Laura Powers is a teenage girl who lives next door to the Simpsons and is the only child of single-parent divorcee Ruth Powers.
After Mr. and Mrs. Winfield moved out of 740 Evergreen Terrace, Ruth and Laura Powers moved in. When Bart and Lisa snuck into the basement of the house to look around, Laura scared Bart, making him fall over. When Bart realized that Laura was beautiful, he wanted to say something clever, but instead said that he fell on his bottom. Marge and Bart later visited the Powers family to welcome them to the neighborhood. Laura politely greeted them at the door, which impressed Marge.
Laura and Bart started hanging out, with Bart asking Laura if she knew various prank techniques. Laura then did a fake palm reading on Bart, telling him that he would be rich in the future before spitting on his hand to symbolize him owning a swimming pool.

The Sea Captain had Homer kicked out by the staff because the restaurant was closing, despite Homer saying that he hadn't had all he could eat yet.
After getting kicked out, Homer decided to take The Frying Dutchman to court. He went to Lionel Hutz of I Can't Believe It's a Law Firm! to get him to represent him in court. The trial of Homer Simpson vs. The Frying Dutchman started, and both sides made their cases: Homer's side saying that he hadn't had all he could eat, and the Sea Captain's side saying that Homer would have eaten the restaurant out of business. However, before the trial ended, the Sea Captain and Homer came to an agreement in which Homer could have all he could eat, but he was used as an attraction for the restaurant under the name of "Bottomless Pete."..
