History
Due to her misunderstanding of the Simpson gene, Lisa was dejectedly writing in her diary that she had reached her mental and creative peak at age eight. She decided, "Maybe I should just give up now and settle into a mindless, happy stupor", and went downstairs to watch TV with Bart and Homer.

When Buildings Collapse was on, and in quick succession the program showed four video clips of buildings collapsing. During the clips, Bart and Homer cheered, hollered, laughed and exchanged high-fives. Lisa unenthusiastically played along, blandly saying, "Maybe someone got hurt", which made Homer laugh even more. After the last building collapse clip, a graphic of Kent Brockman at his desk being yelled at came on, along with a voiceover announcement: "And now, a Channel 6 editorial reply." Homer said, "Boring!" and quickly changed the channel. He ended up getting a program called When Surgery Goes Wrong, which was much more to his and Bart's liking.

Lisa later learned that the Simpson gene only affected males of the Simpson line and that Simpson women were all successful and high-achieving, giving her a new lease on life.
