It appears to Principal Skinner that Bart and Lisa are the subject of neglect. Skinner calls Child Welfare, and the kids are taken into foster care by the Flanders'. Homer and Marge plead the case with the court. The judge orders them to take course in child welfare, to get their children back. Flanders discovers that Bart, Lisa and Maggie haven't been baptized and tries to get Rev. Lovejoy to perform it, but he wont, so Flanders goes to do it himself.
