In this episode, Lisa encounters a homeless woman who is musically talented and arranges a concert for her while Homer does a poor job of fixing things around the house.
He succeeds with the help of an online tutorial, but soon realizes that he has trapped the family cat Snowball II inside the floor.
Bart knocks Milhouse off, but he loses control of the sled and hits the shopping cart of a homeless woman named Hettie Mae Boggs, throwing it and all of her things into a frozen river.
They also discover Hettie's incredible talent for music, so Lisa invites her to stay in her closet and helps her record her songs.
Much to Lisa's shock, Hettie reveals during the interview that she is a heroin addict who has a propensity for shooting people in the face if she does not get the drug.
During the credits, Hettie is shown playing in a rehab clinic as the interns and fellow patients escape to Moe's Tavern through a secret tunnel.
In an interview in June 2015, executive producer Al Jean said that Kate McKinnon would guest star in an episode as a homeless woman with musician Natalie Maines providing her singing voice.
Lisa's imagination during Hettie's first song shows Apu and two of his children in the same pose as Migrant Mother by Dorothea Lange.
Club gave the episode a B+ stating, "For all the griping about The Simpsons overstaying its welcome, it doesn’t take much for the show to win back viewers’ trust and affection.
