Story
Due to a series of bad luck, Homer is seriously depressed, and Lisa decides to cheer him up. She buys a school lottery ticket and gives it to Homer, he wins the MyPad tablet (a parody of the iPad ). Homer is keen on him, but drops and breaks him. Homer is again upset, and here Ned Flanders discovers that on the tree in the Simpsons yard, the word “Hope” is written in tree sap. Everyone, especially Homer, considers this a miracle. However, Kent Brockman , intending to find out the truth and destroy everyone's hopes, finds a video showing that someone writes the word “Hope” on a tree with maple syrup. Homer is sad, but Marge convinces him that if someone wrote a message on a tree, then it was for him. Homer calms down. At night, it turns out that it was he who wrote the word on the tree, walking in a dream.
The episode ends with a strange plot that is not related to the content of the series: to the song in the motif of a serenade, the toy elf seeks the love of the doll Malibu Stacy, saving her from the formidable Battery-powered Laughter.
