 When [[Mr. Burns]] is informed that the [[Springfield Nuclear Power Plant]] has run out of room to store waste plutonium, [[Smithers]] is told to hide some of the radioactive matter in [[Homer]]'s Duff gym bag. Later that day, Homer forgets the bag in a train station and it is spotted as an unnattended bag. It is seen as a threat and blown up, and revealed that the bag contained plutonium. The incident sparks fears of terrorism, and the town votes to hire a British security consultant named [[Nigel Bakerbutcher]] to install surveillance cameras all around Springfield, although Lisa protests and is mocked about her hair color.
-Marge gives Lisa a book named ''[[Sally Circle in Rectangu-land]]'', which Lisa finds unambitious. Later Lisa and Bart watch ''{{Krusty show}}'' which includes [[Krusty]] telling jokes about blondes.
+Marge gives Lisa a book named ''[[Sally Circle in Rectangu-land]]'', which Lisa finds unambitious. Later Lisa and Bart watch ''{{Krusty show}}'' which includes [[Krusty]] telling jokes about blondes, and so Lisa dyes her hair into brown.
 Soon the entire town is being watched, but [[Chief Wiggum]] and the other officers tire of watching the surveillance screens. Wiggum gets [[Lou]] and [[Eddie]] to recruit seven of the townspeople — including [[Marge]] and [[Ned Flanders]] — to keep watch. Eventually only Marge and Flanders are left, but Marge is not comfortable watching the activities of her fellow townspeople and goes home, which leaves Ned to discover he enjoys being Springfield's "conscience" and proceeds to nag everyone through loudspeakers on the cameras, somewhat abusing his powers.

 After stopping illegal wagering in Moe's Tavern, Ned frustrates Bart with his constant nagging which makes Bart show his butt to the camera. He notices this has no effect on Ned, and discovers the Simpsons' back yard is a blind spot. Soon, he and Homer are charging the townsfolk to use the yard to relax and do anything they want. Marge asks Homer what is happening and voices her disapproval to herself outside the blind spot. Ned overhears the conversation and uses [[Rod]] to find the blind spot.
-At the next debate meeting, Lisa (who is wearing a brunette wig), intentionally presents a weak argument and when the judges enthusiastically agree with her, she points out that they judged her on her hair color rather than the strength of her debate skills, and notes that there are exceptions to every stereotype. Not all blondes are stupid and not all fat people are jolly, including [[Comic Book Guy]], and just as she says that not all old people are bad drivers, though, [[Grampa]] crashes his car through the wall of the gym where the meeting is being held, ruining her argument.

 When Ned confronts Homer, Homer points out that because Ned won't let anyone do anything all their pent up desires have been focused into this one small point and that he is playing [[God]]. Ned is troubled by this and admits that he got carried away with his nagging, and he and Homer proceed to destroy every security camera in town.
