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. Bart decided that he would never wash his hand again, which grossed Lisa out. When Homer wanted to go to an all-you-can-eat buffet at The Frying Dutchman, Bart suggested that Laura could babysit them. Bart took a bath and donned a jacket and pipe, à la Hugh Hefner, in an attempt to impress Laura. Laura and the kids ordered food from Two Guys from Kabul before Laura taught them how to waltz.

The Frying Dutchman is a seafood restaurant in Springfield. It is owned by Captain Horatio McCallister.
The grand opening of The Frying Dutchman was advertised on television, with the Sea Captain boasting an all-you-can-eat buffet. Homer saw the advertisement and decided he wanted to eat there, despite Marge being allergic to seafood. On the day of the grand opening, Homer ordered the buffet and then immediately took one of the steam trays of food back to his table. Homer continued to eat throughout the evening until the restaurant closed. 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."..
