| − | {{spoiler}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | [[Lisa Simpson|Lisa]] tries to solve a brain teaser, and she fails. She also cannot solve a proper math question, and loses her saxophone technique. These things point to evidence that Lisa fears she is losing her gift of intelligence. When she tells about this to [[Abraham Simpson|Grampa]], he tells her that all the members of the [[Simpson family]]—including himself, [[Homer Simpson|Homer]], and [[Bart Simpson|Bart]]—started smart at first, but later became dumber, as part of the "Simpson genes". Eventually, Lisa becomes dumb like the rest of the family, but she rejects her newfound idiocy.

| − | She appears on ''Smartline'' and demands that the citizens of [[Springfield]] treasure their brains. As she does this, Homer brings all the Simpson family relatives to come to the house as an indication that the whole family is not a bunch of idiots. Lisa actually learns that when the relatives visit, all the men are stupid, and all the women are smart, and realizes that the "[[Simpson Gene]]" only exists on the Y chromosome. She regains her confidence in being smart, and solves the brain teaser that she could not solve before.

| − | Meanwhile, [[Jasper Beardley|Jasper]] visits the [[Kwik-E-Mart]] because he wants to freeze himself in the walk-in cooler so he can survive to see the future. [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon|Apu]] sees a money-making opportunity and advertising the frozen Jasper as "Frostilicus" renames the Kwik-E-Mart the Freak-E-Mart, which becomes a tourist trap. The Freak-E-Mart lasts briefly until the freezer fails, and Jasper thaws and emerges alive and well. Fearing he will lose his customers, Apu makes the Kwik-E-Mart into the Nude-E-Mart, a combination of a convenience store and a strip club.

| − | ==Trivia==
| |
| − | * Although many of the Simpsons' relatives appear in the episode, absent is Homer's half-brother [[Herb Powell]], who appeared in the earlier episodes [[Oh Brother, Where Art Thou?]] and [[Brother, Can You Spare Two Dimes?]]. Most likely because he seems unaffected by the Simpson gene defect (he was born from a different mother, which would make him Homer's half-brother). His appearance would spoil the theory that all male members are affected.

| − | *This episode also contradictes the episode [[Itchy & Scratchy: The Movie]] as the epilogue of said episode reveals that Bart becomes the Chief Justice of the Supreme court.
| |
| − | | |
| − | *Just before Lisa replies to the editorial on the news, [[Kent Brockman]] is shown with white hair, a blue tie, a tan shirt and a red jacket. When they cut back to him after the report, he has grey hair, a red tie, a white shirt and a brown jacket.
