Plot[edit]
When Bart and Lisa run toward the Fun for Your Lives! Game Store for games, they come to a screeching halt when they find it full of people playing card games and building figurines inside. When Martin has to take a bathroom break, he asks Bart to take over his role as his character in a game of Wizadry & Pretend as Dandelion Tenderjape.
In the game, they are taking on the dragon Balfalmagog, and Bart decides to attack him despite Professor Frink, as Mythagoras the Bold, deciding to retreat. He gets charred almost to death, and Mythagoras decides not to leave his companion behind. He starts using elemental spells against the dragon but gets killed by its Egg of Death piercing the shield he created due to bad dice rolls, and Dungeon Master Comic Book Guy rips his card off, making him cry. Lisa tells Bart she is going to tattle to Marge about how he made Frink cry.
Later, Marge takes Bart to Frink's House to apologize, and he invites them in. Marge talks to Frink about his emotional attachment to the character while Bart starts playing around his lab until Marge proposes for Bart to become his lab assistant, which both agree to. They start having fun and causing destruction until, after a discussion on how Bart sees himself as dumb and Frink disagrees, Frink receives an invitation to a college reunion and invites the whole Simpson family to the rich party at the location, Peter Linz's mansion.
There, Bart overhears other rich people wondering how Frink can stand Peter, and after asking why, they tell him how in college, at the Silicon Valley Tech college, Frink invented things but didn't profit from them, leaving it to others to take, and Peter stole his invention of an electronic assistant, Susan, to create Amazon Alexa.
Meanwhile, Lisa is trying to get one of the rich people to give her a scholarship since they spent her college fund on parking fees but is unsuccessful. Homer and Marge find out that the people are in a radical life-extension program to solve aging, so no fatty food or alcohol, and they try testing his blood for it. While talking to Peter, Frink pulls out his latest invention, glasses that reveal other people's emotions, and Peter immediately seizes the opportunity to steal them.
Homer is informed that his blood is a miracle as he has biomarkers of a 26-year-old man, and he tells them his secret is beer and Doritos. Bart then notices how Peter is about to rob Frink of another invention and opens his eyes to his schemes, making him feel angry for the first time, and Frink opens Bart's eyes to how he is not dumb but smart. Meanwhile, tons of Duff Beer and Doritos and a Krusty Burger restaurant arrive via drones to the mansion.
To take revenge on Frink, Bart allies with Peter to take the schematics from him. Meanwhile, Lisa points out it's not Homer's blood that was tested, and Homer confirms he used Bart's, a 10-year-old with the biomarkers of a 26-year-old. Bart prepares the schematics, but when a Komodo dragon gets loose and tries to attack him, Frink saves him, dressed as a sorcerer, and Bart hugs him, and they return as friends.
Bart then confesses he reproduced his schematics for Peter, and Frink is impressed by how he did it from memory, further proving he is smart. The glasses show how proud of him he is and promises a future scholarship for him (but not Lisa, making her angry). In the end, when they are leaving, Frink reveals they were in New Zealand since he didn't sign the NDA, and then at the lab, he shows the new Komodo Dragon Translator.
