Plot

Lisa, excited to share her "Who Inspires You?" project with the class, creates a rap about her topic that exceeds the time limit set by Miss Hoover for the entire class. When Hoover gives her and the rest of the class a B-, Lisa calls her a hack and refuses to apologize. She is sent to detention, where the bullies are mean to her until Bart shoos them off with a stink bomb and suggests that Lisa tell Hoover she is "soggy" instead of "sorry". Lisa tries it, but Hoover sees through her trick and becomes mad at her.

Groundskeeper Willie suggests that Lisa try to say "sorry". Lisa tries, but she just cannot do it, so she decides to follow Hoover home. After riding on a multitude of run-down or dirty vehicles to follow her, and even riding down a hill on a cardboard box (something Hoover does to not hurt her back), Lisa sees what Hoover's terrible life is like, and takes pity on her. She buys Hoover a new chair with a footrest, and says that she is sorry. Hoover is reluctant to accept her apology until she realizes that the chair can massage her.
