Homer receives a large sum of money when Squeaky Voiced Teen accidentally throws hot onion rings on him in the Gulp N’ Blow drive-thru.
Eventually, however, Lisa finds enjoyment in gambling her college fund to other citizens in Springfield, increasing the amount of money with every win.
The two go to Spiro's and talk to the manager, who points them to the direction of Rita LaFleur, a singer who worked alongside Grampa.
The relationship ended, however, when Homer was badly injured in a car accident and Grampa stayed behind to take care of him instead of accompanying Rita to Europe for a music tour the two had been planning together.
Grampa refuses to go back to the retirement home, but changes his mind when Homer promises that the family will visit him more frequently.
In March 2012, Entertainment Weekly reported that Jennifer Tilly, former wife of co-developer Sam Simon, was cast as herself appearing in a poker instructional DVD.
