Krusty agrees to have dinner with the Simpsons to repay Bart for helping exonerate him for armed robbery ("Krusty Gets Busted"). When he keeps cancelling, an upset Bart writes him a letter saying he is no longer his fan. Krusty's secretary is so moved by the letter that she threatens to quit if Krusty does not keep his promise to Bart, so Krusty reluctantly attends. When asked to say grace, Krusty recites a Hebrew blessing. Realizing that Krusty is Jewish, Lisa speaks of his heritage, making him break down in tears.
