Lisa notices she has perfect balance due to the encouragement from the dream and because she has a large head. Lisa starts doing extremely well in gym class. After gym she meets Tina and Carrie, two girls who she believes are just like her, eight years old and smart, only to realizes that they are college students.

Meanwhile, Bart is at Krusty Burger with Grampa. He reaches in and pulls a Krusty-saurus toy out of his meal only for a mosquito to fly out the bottom of it and bite him and becomes infected with the Panda Virus. To prevent it from being caught by any other people, Dr. Hibbert places Bart inside a giant plastic bubble. Bart cannot adapt to life in side the bubble due to problems like not being able to eat and take a bath. Although Homer does fill the bubble up with water and rolls it around the yard to give him a 'bath'.

While Lisa is at a lecture about Itchy and Scratchy, they blow Lisa's cover and her college friends don't like her anymore. They start insulting her, and she runs out of the auditorium crying. Lisa tries to convince Homer and Marge that college suits her, but they refuse to listen, saying that college is no place for her at all. When Lisa returns to school the next day, she finds out she also lost a lot of friends her age.
Meanwhile, Bart gets used to his bubble and uses it to become popular and it also amuses Homer. Bart tells Lisa that in order to get her friends back she has to pull a prank on Principal Skinner. A day later, while Superintendent Chalmers is dedicating a parking annex to principal Skinner, Bart rolls Lisa while she is inside his bubble. He then pushes her of the school roof and she lands on the chocolate cake next to Principal Skinner. The chocolate cake splatters all over Principal Skinner.
