Jessica Lovejoy

Jessica Lovejoy, voiced by Meryl Streep, is the rebellious daughter of Reverend Lovejoy and Helen Lovejoy, who made her first appearance in Bart's Girlfriend. As voiced by Bart, she has an IQ of 108. She was Bart's second crush and proved to be more troublesome than even Bart could be. Bart enjoys the trouble they start, but realizes she is going too far. She went too far after stealing the church collection plate money. Bart was framed by Jessica and the town hated him for it. The town would think he was responsible had Lisa not exposed Jessica as the real culprit. When the money is found in Jessica's room, Reverend Lovejoy theorizes that Bart must have snuck in. Jessica admits to the theft while her father explains that he must have brought her out of boarding school too early. Jessica reminds him that she was expelled from boarding school.

In a later non-speaking appearance in I, D'oh-Bot, she and her father were participants in a robot fighting competition. Their creation, a centipede-like machine, was defeated by "Chief Knock-A-Homer", Homer and Bart's entry.

She had another non-speaking appearance in Marge Gamer playing soccer against Lisa.

It is unknown why Jessica does not make regular appearances, like the other children of Springfield. It is possible that, after the events of Bart's Girlfriend, she was sent to a boarding school for bad children and only returns to Springfield occasionally.

Bart says she is Sweet on the outside but poison on the inside, much like a Milk Dud.
