According to his longtime collaborators on ''The Simpsons'', [[Al Jean]] and [[Mike Reiss]], Swartzwelder is a huge fan of [[Preston Sturges]] films and loves "anything old-timey American." This vaguely defined aesthetic presents itself in many of the episodes he's written, in the form of wandering hobos, Prohibition-era speakeasies, carnies, 19th-century baseball players, aging Western movie stars, and Sicilian gangsters.

When Lisa went to school in Marge's old clothes, Devin and Vidalia went to Lisa to review her outfit. The two fashion club members then declared that Lisa's outfit worked, and she was hoisted up by the children of Springfield Elementary. Devin and Vidalia then invited Lisa into the fashion club. The fashion club made plans to hang out with Lisa on Saturday, which was the same day as Nostalgi-Con, which Marge wanted to go to with Lisa. However, Lisa told Marge that she'd go with her anyway.

Devin then told Lisa that his mother had set fire to a piano store to get the attention of a news anchor. They then invited Lisa to a party, which turned out to be playing board games at the Wiggum house, which confused Lisa. Shortly after they started playing, Lisa was told that they were leaving.
