Plot

When Marge forgets to bring Homer his lunch, she rushes to the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant to get it to him and the two end up hanging out. Marge posts a picture on Facelook (a parody of Facebook) of Homer eating an ice cream outside the plant with the caption of "The Nuclear Power Plant is having a meltdown." Mr. Burns sees this and fires Homer for the hate speech despite Smithers' insistence it's simply a play on words. Homer gets a job back at a Greek diner he worked when he was 14 and has the time of his life, until he realizes how little the pay is.

Meanwhile, Lisa is in a coding class. After Homer's firing, she pitches an idea for an app that can predict the effects of a social media post. Her teacher is impressed and starts a female exclusive coding company in the Simpsons house along with Comic Book Guy. The app is named Conrad featuring a British voice telling people how the effects of their social media post will be. This was experimented on Bart who gets five weeks of detention for sharing a humiliating video of Principal Skinner. Conrad then starts talking to Lisa convincing her he's actually alive and is panicking from the pressure he'll receive having to predict people's posts. One of Lisa's co-coders simply says she's imagining it because of the sleepless nights. Conrad convinces Lisa he's real at an app convention and Lisa prevents it from going live. Later on, it is revealed by Lisa to the rest of the family that Conrad has hacked into the power plant's files and learned of some corrupt information which Conrad uses to blackmails Mr. Burns into giving Homer his job back.

During the credits, Homer performing a Greek dance he learned at the diner back in his workplace as he envisions various Greek people either watching him or dancing with him. Watching this on the security footage, Mr. Burns saying he's having a meltdown much to the shock of Mr. Smithers.
