Synopsis

In an attempt to bring the family together, Marge forces everyone to hand in their electronics and take a trip to a book store. Bart takes an interest in Sun Tzu's The Art of War.

Plot

A Itchy & Scratchy marathon, #everyslaughterever, is airing on FXX. Homer, Lisa, and Bart are enjoying it, watching the "Leave It To Cleaver" episode, when Marge says they've had enough and switches off the television, wanting to spend family time together without watching TV.

She forces everyone to hand in their electronics and take a trip to the Springfield Library, but due to it closing early, they go to Bookaccino's. Since it doesn't sell books, they go to The Old Springfield Book Nook, where Bart finds an interesting book: The Art of War by Sun Tzu.

At school, he manages to stop Nelson's bullying by following Sun Tzu's advice. Marge tries to share her favorite book, The Princess in the Garden, with Lisa, but realizes it is different from how she remembered it. In a dream, she meets the author, who convinces her to rewrite it for Lisa.

Bart continues to use Tzu's advice on Homer to convince him to take him to TunnelCraft-Con, where they even meet Daniel Radcliffe, while Lisa takes Marge to Springfield University to attend a discussion with authors exchanging opinions on the book.

Milhouse spills the beans on what Bart has been doing and follows Tzu's advice himself, bringing Ned home and acting like him to get back at Bart. In the end, they reconcile just before the Aztec Theater catches on fire.
