During a school trip Bart notices a change in Milhouse's behavior, he is now far more aggressive. He tell him it is because he is moving to Capital City.

Meanwhile Apu and Manjula are celebrating their anniversary and Homer realizes he does not have anything for Marge for their anniversary.

Bart becomes depressed without Milhouse and after a visit to Capital City realizes that Milhouse doesn't care about him anymore. Marge suggests he spend more time with Lisa. The two begin to bond by discovering an indian burial mound together, and they become best friends.

Homer finds he can make money by begging and eventually makes enough to buy Marge a pair of diamond earrings. Although Marge likes the earrings, she is mortified when she find out where he got the money for them but can not bring herself to throw them away.

Milhouse returns to Springfield when his father gets a court order for him to have his custody. Lisa feels that Bart is acting like their friendship never existed and that he has been using her to fill a void. Bart however shows her that he still values her as a sister by giving her a set of cards with nice things he will do for her on them.
