After Bart starts drinking a milk substitute filled with bad hormones, he experiences early puberty and grows a little mustache — as well as feelings for Mrs. Berrera. She’s more forgiving than [[Mrs. Krabappel]] was of Bart and she pays special attention to him. Mrs. Berrera winds up in the middle of a romantic rivalry, as she has also drawn the attention of [[Principal Skinner]]. She feels Skinner is a wounded soul that she wants to take care of.

== Plot ==
 +
[[Groundskeeper Willie]] was trying to be a substitute teacher for the forth grade, but in order to make the kids quiet, he starts playing a bagpipe. [[Superintendent Chalmers]] enters the room and tells [[Willie]] to stop playing the instrument and leave the room because there was a new teacher: [[Mrs. Berrera]].
 +
 
 +
[[Bart]] started acting weird when she first entered the room, and later realized that he has a crush on his new teacher. Meanwhile, [[Homer]] has to buy a healthy milk for the family, but [[Apu]] makes him buy a [[Buzz Milk|cheaper milk]] full of hormones made by [[Buzz Cola]].
 +
 
 +
The next morning, the family discovers that [[Bart]] was the first to wake up and was already dressed for class. [[Lisa]] mocks [[Bart]] that he's only doing that for his new teacher, which is true.
 +
 
 +
[[Homer]] drives [[Bart]] to school only to see her, and they're surprised by other dads, also eavesdropping on her class. Later, [[Bart]] writes "[[Skinner]] is a wiener" on the school's wall, but it's surprised by [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]] saying that she needs to see him after class.
 +
 
 +
At their meeting, she tells [[Bart]] that he's way behind the class and need a tutor. When [[Skinner|Seymour Skinner]] offers help on her class by pulling up her maps, [[Bart]] discovers that [[Skinner]] is also trying to impress [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]].
 +
 
 +
The next morning, the [[Buzz Milk|milk]] hormones started making effect on [[Bart]] (who now has a little mustache), [[Lisa]] (who now has an acne problem) and [[Maggie]]. [[Marge]] decides to help [[Lisa]] while [[Homer]] teaches [[Bart]] to shave his beard, where he discovers that he has to take the plastic cover off the blade for it to work properly.
 +
 
 +
Meanwhile, [[Lisa]] tries to hide her face with a hoodie, but [[Marge]] changes her mind by presenting her to makeup in order to hide her skin problems.
 +
 
 +
At school, [[Bart]] pretends he's hurt to draw [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]]'s attention and take her away from [[Skinner|Seymour]] to help him with first-aid. At the watching crowd, [[Nelson]] discovers that [[Lisa]] is using makeup, which makes her popular enough to be invited to a third grade party.
 +
 
 +
The next day, at breakfast, [[Marge]] discovers that the [[Buzz Milk]] is the one causing problems to the kids. They call the number on the box, but [[Snake]] picks up the phone in prison.
 +
 
 +
Later at school, [[Bart]] sees [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]] and [[Skinner|Seymour]] kissing on the corridor. He also calls [[Bart]] for a meeting, saying that he knows way more things about [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]] than [[Bart]] does, and that he doesn't have a chance to win her.
 +
 
 +
Angry by [[Skinner]]'s play, he decides to prank them by filling a chocolate box given to [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]] by [[Skinner]] with class pets, such as snakes and frogs.
 +
 
 +
Later, at the third grade party, [[Lisa]] realizes that it's about to rain and everyone would see her acne problem if the makeup washes away, resulting on humiliation, but she decides to reveal her problem herself by taking off the makeup in front of everybody, but her skin is clean and she notices that the hormone effects are gone, so she decides to leave the party, embarrassed for making an underwhelming announcement.
 +
 
 +
[[Lisa]] convinces [[Bart]] to give up on [[Carol Berrera|Mrs. Berrera]] and let [[Skinner]] have her as a girlfriend, but when he presents her to [[Agnes]], she gets so disgusted about his mother that she decides to end her relationship with him.
 +
 
