Synopsis[edit]
- Lisa's attempt to make Homer's workstation more presentable for her class to see during a school trip leads to Homer being in line for a big promotion. However, when he starts bringing Lisa in to keep cleaning his workstation, she hates it and wants out.
Plot[edit]
Lisa's class is on a field trip to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant. Lisa sneaks away to clean up Homer's workstation to make it less embarrassing for her class to see. She finds that it is in an awful state and cleans it up while Homer is away. When Homer comes back, he is shocked to see Lisa there. When Lisa's class arrives at Sector 7-G, Mr. Burns is surprised by how tidy the workstation is. He tells Homer to go to his office the following morning to discuss his future. Burns then takes the class on the rest of the tour.
The next day, Homer goes to meet with Mr. Burns. Burns goes through his employee record and decides that it cannot possibly be for the same employee. He tells Homer that if the level of his work rises to the level of his organizational skills, there will be a big promotion for him. Homer goes back to his workstation but realizes that he needs Lisa to clean it for him again. He goes to Springfield Elementary School to take Lisa out of school to clean his workstation, annoying Lisa. She reluctantly agrees to tidy it up again before Homer takes her back to school. When Waylon Smithers notices that Lisa is at the Power Plant again, he questions Homer about her being there. Homer tells Smithers that Lisa has a crush on Smithers and that she wants to be an intern working before and after school. Smithers accepts Lisa as an unpaid intern, despite Lisa's reluctance.
A couple of weeks go by, and Lisa is tired from working at the Power Plant on top of her schoolwork. She stops eating with the family, instead having small snacks so she has time to do her homework. Bart realizes that Lisa does not want the internship and comes up with a plan to get her out of it. The next morning, Homer finds that Lisa has left early to go to the Power Plant. When he arrives there, he finds that Lisa is starting work as a janitor for the whole Power Plant, saying that she wants to follow in her father's footsteps. Homer thinks that Lisa can be so much more than him, but Lisa says that she does not want that. Lisa goes on her break with Lenny and Carl, and when she gets back, she finds Homer in his underpants with his workstation a complete mess again. Lisa starts to tidy it up, but when Burns and Smithers arrive, the workstation is still a mess. Burns and Smithers tell Homer that he will not be getting the promotion to Director of Station Organization, which would put him in charge of cleaning offices. When Homer finds out that was the promotion, he is relieved not to be getting it. Homer tells Lisa that she cannot drop out of school just to help him and that if he wants a real promotion, he will have to put the work in himself. Homer and Lisa leave so Lisa can go back to school, although Homer refuses to put his clothes back on.
