Episode AABFO3
Written by Ian Maxtone-Graham
Directed by Bob Anderson
Also starring: Pamela Hayden, Tress MacNeille, Maggie Roswell, Russi Taylor, Karl Weidergott
Special guest voice: Marcia Wallace (as Ms Krabappel)

Premise: After throwing a few sickies to play Bart's PlayStation, Lisa misses revising for a test on The Wind in the Willows. Against her better judgement, she enlists Bart and Nelson's aid in cheating and wins an A+++, which means the school's success rating is up and it is eligible for a cash reward. But can Lisa stop her conscience forcing her to tell the truth and denying the school its new computers? Homer meanwhile has decided to befriend Mr Pinchy, a lobster.

Features: Carl, Lenny, Moe, Barney, Jasper, Kent Brockman, Chief Wiggum, Mrs Wiggum, Skinner, Miss Hoover, Groundskeeper Willie, Otto, Superintendent Chalmers, Nelson, Ralph, Janey, Allison, Rev. Lovejoy, Helen Lovejoy, Mr van Houten, Mrs van Houten, the Princes, Dr Hibbert, Sylvia, Quimby, Captain McCallister, Gil, Spotty Boy.

Couch: The family have hair transplants: Homer has Maggie's, Marge Bart's, Bart Lisa's, Lisa Homer's and Maggie has Marge's.

Trivia:

• Luanne van Houten brings Pyro - the Gladiator she's having a relationship with - to the presentation at the end, much to Kirk's annoyance.
• Lisa plays Dash Dingo on Bart's games console.
• The vegetarian section of the supermarket has a notice saying Say it isn't Soy.
• Amongst the ice cream flavours Lisa tries to avoid freezing to death over (in order to get for Homer) are Milli Vanilli, Cherry Garcia, Desmond Tutti Frutti, Candy Wahol, Xavier Nougat and Sherbert Hoover. Ben and Jerry's, take note.

Homage: Dash Dingo is clearly a substitute for top PlayStation platform game hero Crash Bandicoot.

Look out for: An absolute gem after Timothy Lovejoy's latest boring sermon: leading the dash to escape the church is his wife! Watch out, as well, for Homer's attempts to get the lobster and the fish to live together and, best of all, the different perspectives on Mr Pinchy. Homer sees him all sweet and Disney-esque; Marge sees him as a fierce, ugly, pincer-snapping monster.

Notes: A fabulously defining moment in Lisa's life, showing what happens if you let your guard slip. What makes this work even more is the false ending which shows that everyone in Springfield is as adept at predicting Lisa's morality as the viewers are. An absolutely inspired piece of comedy.
