Plot

A Itchy & Scratchy Marathon #everyslaughterever is airing on FXX. Homer, Lisa and Bart are enjoying it, watching the Leave It To Cleaver episode, when Marge says they had enough and switches off the television, wanting to spend family time together without watching TV.

She forces everyone to hand in their electronics and take a trip to the Springfield Library, but due to it's closing early, they go to Bookaccino's. Due to it not selling books, they go to The Old Springfield Book Nook, where Bart finds an interesting book to him, The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

At school, he manages to stop Nelson's bullyism by following Sun's advice. Marge tries to share her favourite book, The Princess in the Garden, with Lisa, but remembers it different than what it is. In a dream she meets the author who convinces her to rewrite it for Lisa.

Bart continues to use Tzu's advices on Homer to convince him to take him to TunnelCraft-Con, where they even meet Daniel Radcliffe, while Lisa takes Marge to Springfield University to meet authors exchanging opinions on the book.

Milhouse spills the beans on what Bart was doing, and take Tzu's advice too, bringing Ned home and acting like him, to get back on what Bart did. At the end they reconcile, just before the Aztec Theater catches on fire.
