Episode Ending
In "Simpsonlar - S12E20: Episode 20," known as "Children of a Lesser Clod," things start off with Homer injuring his knee at a basketball game. This leads him to discover the joys of daytime TV and eventually babysitting. Of course, Homer being Homer, he turns his home into a full-blown daycare center, much to Marge's initial delight. As Homer's daycare becomes more popular, he finds himself nominated for the Good Guy Awards, but Bart and Lisa aren't too pleased with their dad getting all the attention. In classic sibling sabotage style, they decide to expose Homer's true nature by showing a video of him at his worst moments during the awards ceremony. This ultimately ruins his chances for the award. After the chaos at the ceremony, Homer realizes he might have neglected his own kids in the process of being Springfield's favorite babysitter. The episode wraps up with Homer shutting down the daycare and focusing on spending more time with Bart and Lisa. It's a typical day in Springfield, where everything returns to its usual state of dysfunction.
