[edit] Plot
On an ordinary day in school, Lisa attempts to make friends with a new girl, Francine, but Francine beats up Lisa severely. Even attempting to share an interest in Malibu Stacy does not work when Francine steals and ruins her Malibu Stacy doll. Lisa hires the school bullies (Nelson, Dolph, Jimbo, and Kearney) to protect her, but they refuse since girls fight dirtier than boys (and sometimes, they fall in love). It is up to Lisa to investigate the reason why Francine is beating her up.
Meanwhile, Homer, fearing Maggie could die from touching things unsafe to her when he hears this from a baby-proofing saleswoman, starts his own baby-proofing crusade, selling cheap but safe and effective products and making Springfield safe for children, but it causes the baby-injury-related industries in Springfield to be in decline.
Lisa does scientific research on nerds, and finds out that the odour of chemical nerd pheromone "poindextrose" attracts bullies like Francine, proving that both nerds and bullies are predisposed to be what they are. Lisa then tests the "poindextrose" extracted from the nerds on Drederick Tatum when he visits Springfield Elementary, which causes Nelson to start punching him uncontrollably. Lisa demonstrates her experiment at Professor Frink's science contest, the "12th Annual Big Science Thing", using the antidote on herself and making Francine peaceful and friendly towards her, the antidote being just salad dressing which covers up the smell of the poindextrose. At the end, the salad dressing runs out and Francine goes on a rampage beating up all the scientists in the room.
