-The book becomes a success, but Lisa is worried that she did not have time to read the book before it went to the printers. [[Marge]] decides to read the book and is not happy about what Lisa wrote. Lisa explained that someone had modified the text and Bart acknowledges that he did it. Marge wants to stop the printing but when she gets the first check of $45,000 she quickly changes her mind. Lisa gets a new style and becomes popular, but after a while, Lisa is not on the best seller list and she returns to her normal self. The family sits down and watches TV where they discover that Bart was paid to get the viewers to believe that he knew  the truth about one of Mayor Quimby's illicit relationships and revealed that he is only a ten year old boy pulling a prank. Quimby calls Bart and thanks him for what he did, then Bart apologizes to his family about his scandal, Lisa also admits guilt. The next day Lisa inaugurates a bookstore where [[Troy McClure]] comes and says he wrote the book and Lisa plagiarized it.
