Thou Shalt Not Steal" according to the division by the Anglican and Reformed Churches), he will go to Hell when he dies. She additionally opposes other examples of common and harmless thievery, including her mother's tasting of grapes in a grocery store which she has not paid for. Lisa pays a visit to Reverend Lovejoy at church, where he suggests that Lisa cannot turn her father into the police (as she must Honour Thy Father and Thy Mother), and instead encourages Lisa to not watch anything on Homer's cable hook-up, setting a good example.
