* HypocriticalHeartwarming: When Lisa calls Bart for help, Bart taunts her with the fact that she [[DisownedSibling "un-brothered" him]] earlier and he therefore owes her nothing. It's only when she tells him that the girls at the slumber party are meaner than ''he'' is that he [[BigBrotherInstinct snaps into action]].
