Full story[]

Homer sits in front of the TV, watching in 'Million Dollar Li$ting: Springfield,' observing potential buyers vying for Burns' manor, beer in hand. Meanwhile, Marge approaches and suggests a visit to Moe's, as she plans to host a book club that evening. At the book club, amidst the unanimous boredom over the book, Brandine surprises everyone by displaying an uncharacteristically high level of intelligence, leaving the other members astonished.

The following morning, word begins to spread at the First Church of Springfield and the fishing shack, reaching Cletus about her newfound intelligence, with Agnes presenting her Old Springfield Library card as proof. Simultaneously, at school, Lisa presents her report to Miss Hoover regarding men receiving credit for women's contributions in science, only to be reprimanded and dismissed to her seat for challenging the teacher. Meanwhile, two students are caught exchanging notes, labeling her as "one of them."

At Cletus's farm, Cletus confronts Brandine who admits the truth. Following a tornado that scattered some books, she began reading, watching ballet, and pursuing self-education at the Springfield Athenaeum. Cletus, observing her transformation, no longer sees the woman he once loved, leading to their separation. Their children, unwilling to embrace this new lifestyle, abandon her. Brandine arrives at the Simpsons' house which she has been rejected by Cletus who thinks it's funny.

At Swapper Jack's, Marge receives a harsh reality check from everyone about possibly finding someone better than Homer. Concurrently, Brandine recounts the tale of how she and Cletus met, sharing a hay bale at her sister's wedding. Elsewhere, Lisa faces bullying at school, but she gets away from the bullies to make way for an escape route, leading her to the "League of Extraordinary Geniuses." While Lisa was hiding inside their hideout, the bullies ran away with a trick.

Back home, during dinner, Brandine wants to return to her children while Bart and Lisa recount the stories from the day at school and then she cries. Later, in bed, Marge tells Homer to speak to Cletus to fix this problem for Brandine, which only heightens his concerns for their marriages.
