Touched by Homer's "heroism", Barney flies the helicopter to the mountaintop, and Bart and Lisa are saved. Barney is convinced he needs Liquid Courage to keep flying, but Homer pushes him back and drinks the entire six-pack himself (getting blind drunk in the process). Barney's piloting skills are still sketchy, and he ends up landing in the middle of a bridge, where a Duff truck jackknifes and empties six-packs all over the road. Homer sees the kids' plight on the news, and pleads with Barney to fly him to Mt. Unfortunately, when Bart ejects the flash bulb after taking the picture, he and Lisa don't notice it set fire to some dry brush, and soon the mountaintop is engulfed in a forest fire, trapping the Simpson siblings. ![]() Bart and Lisa find an old camera in the closet and try to find the perfect shot for the cover, finally settling on a panoramic view of Springfield as seen from the top of Mt. Meanwhile, Springfield Bell announce a contest for the phone book's new cover photo. However, his new sobriety causes a rift with Homer, who is shunted into the role of the resident pathetic drunk at Moe's Tavern, and feels that Barney now thinks himself too good for his former drinking buddy. He starts going to AA meetings and signs up for helicopter lessons using a coupon Moe gave him for his birthday. ![]() When it becomes apparent that his friends see him as an alcoholic loser, he resolves to give up booze. He finds Barney in a funk, but when Barney says it was his birthday last week and no-one remembered, Moe produces a video of his birthday party, thrown at the Simpson home Barney was too drunk to remember it. Homer finds a discarded giant tiki head while trash rummaging with Bart, but when he re-routes the gas line to make the head spew fire, it ignites the back lawn, and he quickly flees to Moe's until the heat (literally) dies down. "All right, world, get ready to meet the clean and sober Barney Gumble."
