Premise: The terrible Hurricane Barbara destroys the Flanders' home and the Leftorium. Ned's neighbours try to help him out by building him a new one. When he sees what they've done, he finally flips - and after an astonishing outburst, admits himself into the Calmwood Mental Hospital. What dark secrets might therapy reveal?

Couch: There is no sofa - just a big sign pointing to a couch vending machine.

Trivia:

• The original Hall of Records in Springfield was mysteriously blown away in 1978.

Homage: Twister and The Wizard of Oz provide much of the hurricane imagery.

Look out for: The arrival of Hurricane Barbara in a clever version of the series' titles.

Notes: An explanation for why Ned Flanders speaks like he does, and some amusing set pieces involving Homer and the psychotherapist assigned to Ned Flanders' case.
