Synopsis
On a trip to the mall, Homer sees an optometrist to get his eyes examined, and at the same time, Marge and Lisa find items for a camping trip Bart is going to take. Marge sees a marquee for the film Tango de La Muerte and she and Lisa decide to see it. Lisa identifies with the main female character, a bookworm named "Lisabella" whom the Tango champion asks to be his partner. This interests Lisa, who wants to take dance lessons. She eventually does, but her hopes of being a dancer are crushed when it turns out she can not dance. Worse yet, her teacher, "Little" Vicki Valentine, makes her a curtain puller in an upcoming recital.
Meanwhile, Bart and Milhouse sneak out of their camping trip to hide in the mall and spend a week there, stealing toys and filling their stomachs with candy and cookie dough. This prompts Chief Wiggum to do an investigation of the shenanigans at the mall, which Wiggum at first thinks is caused by a giant rat.
Lisa's recital is coming up, and she has a problem. That is, until Professor Frink attaches a device to her shoes, making them automatically tap at any percussive sound. She becomes a star at the show, but when the audience applauds her, her shoes go out of control. She is later exposed, and at Homer and Marge's suggestion, decides to be a playwright instead, choosing to write a play about people coming to terms with things (and to "load it up with lots of swears" in the vein of David Mamet).
