It is also the first episode in which Lisa Simpson does not deliver any dialogue. The episode was written by Carolyn Omine and William Wright and directed by Chris Clements, features guest star Jane Kaczmarek as Judge Constance Harm, Maurice LaMarche and Joe Mantegna as Fat Tony and has references to the television shows ''Starsky and Hutch'', ''Three's Company'', and ''Bakugan Battle Brawlers''. "Chief of Hearts" received mixed to positive reviews from critics and came first in its timeslot. ==Plot== When Homer attempts to smuggle a candy apple into a bank, he is mistaken for a bank robber and sentenced by Judge Constance Harm to community service. While completing his community service, Homer offers Chief Clancy Wiggum a sandwich. Wiggum is touched by the offer, and the two become instant friends. The two spend more and more time together, and Clancy confesses to Homer that he has very few friends. Their "moment" is interrupted when the chief must rush to a robbery, where Clancy is shot by a thug in Fat Tony's mob. Homer keeps a bedside vigil in the hospital until Clancy awakes, but grows tired of Clancy's neediness and goes to Moe's for a break. When Clancy finds him there, he declares Homer to be a bad friend and demands that Eddie and Lou arrest him, but when they refuse (since that being a "bad friend" is not unlawful) Wiggum yells at them and storms away. Neither police officers Lou nor Eddie can find the chief, but Homer finds him on the same hillside where they first hung out together. When they spot Fat Tony and his mob counterfeiting Lacoste shirts, Homer and Clancy are captured and thrown in the trunk of Tony's car. The situation seems hopeless, but Homer reveals that he has faith in Clancy to find a way out. Clancy rearranges the CDs and when "At Seventeen" by Janis Ian plays instead of a dramatic song it angers Tony. When he goes to confront Homer and Clancy, the two make their escape. They reconcile and proceed to hassle Ned Flanders with the police helicopter. (They shine the spotlight into Ned's bedroom window and Flanders believes it is God. He still believes it when Homer, using a megaphone, tells him to do things like take off his clothes, shave his mustache and drink the shavings in cold cocoa to prepare for the impending Rapture) Meanwhile, Bart is introduced to a Japanese card game called "Battle Ball" at Dylan's birthday party. While it is never resolved whether Dylan is male or female, Bart becomes hooked on this game. His jargon and secretive behavior lead Principal Skinner to suspect Bart of dealing drugs. Marge cannot believe that Bart would become involved with drugs, but she becomes suspicious and searches his room. When he catches her rifling through his things, he shows her his Battle Ball gear and she is satisfied that his interests are legal. Bart is horrified, though, that Marge thinks the game is cute and decides to flush it down the toilet, causing it to overflow. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chief of Hearts」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
