 Bart plans to reveal what he witnessed, but Seymour and Edna fear that they would be fired if anyone found out and they swear him to secrecy. They hire him as their gofer so they can secretly exchange messages. Bart agrees for a while because the reward for his cooperation is that [[Milhouse Van Houten]] will inherit Bart's poor school record. Eventually, Bart grows frustrated about his home, school and social life continually being interrupted to help them advance their relationship, putting him in embarrassing situations. One afternoon at school, after he is embarrassed in front of his classmates by having to say one of Seymour's messages to Edna out loud, Bart becomes furious after his classmates ridicule him and he bitterly responds by gathering the entire school in front of a janitor's closet and opens the door to reveal that Seymour and Edna are kissing.
-Word quickly spreads throughout Springfield, with the story growing more illicit and exaggerated with each passing turn. An appalled [[Chief Wiggum]], upon hearing his son [[Ralph Wiggum|Ralph]]'s version of the events, alerts [[Superintendent Chalmers|Superintendent Gary Chalmers]]. Chalmers gives Seymour an ultimatum – end the relationship or have both of them face dismissal. Seymour decides that love is stronger than his professional goals, so Chalmers fires him and Edna, expecting them to leave at the end of the day.

 Bart learns that the couple have lost their jobs and shows remorse for them. After Seymour apologizes to Bart for embarrassing him, Bart encourages the former principal to stand up for himself. Seymour and Edna lock down the school, call the media and make their demands: They want their jobs back and the townspeople to not interfere with their relationship. However, several residents (specifically [[Maude Flanders]]) rebuke with the accusation about the two having sexual intercourse in the janitor's closet. Seymour insists nothing of the sort happened and that he is a virgin. Everyone accepts the explanation since no one would ever lie about being a 44 year old virgin. Chalmers agrees to reinstate Seymour and Edna as though nothing ever happened. The couple decide to continue their relationship more privately than ever by convincing Bart that they have broken up after thanking him for helping them. But at the end of the episode it is revelaed they presumably do have sex in the janitors closet.

-[[Martin Prince, Jr.]] invites his classmates to his birthday party, but the gathering turns out to be incredibly boring. To cap off the poorly received party, things come to an end when everyone becomes ill with food poisoning that was caused by serving oysters instead of cake. In the meantime, [[Seymour Skinner|Principal Seymour Skinner]] and [[Edna Krabappel]] attend and have a conversation which leads to them discovering that they have romantic feelings for each other. They end up kissing in Martin's pink playhouse in an act witnessed by [[Bart Simpson]] (one of the few to escape the poisoning, Lisa did too but feigned sickness so she could leave with an excuse).
