simpsons episode where lisa has an eating disorder
Sleeping with the Enemy (The Simpsons)
Late one night , Nelson is singing about his long lost father , while Lisa , unable to take any more starvation , eats an entire Labor Day cake that was baked especially for Lenny . The next day , Nelson helps Lisa get back at Sherri and Terri for teasing her . Nelson unleashes a skunk , which sprays both of them , while Lisa and the rest of the children point and sing a modified version of Jingle Bells . Both twins are horrified and run off screaming . When Lisa and Nelson return home , they find Nelson 's father , who Bart found working at a freak show in a circus . It turns out that Nelson 's dad had really gone to the Kwik - E-Mart ( which Nelson has repeatedly stated previously in the series ) , where he had gotten a severe allergic reaction from eating a chocolate bar full of peanuts . Coincidentally , the circus had made a stop in the Kwik - E-Mart parking lot , and the unscrupulous ringmaster noted the peanut matter and kept him as a forced freak for his traveling show . Nelson 's mother finally returns , after going to Hollywood and getting the lead role in Macbeth , playing Lady Macbeth . At the conclusion of this episode , Nelson appreciates what Bart did but says in an oddly kindly tone that this wo n't prevent him from beating Bart up in the future . Hearing this , Homer tries to get Lisa to say she conquered her body image issues , but Lisa says that it 's a `` very open - ended problem '' and ( like many women and girls in real life ) she will never be content with her body image . Homer tries to goad Lisa into changing her mind and giving him comfort in resolution , but she refuses to do so .
