 The episode garnered scrutiny from the {{W2|Catholic League|U.S.}}, an American Catholic anti-defamation and civil rights organization, because of the scene wherein the Simpsons are on their way home from church when Bart says "I'm starving. Mom, can we go Catholic so we can get Communion wafers and booze?" Marge replies "No, no one is going Catholic. Three children is enough, thank you."<ref>[http://web.archive.org/web/20101214073029/http://catholicleague.org/catalyst.php?year=1999&month=January-February&read=719 Catholic League - "THE SIMPSONS" GETS TOO CUTE (via The Wayback Machine)]</ref>

 Lisa completes the tests with Nelson's answers and gets an A+++. Later she is summoned to Skinner's office. He tells her that her A+++ increased to the school's GPA allowing the school to receive an assistance grant. Lisa admits to Skinner that she cheated. Both he and Chalmers agree that Lisa's cheating should be kept quiet so that they can still get the grant money. At the ceremony Lisa comes up to the stage and confesses to cheating. The comptroller decides to give the school the money anyway to reward Lisa's honesty. All the family, except for Bart, leave the auditorium. It is then revealed that the ceremony was fake and the comptroller was really [[Otto]] wearing a mask. The real ceremony takes place without Lisa's knowledge and the [[State Comptroller Atkins|real comptroller]] gives the school their grant money.

 Meanwhile, Homer buys a small live lobster at the grocery store and fattens him up with plans to feed him to the entire family. When it's time to eat him, Homer has a change of heart and keeps the lobster as a pet naming him Mr. Pinchy. Homer unwittingly gives Mr. Pinchy a hot bath only to have boiled him to death. Homer mourns Mr. Pinchy's death by eating the lobster by himself, saying that Pinchy "would've wanted it this way", and sobbing all the while.
