"'''Much Apu About Something'''" is the 12th episode of [[season 27]]. It aired on January 17, [[2016]].

== Synopsis ==
{{Desc|[[Sanjay]] passes his stake in the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] to his millennial son, [[Jay]], who turns it into a [[Quick & Fresh|hip, health food market]] against [[Apu]]'s insistence on tradition. [[Bart]], whom [[Homer]] had convinced to give up pranking, is called upon to return to his trickster life and take down the new store.}}
== Plot ==
Springfield is having a parade in homage to [[Jebediah Springfield]], the city's founder. During the parade, [[Bart]] activates a fire engine's water cannon, soaking [[Chief Wiggum]]. As a result, the [[Springfield Police Department|Police Department]] get into a battle against the volunteer [[Springfield Fire Department|Fire Department]], resulting in a SWAT tank losing control, destroying the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], and injuring [[Apu]] and [[Sanjay]]. At the hospital, [[Sanjay]] reveals that he wants to retire form his job at the market and give his share of the store to his son, [[Jamshed Nahasapeemapetilon]].

Seeing the consequences of [[Bart]]'s prank, [[Homer]] decides that [[Bart]] has gone too far, and makes him promise to never prank again. [[Milhouse]] tries to bring the old [[Bart]] back, but he resists dropping a bee hive on [[Superintendent Chalmers]]' crotch and releasing the handbrake on [[Skinner]]'s cherry-picker. But his new personality comes with benefits, as he's now getting better grades, and as result, he's having a closer bond with his younger sister [[Lisa]], as now he understands her point of view for not having any recognition at all for her achievements.

Six weeks after the incident, [[Apu]] goes to see what they've done with the [[Kwik-E-Mart]], only to find in it's place the [[Quick & Fresh]], a store that sells natural products run by [[Jamshed Nahasapeemapetilon|Jamshed]] (who's now called [[Jay]]). In the store's restroom, [[Jay]] explains that [[Apu]] has an addiction for scatching tickets, and because of that, he's the owner of 80% of the store. Later, [[Moe]] and [[Apu]] talk about what happened to his store, but [[Jay]], who's already angry at his uncle for being a stereotype, fires [[Apu]] from his job. [[Apu]] is so depressed that he goes to [[Moe's Tavern]], where [[Moe]] convinces [[Homer]] to turn [[Bart]] back into a prankster for him to pull a prank on [[Jay]] so [[Apu]] could have his store back.

[[Bart]], who turns back to his old pranking ways ''a. la.'' ''[[A Clockwork Orange]]'', decides that the best prank would be to turn the [[Quick & Fresh]] light switch off for thirty seconds. As none of the products have preservatives, everything will rot, but he's interrupted by [[Lisa]], who reminds him that after he stopped pranking, they love each other even more, but [[Bart]] misinterprets the expression "unconditional love" as a sign he can do anything he wants and still be loved by his sister, so he cuts the store's power for a few seconds.

Inside the store, all the products start deteriorating, scaring the customers away, but when he turns the power back on, two hot massage stones collide on top of [[Apu]]'s jacket, producing a spark that leads to a major fire. As the [[Springfield Fire Department|fireman]] used all their water and foam against the [[Springfield Police Department|police]] on the parade, they have nothing to extinguish the fire with, and the store is completely destroyed by the flames. Later, [[Apu]] apologizes to [[Jay]], but he also finds another ''[[The Big Bang Theory]]'' scratcher ticket in the middle of the debris. He scratches it and wins a million dollars, enough money to buy his store back and rebuild the [[Kwik-E-Mart]].
