The Egyptian Treasures exhibit was only in Springfield for one more day, and Lisa Simpson wasn’t about to let a little thing like "lack of transportation" stop her. After a series of tactical maneuvers—and a very questionable permission slip—she found herself standing at the corner of 5th and Main, staring at a bus that definitely did not go to the museum.

Meanwhile, back at the power plant, Homer felt a sudden, inexplicable "Dad-sense" tingling—or perhaps it was just the half-eaten donut in his pocket. When he realized Lisa hadn't returned, he didn't call the police; he grabbed a cherry picker.

With a leap of faith, Lisa tumbled into the safety of the cherry picker. But the museum was closing in ten minutes. "Dad, I failed," she sighed. "I just wanted to see the Orb of Isis."
