Lisa's wedding
On a renaissance fair, Lisa walks into a gypsy's
tent who proposes to tell her her future. At first cynical, Lisa
decides to listen anyway, as the gypsy tells her the story of her first
loves. When she comes out of the tent and looks back she sees that it
has disappeared...
At university Lisa needs to borrow a book
from the library, to find that the last copy of it has already been lent
out to a Hugh Parkfield, a rich English man, who has previously already
been bugging Lisa by taking the last of things. They decide to read the
book together to see who reads the fastest, but by the end skip the
reading and start making out. Hugh invites her to stay at his parents'
country estate, where he proposes to her, and she accepts, gladly. They
decide to hold the wedding in Springfield, which means Hugh and his
family get to meet Lisa’s family, which makes her slightly nervous, even
more so because his family seems to not like the Simpsons. As it comes
apparent to Lisa that Hugh will never accept her family the way they
are, and that he intends to take her away from it all to never return,
Lisa calls of the wedding and chooses for her family.
Bart to the Future
In an Indian casino, Bart gets pulled aside because he is too young
to be there. In the owner's office, Bart is told to look into the fire,
where his future is shown to him. A future that Bart actually quite
likes, even though it was meant to make him change his ways.
Bart and Ralph Wiggum share a house/slump together and are trying to
make it big in the music world, but so far things aren't going too
good. When he finally does get a gig, his amp's in hock, so he needs to
get some money. After Homer and Ned turn him down, he decides to go to
his sister, the president elect of the United States. She doesn't at
all like her presence at the White House, but has no chance but to
tolerate it at least for a while. While Homer goes in search of
Lincoln's gold (which is a metaphor, btw), Lisa decides to raise taxes
to help the US out of it's debt, but when she's addressing the public
Bart comes in to interrupt her, so she sends Bart of to Camp David,
where he meets the ghost of President Carter, who tells him to go back.
Back at the White House Bart manages to fence of an argument that could
have resulted into another World War, and to pay him back, Lisa
legalizes 'it'.
Future-Drama
While fighting, Lisa and Bart roll into professor Frink's house. he
then shows them what their future will be like as brother and sister,
Lisa being a bit more interested in it than Bart. In the end we learn
that the brother-sister bond will prevail, and Bart will find true love,
but he'll also die one minute after.
On their prom night, which is the same night since Lisa is graduating 2
years early, Bart proposes to his girlfriend Jenda. She doesn't accept
and they break up because Bart has no future planned. Lisa went to the
prom with a muscular Milhouse, mainly because she owed him for saving
her life, but they also break up. Bart is really sad about losing Jenda,
so he takes a job at the Kwik-E-Mart to show he has a future and win her
back. He has to deliver some groceries to Mr. Burns who is at that
moment being robbed, and saves the old man's life. Out of gratitude,
Mr. burns gives him the scholarship that was meant to go to Lisa. Bart
gets Jenda back because of it, and Lisa is left with no prospects for
the future, except ending with Milhouse. Bart and Jenda walk by
professor Frink's house where Bart takes a look at the machine that
shows the future, and learns from it that Lisa will be miserable with
Milhouse, so he pulls her away from him at the moment that they would
share a kiss, and lets her know that he is giving the Yale scholarship
back to her.
In the mean time Homer and Marge have split up because Homer bought an
underwater house, and Marge starts something with Krusty. Homer is
jealous, and picks a fight, but ends up beaten up by the clown.
Strangely enough this wins Marge back, and she realises that an
underwater house can be romantic.
