Marge appeals in Family Court (with Judge Constance Harm hearing the case) to get the restraining order removed. This act of abuse is the final straw for Marge, as Lisa has completely ruined a bonding moment between her and Bart and was practically tearing apart the entire family overall. Bart, knowing that he'll never win because of the threat of law involvement leaves the kitchen. She neglects his reasonable request by deliberately knocking the glass over. For the first time, Bart shows clear signs of irritation and asks her if she could just let him finish his glass of milk. Two weeks into the order, Bart finally starts to get fed up with the near constant abuse from his sister as she never allows him to fully relax and he finally begins to snap while sitting in the kitchen with Marge having a conversation.In the midst of talk, Lisa once again goes out of her way to make him miserable by roughly jabbing him in the arm. (All of this occurring with Lisa looking at him from a distance with a smirk on her face.) Groundskeeper Willie becomes Bart's mentor later on, which proves difficult due to the shack Willie lives in being unsanitary and the Scotsman's threatening anyone who would try to correct him. At school, the order means that Bart can't even enter the school and he is forced to sit outside in the rain. In their usual commute to school, Bart has to ride in a shopping cart that has been crudely tied to the back of the bus. It gets so bad that Bart actually ends up with severe tissue damage in his arm from where she jabbed him. Lisa, however, starts abusing the power of the restraining order and follows him wherever he goes (which in real life would result in the order being removed) and smiling while she repeatedly jabs him with the screwdriver. To make the restraining order more fun, Homer makes a 20 foot pole that can be used to warn Bart when he's less than 20 feet from Lisa and needs to move away (stupidly using and old screwdriver as the tip). The film tells the story of a man who was in love with a women he did things to get her to like him, but he made the situation worse to the point where he showed up at a funeral for a relative so she got a restraining order against him. Wiggum shows the family a Gary Busey-hosted videotape, " Get Out of My Dreams and Also Out of My Car: A Guide to Your Restraining Order", which teaches Bart how to live with a restraining order. He is to follow the order or he will face more legal consequences. At first Bart doesn't listen, but after a test run of him getting thrown in jail for violation, he does. Under the order, according to Chief Wiggum, Bart must remain twenty feet away from Lisa at all times. The next day, Lisa is still upset with Bart and gets a restraining order filed against him. Homer is pleased with the offer, due to the low expectations, and takes the job. Homer proves to be a success as a people greeter, prompting the manager to offer Homer a full-time position without any chance of advancement. Grampa gets hurt, loses his people-greeting abilities and asks Homer to take over for him as the people greeter. Meanwhile, Homer and Marge go shopping at the Sprawl-Mart and find Grampa working there as a greeter. Lisa's pleas go unheard, however, as the students are instead laughing hysterically at Bart's prank (which involves sending farting noises over a walkie-talkie while Lisa tries to talk). Bart, for his part, plays a practical joke on her as she desperately asks the students to save the glacier. She tries to raise the other students's consciousnesses about global warming, but they ignore her and a ranger tries to shut her up. Unfortunately, the glacier has melted almost completely away, and Lisa blames the melt on global warming. The students of Springfield Elementary School take a field trip to the Springfield Glacier at 3:00am. Lisa becomes fed up with Bart's teasing and takes out a restraining order against him, while Homer takes a job as a Sprawl-Mart employee.
