The entire town showed up to see Michael Jackson, only to learn it was fake. Bart became hated in the town, and Lisa hated him too for forgetting about her birthday. Kompowsky decided to set things right and helped Bart write a special birthday song for Lisa. In the end, his work was done, so Kompowsky dropped the Jackson charade and started talking in his normal voice, citing his reasons for doing the voice was a result of anger and he felt respected when he did the Jackson impersonation, he then cited his work at the Simpson home was done prior to leaving.[1]
