−	When [[Miss Hoover]] falls ill with a suspected case of Lyme disease, she is replaced by a substitute teacher named [[Mr. Bergstrom]]. Mr. Bergstrom is different in regards to previous teachers [[Lisa]] has, and with his knowledgeable way of teaching, she slowly develops a crush on him. After school one day, she overhears Mr. Bergstrom and [[Mrs. Krabappel]] talking. Edna hopes to entice Mr. Bergstrom, but he refuses, saying that he puts the education of his students above 'other things'. Lisa is even touched when during a reading of the E.B. White book "Charlotte's Web," Mr.Bergstrom is not afraid to cry during a very emotional part. Lisa explains this touching event to Marge.

She rushes to his apartment and finds him having left for another job. She rushes to the train station to catch him, and confesses to that she will be lost without him. To comfort her, he writes her a note and tells her that if she ever feels alone and like she can't rely on anybody, its contents are all she needs to know. He then boards the train and departs. It reads, "You are Lisa Simpson." Meanwhile, certain of Bart's inevitable victory thanks to his popular campaigning, none of the children in his class–including himself–actually voted, giving Martin the victory with just two votes; one from himself, and the other from [[Wendell Borton]].
−	Meanwhile, in Mrs. Krabappel's class, elections are announced for Class President. [[Martin Prince]] gladly accepts Mrs. Krabappel's endorsement, but Sheri and Teri jokingly nominate [[Bart]], knowing that he'll use this opportunity to joke around. Bart goes along with their 'expectations,' and makes the school paper's front page when he incites a call for 'more asbestos' when Martin Prince cautions that some had been found in the classroom. The article causes Homer to become happy that Bart is gaining attention, and plots to spend as much time as he can to help his campaign. Their campaign tactics delve more into mudslinging, and do not really deal with any actual topics. Of course, this causes Bart to gain more and more attention, as it seems Martin's campaign is trailing.	+	Devastated by Mr. Bergstrom's departure, Lisa takes her grief out on [[Homer]], calling him a baboon. [[Marge]] tells Homer to console Lisa, explaining how her daughter is very hurt emotionally and is in need of her father. Homer enters Lisa's room and finds her crying over her desk. He is uncertain of how to deal with Lisa's sadness, and is uncomfortable seeing his daughter crying. Homer explains to Lisa how he cannot really understand how it feels to lose someone important: everyone he has ever loved and cared about lives with him still. He then alludes to Lisa calling him a baboon, and in a loving manner mimics a monkey, cheering her up. Lisa apologizes to Homer for calling him a baboon, and he accepts the apology. Finding Bart still seething over the election result, Homer cheers him up by reminding him that all the job of class president would have really meant was a lot of extra work with little reward, making Bart feel happy that he lost the election. Finally going by [[Maggie]]'s room, he places her pacifier in her mouth. Proud that he helped all three of his children, Homer goes to bed with Marge happily that night, stating he is "on the biggest roll" of his life.
−	One day, Mr. Bergstrom makes an announcement that the 'Springfield Museum of Natural History' will close due to a 'lack of interest.' Lisa wants to go, and Marge tries to convince Homer to take her. Homer tries to get out of it by saying that he needs to spend more time with Bart, but finally relents(due to the fact that he can't think of a good reason). At the museum, Lisa and Homer run into Mr. Bergstrom. Lisa hangs on Mr. Bergstrom's every word about the exhibits, while Homer tries to chime in as well. Of course, his comments seem so 'pedestrian' to Lisa. During a lull, Mr. Bergstrom takes Homer asideto a sub shop, and voices his concern that he feels that Lisa is upset that she has no male role model to look up to. Homer attempts to try and interact more with Lisa at the museum, but she rejects all his attempts. As Lisa tells Marge how it seemed that Homer humiliated her in front of Mr. Bergstrom, Marge suggests that maybe they could invite Mr. Bergstrom over for dinner. Lisa jumps at the idea, and the next day enters the classroom, only to find that Ms. Hoover has returned. After explaining to the children that her illness was psychosomatic (she only believed she had Lyme disease), she tells the class that she us upset that Mr. Bergstrom didn't follow any of the lessons she had originally assigned. When she asks just what the class was taught, Lisa blurts out "That life is worth living," before bolting from the room.
−
−	The same day, in Mrs. Krabappel's class, it is the day of Class President elections. Per the rules, all ballots must be submitted before the recess bell rings. Martin is too overcome with doubt that he has lost, but Bart raucously calls for a victory party to be held on the playground. During the party, Bart thanks everyone for their votes, only to find that noone at his victory party voted...not even him! As the bell rings, Bart realizes it's too late. Back in the classroom, Mrs. Krabappel happily reveals that two people did vote: Martin and Wendel. Winning 2-0, Martin happily glows in triumph.
−
−	Meanwhile, Lisa runs through Springfield to find Mr. Bergstrom. Arriving at his apartment, a tenant tells her that he went to the train station. Mr. Bergstrom greets her happily, but Lisa is saddened that he would just leave. Mr. Bergstrom reveals that it's all part of being a substitute teacher: he's there one day, and the next he's gone. Before they say goodbye, Mr. Bergstrom writes a note to Lisa, telling her that if she ever feels lost, the note will tell her 'everything she needs to know.' As the train carrying Mr. Bergstrom departs for Capital Citylisa runs after the trian yelling goodbye, then Lisa checks the note, which reads: "You Are Lisa Simpson."
−
−	That night at dinner, [[Homer]] hears how Bart lost the election, and rants about how terrible it is. Though when Lisa reveals her own sad event that day, Homer acts nonchalantly, not even caring about her feelings. Finally growing agitated, Lisa yells at Homer, calling him a babboon, before running to her room in tears. Homer acts shocked at this, whining to Marge who stops him in his tracks, explaining that Lisa is sad and confused, and that she needs her Daddy to comfort her. Homer goes to Lisa's room, and at first is unsure what to do. When he opens a music box by her desk, he suddenly reveals to her that he's lucky, as he has never lost anyone special: that everyone special to him is under their home's roof. When he mentions that he's good at 'monkey business,' he playfully imitates an ape, causing Lisa to laugh. Cheered up, she apologizes for calling him a babboon.

−	As he passes by Bart's room, he hears Bart moping about losing the election. Homer helps Bart to see the bright side: one of which is that he would have had to have done more schoolwork. After this, he happily passes by [[Maggie]]'s crib, and places her pacifier in her mouth. Feeling content, he and [[Marge]] go to bed while he's on "a roll"
