This long-running animated comedy focuses on the eponymous family in the town of Springfield in an unnamed U.S. state. The head of the Simpson family, Homer, is not a typical family man. A nuclear-plant employee, he does his best to lead his family but often finds that they are leading him. The family includes loving, blue-haired matriarch Marge, troublemaking son Bart, overachieving daughter Lisa and baby Maggie. Other Springfield residents include the family's religious neighbor, Ned Flanders, family physician Dr. Hibbert, Moe the bartender and police chief Clancy Wiggum.

When Lisa discovers that her Southern ancestors helped a slave escape to freedom, she presents the story during Black History Month.

Homer and Marge have a parent-teacher conference with Principal Skinner after Bart fails to turn in his homework.

Bart and his classmate, Nikki (guest voice Sarah Silverman), develop a flirtatious rapport; first lady Michelle Obama (guest voice Angela Bassett) comes to Lisa's defense when she is ostracized for being an overachiever.

Flanders invites the Simpson family to a church retreat in Jerusalem in hopes of redeeming Homer.
