- "I'm gonna lock you up till frogs do fractions!"
- ―Judge Constance Harm
"The Parent Rap" is the second episode of Season 13. It aired on November 11, 2001. The episode was written by George Meyer and Mike Scully while Mark Kirkland directed. Jane Kaczmarek and Jess Hanell guest starred in the episode. Judge Constance Harm is introduced in this episode.
Bart appears in court to pay for an embarrassing joy ride in the police chief's patrol car. But just before he is set free, a second, vindictive judge named Constance Harm assumes the case and sentences him to the worst kind of detention imagineable: being tethered to Homer around the clock.
Plot
Abandoned by a prize seeking Homer, Milhouse and Bart go for an unintentional joyride in Chief Wiggum's squad car. In juvenile court, Milhouse gets his case dismissed. When Bart goes up before Judge Snyder, he is just about to get out of it when the judge's vacation starts. The replacement judge isn't a pushover, and citing Homer's negligence she orders that Bart and Homer be tethered together.
The pair attend school, work and Moe's together and begin bonding. Frustrated by the whole situation Marge cuts the tether and is caught. Judge Harm decides that both Bart's parents are unfit, so she has Homer and Marge put into stocks and put on public display. Homer and Marge break free and retaliate, only to get caught. When brought before Judge Harm again, they are about to have the book thrown at them when Judge Snyder returns from vacation. He declares that boys will be boys and dismisses the case.
