 === Subplot ===
-A baby protection company visit the Simpsons household, to tell [[Homer]] and [[Marge]] how unsafe their house is for babies. Homer kicks the representative out after being told the outragous costs to baby-proof their home. He decides to protect [[Maggie]] himself, and is so successful that he decides to open his own baby protection business. This causes all the baby injury related industries in Springfield to go into decline.

 A new kid named [[Francine Rhenquist]] comes to school and she is very shy, so [[Lisa]] decides to talk to her, but is beaten up. Lisa continually tries to find methods to become the new girl's friend, but is always beaten up. Lisa then tries to enlist the aid of the other bullies, but they refuse to beat up a girl. Lisa wonders why Francine only picks on the geeks and nerds, a question to which [[Nelson]] can provide no answer.
-Lisa asks [[Groundskeeper Willie]] if she could see the schools security tapes for any clues. She notices that Francine seems to know where Lisa is, and sometimes doesn't attack her at all. [[Wendell]] then pukes and [[Groundskeeper Willie|Willie]] leaves to take care of it. Lisa realises that Francine was nice to her because the girl had nose plugs in. Francine then enters the room and beats her up. Willie then gives a thumbs up at the camera.

 Lisa then has [[Martin]], [[Milhouse]], and [[Database]] exercise to collect their sweat. She brings the sweat samples to Bart's classroom, where [[Dredrick Tatum]] is giving a lecture. She convinces him to let her swab a small amount of the sweat on him - this causes Nelson to involuntarily stand up and try to beat up the former heavyweight champ, unable to control his fists. Lisa takes her findings to the '12th annual big science thing' where she reveals the cause of why bullies beat up nerds.
