Plot
After Edna Krabappel confiscates their cell phones, the pupils, led by Bart, decide to teach her a lesson by spiking her coffee with booze. This leads her to make a drunken fool of herself during an assembly, forcing Principal Skinner to fire her. Her replacement is a cool new teacher named Zachary "Zack" Vaughn, who impresses the class with his hip attitude and use of texting, blogging, Twitter, and Facebook in lesson plans. Bart visits Ms. Krabappel at her home and finds her miserable and unwashed (although likely still less grubby than Bart himself). While at a bookstore with Milhouse Van Houten, Bart learns of a book and DVD set called "The Answer," which rather shamelessly claims to hold the key to a happy and successful life. Bart buys the book for Ms. Krabappel, who follows its instructions to fulfill her dream of owning her own muffin shop. Thinking her content with her new life, Bart reveals that it was he who spiked the coffee, but that no harm has come of it as she is living her dream. Krabappel replies that he has ruined her life as her dream was always to be a teacher. Resolving to get Zack fired so that Krabappel can return to work, Bart sneaks into the school with the intention of spiking Zack's Blue Bronco Energy Drink. He instead has a last minute change of heart and decides to tell Skinner the truth so that Krabappel will be reinstated. Skinner, however, tells Bart that he can't fire a good teacher (or even just a competent one, or even one that just shows up) for no reason. Just then, they overhear someone in the hallway shouting about how much he hates children. It is revealed that Zachary Vaughn has been spiking his own Blue Bronco with vodka just to get through the day, and he is dragged away by Groundskeeper Willie all the while drunkenly disparaging the school's bureaucracy and students. Ms. Krabappel returns to school, and even gets her revenge by forcing the students to eat the stale leftover products from her now-defunct muffin shop.
