| Meanwhile, on Simpsons Singapore... |
Bart's class gets another new 4th grade teacher, Ms. Berrera, an army vet whom Bart quickly becomes smitten with. However, Bart soon realizes that Principal Skinner is also smitten with her, and he and Skinner begin to clash for Berrera's affection. Meanwhile, on an errand to buy $16 organic milk, Homer is instead convinced by Apu to buy the much cheaper and questionable Buzz "Milk" (a parody of Coca-Cola Fairlife which I forgot was a thing, thanks writers for reminding me of stuff from a year ago, again).
A few days later, Lisa grows acne and Bart, a mustache. Once Maggie becomes gorilla-like in appearance and strength, the family realizes the "milk" is to blame and quickly ditch it. During this time, Lisa wears makeup to cover her acne, which makes her quite popular. In just a week's time she becomes obsessed with her popularity and tries to really go all out for an outdoor party, but with rain imminent Lisa realizes her luck is up and attempts to preempt the rain by revealing her flaws to everyone, but the acne has since cleared up so Lisa's plan backfires and she's back to being unpopular.
Meanwhile, perhaps due in part to his mustache, Bart eventually loses out to Skinner, whom he sees kissing Berrera. In vengeance, Bart decides to pull prank after prank on Skinner while he's with Berrera in some attempt to break them up. Lisa advises Bart that the hormones from the "milk" is responsible for Bart's current behavior. He calms down, loses his mustache and invites both Skinner and Berrera to an ice-skating park where he simply wishes the couple the best. In short time, Skinner attempts to introduce Berrera to his mother and his lame lifestyle, which disgusts Berrera so badly she goes back to the army. Bart, Skinner and Milhouse for some reason bond over the experience some time later.
Quick Review
This was a pretty boring episode. Not a lot of humor, especially later on, and the episode wraps up in a seemingly rushed, haphazard way which doesn't help it at all. The premise of the episode was weird, there was a Lisa sideplot because apparently Season 27 is all about Lisa, and most of the plot just fell flat.
Final Score: 5.8
