She Used to Be My Girl is the fourth episode of Season 16 (originally going to be an episode of Season 15 in production order).
Synopsis[]
Marge bumps into an old high-school acquaintance who is now a successful news reporter. While Marge becomes jealous of her friend's success and wonders what may have been had she not stayed with Homer, Lisa becomes inspired by this new, strong woman.
Full Story[]
A media circus swarms over the story that Joe Quimby has twenty-seven lawsuits filed against him. Chloe Talbot is one of these journalists. She spends more time with Lisa. Marge also wonders if she made the right decision by marrying Homer rather than going on to pursue a career in journalism. When Lisa spends too much time with Chloe, Marge gets ticked off at her and they fight for Lisa's affections. Afterwards, Marge doesn't allow her daughter to go on a trip to the U.N. Women's Conference with Chloe. Lisa skips school and hides in her trunk to go with her. Along the way, Chloe gets a call to report from the erupting volcano and drives to it. Marge and Homer go to where she was heading, but can't find Lisa or Chloe. On a big-screen TV, they see her report and they see Lisa with her. When they get there, Marge saves Lisa from the lava and Barney, Chloe's old boyfriend, saves her with his helicopter.
During the end credits, an alternate version of the volcano scene is shown, where Lisa is in Chloe's car. And when Chloe discovers her, Lisa prays to the Buddha, Jesus, and SpongeBob saying, "There's no time to be picky!" SpongeBob says, "Screw her!" and does his crazy laugh. The white credits continue as normal.
