About the episode
With Marge busy having the joke-shop novelties Bart glued to his face removed, Lisa talks Homer into letting her ride the bus alone to see the Orb of Isis at the Springsonian Museum. She boards the wrong route and ends up lost across town while Homer frantically searches. Reunited, they sneak into the closed museum and learn the orb is really a music box.
