Synopsis
- "When Homer loses $5,000 at a poker game with Broadway legend Laney Fontaine, the only way he is able to settle the bet is if he loans Lisa to Laney for a month. Then, Laney turns Lisa into a show biz kid and Marge and Homer fear they made a mistake letting her go. So they head to New York to get her back."
Plot
Homer, Moe, Lenny, Carl, and Barney prepare for poker night at Moe's bar. On his way out, Homer promises Lisa that if he wins, he’ll pay for her time at the best Band Camp on their side of the Mississippi. But Homer loses everything to Broadway legend Laney Fontaine, who now dates Moe because of his liquor license.
Trying to convince Laney to give his money back, Homer invites her to dinner, only to show her how miserable they are. Lisa asks her to sing a song while she plays the saxophone. That’s when Laney realizes that Lisa has a lot of talent and could become a famous show biz kid. She asks Marge to let Lisa perform on her shows for a month.
Marge angrily refuses, but Lisa convinces her to let her go, with a little help from Grampa, saying this might be the only opportunity to live her dreams. Laney takes Lisa to New York, where they meet Chazz Busby, Lisa’s former ballet teacher. She easily passes the audition and joins one of the Broadway shows. Later, during a Skype conversation, Marge realizes that Lisa isn’t in a good place and decides to take the family to New York to bring her back.
On their way to the Big Apple, the family encounters Ned's cousin, Jacob, and learns that Ned has brought shame to their family. In New York City, The Simpsons realize how happy Lisa is to be part of a Broadway show, and they decide to go back to Springfield without her. That’s when Laney sees that Lisa could easily overshadow her in the shows, meaning they could never share the same stage again. This makes Lisa sad, and suddenly, she wants to go back home with her family.
In the end, Homer takes Ned’s cousin to 744 Evergreen Terrace, where Jacob makes Ned realize that he’s guilty of pride, and both cousins reconcile by hugging Homer.
