Brother from the Same Planet

"Brother from the Same Planet" is an episode of The Simpsons from the fourth season.

Synopsis
After playing soccer, Bart waits for Homer to pick him up. However, Homer forgets, and Bart is left alone as a storm approaches. Many occurrences at home remind Homer that he was meant to do something, but he cannot recall what. When Homer finally remembers after a dream about seeing Bart's skeleton on a soccer field, he rushes out to pick up Bart (who's is very angry) and tries to put the issue behind them, but Bart isn't buying.

When they return home, Bart watches TV when the Big Brothers commercial comes up. This gives him an idea and he goes to the Big Brothers Agency disguising himself with accent as a brave young boy whose father left him six years ago. Afterwards, Bart is assigned a big brother called Tom whom Bart first meets when he comes to school to pick Bart up by letting him ride on the back of his motorcycle. Later on, Bart and Tom meet up for Tomato Day at the Springfield Stadium. Afterwards, they go to lift weights and watch Ren and Stimpy. Eventually, Homer finds out about Bart's Big Brother, angrily confronts him about the issue, and goes to the Big Brothers Agency where he is assigned the child Pepi (whom he calls Pepsi for a brief period) for revenge. Homer shows Pepi the garage door, "a wonder of modern technology" and then the two look at the stars together.

Meanwhile back at the Simpsons household, Marge finds a $378.53 phone bill for calls made to the Corey hotline. Because of this, Marge headed up to talk to Lisa who was hiding in her room, as the entrance was decorated with a Corey poster. Marge tells Lisa that she understands what she was going through and that when she was a girl she had a crush on Bobby Sherman, which causes Lisa to laugh uproariously. Even so, in the end Lisa agrees to never make anymore calls. However, Lisa continues to make the calls until eventually she stops after taking Marge's advice in that if she could make it until 12 o'clock without calling, she would have conquered her addiction.

Elsewhere, Homer takes Pepi and Tom takes Bart to Marine World to attend Big Brothers Day. There, Homer meets up with Tom and the two fight because Tom was angry after hearing Bart's stories about his father being a gambling drunk. In the end, Homer ends up in a stretcher leaving Tom without a child to take care of and Pepi without a Big Brother. Seeing this, Bart makes an obvious conclusion, telling them that Tom should become Pepi's big brother. At that rate, Tom and Pepi agrees and start on hanging out with each other. Afterwards, Bart and Homer reconcile and the episode ends with them sitting on the couch.
