"The Miseducation of Lisa Simpson" is the 12th episode of season 31. It aired on February 16, 2020.
Synopsis
- "The sea captain finds a treasure he's been searching for all his life, but it's taken from him by the townspeople. Marge convinces the people of Springfield to build a S.T.E.M. school with the money."
Plot
Horatio McCallister is in a bar with his wife drinking when police enters the bar and asks for the other half of a map. Horatio and the woman use a candle to burn the police men and excape, blowing out the bar. Outside they set their destination for treasure hunting, Springfield.
40 years later, the sea captain is on his boat, searching for the sunken boat, living with his wife. Years passed by till finally he finds the big treasure, but his wife betrayed him, telling Quimby to extend the limits of Springfield to the area they found the treasure, thus it belongs to the town.
At the Town Hall, a debate on what to use the treasure for is held, and Marge suggests to use it for the kids, for STEM, Science, Technology, Engineering and Math, and calls John Legend for support singing the STEM song. The Springfielders agree on building the Springfield STEM Academy.
Bart and Lisa meet the CEO Zane Furlong. Lisa and other gifted kids get put in the "gifted" class. Bart for once is excited for the new school, with video game like learning. After the Zane explains the children's parents how their job are going to be a waste in little time, Lisa started to grow suspicious of what the kids not in the gifted class were doing.
Eventually she realizes that they were being trained for mundane, minimum wage jobs. Homer tries to warn the Power Plants about the robots taking over their job. Lisa tries to tell the other students about it but Bart, who had finally found a school he enjoyed, stops her.
Lisa goes to the server room in the school to try and find out what was happening with the school's algorithms, only for Bart to stop her. Zane finds them arguing and the three of them look up what jobs would be for humans in the future.
At the Nuclear Plant Homer stops Lenny and Carl from using the machine, by demonstrating how men do it better and collapses due to too much stress. He gets up after a bit saying their job is safe, as humans can still do the job, while new robots are starting to work on Mr. Burns command in the background.
Lisa, Bart and Zane reveal that they only found one, elder care and they tell the students this, saying STEM stays for Sponge bathing, Toileting, Elderly, Massage. All of the students give the school bad reviews, and cause the school's servers to self-destruct.
Zane gets Bart and Lisa out and the school explodes, leaving the kids to return to their old school, now repurposed as a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, while Lisa remembers Bart that the job would still be elder care, but they wouldn't know how to do it.
Zane, who is now working for Postmates, delivers Hot Wings to Homer and suggests nobody knows where technology would take them, then a vision of the future is shown with Bart and Lisa filling cups of drinks for the machine that took over the world, pondering that the algorithm didn't predict that. On The Buckeye Belle, Chalmers goes on a cruise on The Buckeye Belle to try and get together with widows. On the ship, he talks to a woman who lost her husband, saying he'd love to sketch her.
