 == Plot ==
-[[Principal Skinner]] opens a CTU – [[Counter Truancy Unit]] – at [[Springfield Elementary School]] with [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] heading up the operation over [[Milhouse Van Houten|Milhouse]], [[Martin Prince|Martin]], and [[Database]]. When the bullies [[Jimbo Jones|Jimbo]], [[Dolph]] and [[Kearney]] play truant, Milhouse is assigned to spy on them. An expired and highly pungent container of yogurt at the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] is found to belong to [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], who is ordered to dispose of it by [[Charles Montgomery Burns|Mr. Burns]]. After failing to persuade [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu]] to take it, the yogurt falls into the hands of the bullies. Homer then unwittingly gives away Milhouse to the bullies, who throw both Homer and Milhouse into a dumpster.

-Meanwhile, [[Marge Simpson|Marge]] had forgotten about the bake sale, and only has a half hour to make her raisin sponge cake. She has to go to the market to buy raisins but there's only one box, which [[Helen Lovejoy]] refuses to give up. Marge is seen purchasing the raisins as an apparently semiconscious Helen is seen being taken to the hospital by EMTs. At home, to save time, Marge drastically increases the oven temperature to 1,200 degrees, burning the cake and making it rock-solid. She attempts to cover it up with pink and white frosting before leaving for the bake sale. She accidentally drops the cake when getting out of the car (which makes it fall onto the car hood, denting it, and eventually the ground). She cannot repair it, so she just pats a bit of the icing flatter. Unsurprisingly, no one shows any interest in her cake.

-At Jimbo's house, the three bullies make a powerful stink bomb from the expired yogurt (referred as TCBY) (along with other ingredients such as roadkill, burnt hair, Jimbo's sister's retainer case, six weeks of bottled farts, possum placenta and sweat from a walk-around Goofy-suit), and plan on detonating it at the bake sale. After Milhouse's failed attempt to track the bullies, Lisa suggests that [[Bart Simpson|Bart]] help them, which he does after negotiating immunity from punishment for all his past and future pranks. Bart breaks in to Jimbo's house but can't find the roller coaster room. During his investigation, Bart's phone call is accidentally crossed with a call from [[Jack Bauer]] of ''[[24]]'' and turns it into a [[Bart's prank calls|prank call]] against him. After finding out about the stink bomb, Bart returns to the school to tell Lisa, but is knocked out and captured by Martin, who turned out to be the bullies' mole.

 At the bake sale, the bullies start the three-minute timer for the bomb. Bart, locked in the ventilation room, contacts Lisa by his cell phone and shows her a picture of the stink bomb, telling her to have Principal Skinner dump the hot dog water and short circuit the ventilation fan. Skinner fills up the room with the water. Running out of air, Bart attempts to swim out, but cannot break through the room's only window. Chief Wiggum tries to shoot through the glass (accidentally aiming at Bart's face each time), but the glass is bulletproof.
