The movie that Bart and Mrs. Krabappel watch together is a parody of the 1986 film Back to School, starring Rodney Dangerfield. It apparently stars [[Larry Burns]], who was voiced by Dangerfield in the&nbsp;eighth season episode [[Burns, Baby Burns]].

Synopsis[edit]

Bart gets Mrs. Krabappel drunk in an attempt to get her to loosen up, which leads to her getting fired by Principal Skinner. A cool new teacher, Zachary Vaughn, takes over the class in her stead. While Edna opens a muffin store and seems to enjoy her life, she still longs to remain a teacher.

Plot[edit]

Bart and his classmates get their cellphones confiscated by Mrs. Krabappel for using them in class. At a meeting in Bart's house, the students realize that Homer is always fun to be around when he's drunk so they decide to get Mrs. Krabappel drunk. Each student steals some alcohol from their parents and puts it in Mrs. Krabappel's coffee. After Mrs. Krabappel gets drunk she makes a scene which results in her getting fired. As a result, Bart and Milhouse buy a book called "The Answer". Following the instructions of the book, Bart and Mrs. Krabappel build a Muffin store called Edna's Edibles. That's when Bart confesses that he was the one who put alcohol in Mrs. Krabappel's coffee. Mrs. Krabappel is angry with Bart and leaves and tears the book with the batter mixer.

Meanwhile, at Springfield Elementary, a new teacher called Zachary Vaughn teaches Bart's class and gives everyone their cellphones back, everyone loves him, except Bart. He still misses Mrs. Krabappel. Bart was going to put alcohol in Zachary's drink as well but backs out at the last second and decides to tell Principal Skinner instead. While he is confessing he and Skinner hear someone yelling in the hallway. It was Zachary, shouting drunkenly that he hates children. Skinner initially thinks Bart spiked his drink, and states that he thought Bart told him that he didn't spike it, to which Bart confirms again that he didn't, with Zachary confirming Bart's statement, as he has a tendency to spike his own drink.
