Two months prior, the family went to Towne Centre at Springfielde Glenne. Here, they met Lenny who had bought a condo here. After telling him that he can't go shopping with them, he runs off into American Princess. Marge gives the rest of the family coupons to use in the shops and they all go their separate ways. Lisa explains every shop that they went to and the Blue-haired lawyer, back in normal time, tells Lisa to hurry up and get to it. Lisa says that she has cut a lot of it out and all the curse words have been cut out too.

Back to two months ago, Lisa meets Sherri and Terri outside Home of the Braid where they tell her that she is unpopular. Meanwhile, Homer buys a Mapple Void from the Mapple Store. Upset by the fact she is unpopular, Lisa comes back home from school one day and Homer invites her to become friends with his new computer. Lisa discovers it's so much easier to make friends with people over the Internet than in real life and decides to set up a social networking website, SpringFace. Enlisting the help of fellow nerds Martin, Database, Cosine and Report Card, they get the idea of the layout from Nelson who then attacks the nerds and walks out again.

Eventually, SpringFace becomes popular, not only between the children, but the adults start to use it as well. Lisa realizes that she has made something immensely popular. Pretty much the whole of Springfield starts to use it, using mobile devices to go on it even when driving. Eventually, Lisa realizes what has happened, she feels more alone than ever before as everyone is using SpringFace and not speaking to her in real life.

Back in court, the blue-haired lawyer explains that SpringFace had become a failure to Lisa and was the biggest failure since. then gets up and walks off, head hung low.

Eventually, devastation starts to happen in Springfield. There are lots of car crashes due to people being on SpringFace and 35 people end up dead. Back in the court room, Lisa is asked to shut down SpringFace, which she does. Everyone starts to get on with their normal lives.
