Dr. Marvin Monroe gives him a take home personality test, which Homer gives Bart to fill out. Homer the next day is sent to the New Bedlam Mental Hospital,where he meets Micheal Jackson (voiced by himself), so he says. Homer, not knowing who Michael Jackson is, believes him. Jackson calls Bart and tells him that Homer is a mental hospital. Marge arrives to get Homer out, and Homer invites Jackson to come home with them. Bart blabs that Michael Jackson is coming to Milhouse, who then blabs it across Springfield.Springfield then resents Bart for a hoax. Lisa disowns Bart as a brother because he forgot her birthday. Michael helps Bart write a song for Lisa as a birthday present (the song is sung by Kipp Lennon). Feeling good about himself, Michael reveals his real identity as Leon Kompowsky.
