The Simpsons and the Bouviers come over for Thanksgiving dinner, and Lisa unveils a handmade centrepiece to everyone. When Bart brings in the turkey, he throws the centrepiece onto the fire, and he gets into trouble with the whole family. Annoyed, he runs away, and ends up at a homeless shelter offering Thanksgiving food. He appears on TV, returns home, but sits on the roof until he hears Lisa’s crying through the vent.
