"Lost Our Lisa" is the twenty-fourth and penultimate episode of the ninth season of the American animated television series The Simpsons. It originally aired on Fox in the United States on May 10, 1998. The episode contains the last appearance of the character Lionel Hutz, albeit in a non-speaking role (his last speaking appearance is the earlier episode "Realty Bites"). When Lisa learns that Marge cannot give her a ride to the museum and forbids her to take the bus, she deceives Homer into giving her permission. After Lisa gets lost, Homer goes looking for her and the duo end up visiting the museum together.
The episode is analyzed in the books Planet Simpson, The Psychology of the Simpsons: D'oh! and The Simpsons and Philosophy: The D'oh! of Homer and received positive mention in I Can't Believe It's a Bigger and Better Updated Unofficial Simpsons Guide.
