"Homer Defined" is an upcoming episode of The Simpsons: Springfield Animals television series. It is a remake of Homer Defined.
==Plot==
While eating donuts at the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant, Homer splatters one on the nuclear reactor core's temperature dial. The donut obscures the panel and the plant approaches a nuclear meltdown. Unable to remember his safety training, Homer chooses a button at random with a counting rhyme, which miraculously averts the meltdown. Springfield is saved and Homer is hailed as a hero.
Mr. Burns names Homer "Employee of the Month". Lisa, often embarrassed by her dim-witted dad, starts to worship him as a role model. Homer feels guilty that his so-called heroism was nothing but blind luck. His despair deepens after he receives a congratulatory phone call from Magic Johnson, who tells him frauds are eventually exposed.
Burns introduces Homer to Aristotle Amadopoulos, the owner of the nuclear power plant in neighboring Shelbyville. Burns forces Homer to deliver a motivational speech to the Shelbyville workers. During Homer's fumbling address, an impending meltdown threatens the Shelbyville plant. In the control room, Amadopoulos asks Homer to avert the disaster. Homer repeats his rhyme and blindly presses a button. By sheer luck, he again avoids a meltdown. Amadopoulos thanks Homer for saving the plant but berates him for his stupidity. Soon the phrase to pull a Homer, meaning "to succeed despite idiocy," becomes a widely used catchphrase; its dictionary entry is illustrated by Homer's portrait.
In the subplot, Bart is upset to learn that Milhouse failed to invite him to his birthday party. Milhouse reveals that his mother, Luann, thinks Bart is a bad influence and forbids the boys to be friends. Deprived of his best friend, a depressed Bart resorts to playing with Maggie. Marge visits Luann and persuades her to allow the boys to resume their friendship. Using the Krusty the Clown walkie-talkies Bart gave him for his birthday, Milhouse invites Bart to his house. Realizing no one else would, Bart thanks Marge for standing up for him.
