The Good, the Sad and the Drugly is the seventeenth episode of Season 20. It first aired on April 19, 2009. The episode was written by Marc Wilmore and directed by Rob Oliver. Bart volunteers at the Springfield Retirement Castle in order to impress a girl, but this leaves Milhouse (who took the rap for a school prank he and Bart pulled) less than impressed; Lisa becomes depressed when she writes a report on what Springfield will be like 50 years from now, but her medication makes her see everything happy - bright yellow happy faces, that is.
Plot
When Bart and Milhouse pull off a prank at Springfield Elementary, they unscrew everything in the building and watch as almost everything falls apart. Milhouse takes the fall and gets suspended from school. Homer forces Bart to sign in under Homer’s name and visit Grampa at his retirement home, and Bart soon becomes smitten with a delightful 11-year-old volunteer named Jenny (Anne Hathaway). Hoping to impress Jenny, Bart offers to volunteer at the home. He even "volunteers" to get beat up by Jimbo, Dolph and Kernie (who are being mean to a duck in order to impress Shawna) so he can save a baby duck. But as Bart and Jenny’s relationship progresses, Milhouse emerges from his suspension and is less than thrilled about Bart turning his back on him for a girl. Meanwhile, Lisa does a report on what Springfield will look like in 50 years and becomes very depressed at the dreary outlook. A concerned Marge takes Lisa to a psychiatrist who diagnoses Lisa with Environment-Related Despair and puts her on an antidepressant, ignorital, to cure her eco-blues.