 +
At night, [[Skinner|Seymour]], [[Bart]] and [[Milhouse]] decided to roast marshmallows at the school, using [[Bart]]'s permanent record as fuel to the fire, while [[Lisa]] plays her saxophone in the music class.
 +
 
 +
At the next morning's breakfast, [[Lisa]]'s playing saxophone at the kitchen, claiming that she'll never use makeup again, but [[Bart]] mocks her by saying "Carnegie Hall" out loud (which according to her, it would make her dream of playing there not come true).
 +
 
 +
They start fighting on the floor, but they're separated by [[Maggie]], who now has a huge mono-brow and super strength due to the [[Buzz Milk|milk]] hormones.

Synopsis[edit]

"After Bart starts drinking a milk substitute filled with bad hormones, he experiences early puberty and grows a little mustache — as well as feelings for Mrs. Berrera, his new teacher. Mrs. Berrera winds up in the middle of a romantic rivalry, as she also draws the attention of Principal Skinner. She feels Skinner is a wounded soul that she wants to take care of. She is a vet like Skinner, and that's his attraction."


Plot[edit]

Groundskeeper Willie was trying to be a substitute teacher for the forth grade, but in order to make the kids quiet, he starts playing a bagpipe. Superintendent Chalmers enters the room and tells Willie to stop playing the instrument and leave the room because there was a new teacher: Mrs. Berrera.

Bart started acting weird when she first entered the room, and later realized that he has a crush on his new teacher. Meanwhile, Homer has to buy a healthy milk for the family, but Apu makes him buy a cheaper milk full of hormones made by Buzz Cola.

The next morning, the family discovers that Bart was the first to wake up and was already dressed for class. Lisa mocks Bart that he's only doing that for his new teacher, which is true.

Homer drives Bart to school only to see her, and they're surprised by other dads, also eavesdropping on her class. Later, Bart writes "Skinner is a wiener" on the school's wall, but it's surprised by Mrs. Berrera saying that she needs to see him after class.

At their meeting, she tells Bart that he's way behind the class and need a tutor. When Seymour Skinner offers help on her class by pulling up her maps, Bart discovers that Skinner is also trying to impress Mrs. Berrera.

The next morning, the milk hormones started making effect on Bart (who now has a little mustache), Lisa (who now has an acne problem) and Maggie. Marge decides to help Lisa while Homer teaches Bart to shave his beard, where he discovers that he has to take the plastic cover off the blade for it to work properly.

Meanwhile, Lisa tries to hide her face with a hoodie, but Marge changes her mind by presenting her to makeup in order to hide her skin problems.

At school, Bart pretends he's hurt to draw Mrs. Berrera's attention and take her away from Seymour to help him with first-aid. At the watching crowd, Nelson discovers that Lisa is using makeup, which makes her popular enough to be invited to a third grade party.

The next day, at breakfast, Marge discovers that the Buzz Milk is the one causing problems to the kids. They call the number on the box, but Snake picks up the phone in prison.

Later at school, Bart sees Mrs. Berrera and Seymour kissing on the corridor. He also calls Bart for a meeting, saying that he knows way more things about Mrs. Berrera than Bart does, and that he doesn't have a chance to win her.

Angry by Skinner's play, he decides to prank them by filling a chocolate box given to Mrs. Berrera by Skinner with class pets, such as snakes and frogs.

Lisa convinces Bart to give up on Mrs. Berrera and let Skinner have her as a girlfriend, but when he presents her to Agnes, she gets so disgusted about his mother that she decides to end her relationship with him.

At night, Seymour, Bart and Milhouse decided to roast marshmallows at the school, using Bart's permanent record as fuel to the fire, while Lisa plays her saxophone in the music class.

At the next morning's breakfast, Lisa's playing saxophone at the kitchen, claiming that she'll never use makeup again, but Bart mocks her by saying "Carnegie Hall" out loud (which according to her, it would make her dream of playing there not come true).

They start fighting on the floor, but they're separated by Maggie, who now has a huge mono-brow and super strength due to the milk hormones.
