stalker: the simpsons
Disclaimer: I do not own the Simpsons or it's characters.
Chapter 5,
This is a continuation of Lisa's profile, within the second season.
Lisa gets another A but she doesn't want to tell her dad because she is convinced that he doesn't care. And yet she had the paper on her person when she was questioned.
Was it really necessary for her to be carrying the paper, when she could have gotteb it real quick? This shows pride in her work, and possibly a bit of snobbish behavior in the fact that she felt the need to carry it as a reminder of how smart she is.
Lisa knows that Bart is faking his illness to get out of his test. I think she was trying to warn Bart not to drag the charade on, but since Bart was rude to her, she was rude back.
I do like the fact that Lisa heard Bart praying, and she waited to confront him until the next day. She gently reminds Bart that he prayed for the blizzard.
And honestly, I think this was my first clue that Lisa wasn't created as a Buddhist, because she talked about God's power.
I want to take a moment to say that, not being a Buddhist myself, I don't really know how the Buddhist religion and the Christian religion differ from each other; so I hope that doesn't effect later chapters of Lisa.
I suppose it is funny for Lisa to ask for no mood swings and stability in her life then turn around and accept the promise of a pony. I know that Lisa has always wanted one, but receiving on isn't exactly stability. Although one could agrue that the time, effort, and care that comes with owning a horse could provide a little stability.
Lisa watches her father mourn the loss of his Dimoxinil, but she isn't surprised at his sad display.
Despite Lisa's worry about her getting so scared that she will recieve nightmares, she doesn't mind telling ghost stories. Perhaps she makes an exception for Halloween, but I think she just wants to try and scare Bart.
Lisa reads 'The Raven' to Bart and Bart calls it a school book. Now this could be a library book that Lisa checked out for Halloween, or it could be a book that she owns.
If this is a library book, which is the most likely case, then Lisa may be comfortable reading scary stories. If this is the case, and we remember that she listens and tells scary stories, then perhaps graphic imaging is the only thing that gives her bad dreams/scares her.
Although if Lisa doesn't own anything by Edger Allen Poe, then surely she would get something later in the show and/or later in life.
Lisa and Bart are shown fishing, and it is clear that their fishing poles are handmade but she uses no bait, because she doesn't care about the actual catching of the fish.
It makes me wonder why she doesn't put a cork on her line, or perhaps why she didn't simply read a book while her brother fished.
And when approached, they have no problems with speaking to the man they didn't know. And I realize that Springfield is a pretty close community, but with characters such as Fat Tony, Mr. Burns, Snake, or sometimes Slideshow Bob, you would think that overprotective Marge would have taught them something about stranger-danger.
Now you do see Lisa in the background of Bart's picture with Blinky. It raises the question 'why is she in the photo?'. Now it's possible that the reporter simply asked to take Bart's picture and Lisa didn't realize that she was in the background. This would explain her distance from her brother in the picture.
If Lisa did know that she was being photographed then perhaps she is there for attention; or maybe even her frown is an indicator that she is objecting to something. It could be objection to her brother catching Blinky or at the reporter for documenting; regardless, it depends on why she was in the picture.
She does get excited when her parents start having a political discussion. Which makes sense because Lisa is an adult in a kids body, so a little grownup discussion is probably really refreshing to her. Not to mention the fact that Marge can be passive and Homer can be... dense.
Throughout this political feud, it seems to be boys against girls. I know that Lisa wants to protect the environment and hates Burns and his nuclear plant, I wonder if Lisa was a Mary Bailey fan before Burns entered the election.
Lisa is forced to assist Mr. Burns campaign by asking a memorized question. This leaves her feeling awful and used; which this feeling can motivate her to stand up for her beliefs in the future. And when Mr. Burns and Smithers start wreaking the Simpson house, because of their political loss, Lisa is the one who convinces them to leave. Later it seems pretty clear that Lisa isn't a very sporty girl, but here we see Lisa excited about baseball. She seems to admire the game and what it stands for, so that's nice.
When Homer is on the Jumbotron with his zipper down, you can clearly see Lisa hiding her facr in embarrassment, which makes sense.
After Mr. Burns sad attempt of a pitch, the Simpson family begin to make fun of him. I found it interesting that Lisa had no problem with Bart insulting Mr. Burns by comparing him to Lisa's sporting ability. This is suppose to imply that Lisa is horrible at sports and she herself cannot deny it.
Bleeding Gums Murphy sings the National Anthem and being a blues/jazz-man he sings it with a lot of soul. There is a clock next to his head and it shows that he sung the song for 26 minutes and by the end Lisa was the only one who was happy. This is probably only because she was friends with Bleeding Gums.
If Lisa heard Jimbo Jones singing the Anthem for 26 minutes, she would probably be as tired as the rest of the audience.
Lisa normally oppodes situations in which Homer and Bart are screaming at others, but here she is joining them. Actually if memory serves,she is seen shouting at baseball players a few times later in the show.
Dancing to boost crowd morale, Lisa is once again shown hiding her face in embarrassment. Though this display works and Lisa, like the others, is surprised that after 26 losses in a row their team won.
Seeing Homer in his mascot costume, again, she doesn't look surprised. It seems that Lisa is pretty accepting of her her father's unpredictable behavior.
Lisa comments that she thought that she would live her whole life in Springfield, and this surprised me a little. Mostly because Lisa seems like the type of person to want to leave Springfield, but also because in episodes predicting the future, it seems like Lisa is never in Springfield. She also states that everyone in Springfield has forgiven the Simpsons, and when she said this I thought of episodes where Bart cut off Jebidiah's head off.
She realizes that others may not be so willing to forgive her family so she is obviously worried about moving. But she is quick to change her opinion when Marge says that being 'Dancing Homer' could be Homer's reason for existance.
Lisa is shown saying goodbye to 6 other girls dispite the fact that no one in that group cares about her leaving and she won't miss them. It seems like this scene was only placed as a reminder if Lisa's social status. Which, honestly, we don't need a reminder, especially since Lisa can be pretty independent on her own.
Lisa's brief exposer to Capital City seemed to have sparked something within Lisa. Perhaps this trip has made Lisa crave for the larger things in life. Of course, she cheers Homer and does her best to make Homer feel better.
Lisa is shown laughing at Ned's apology letter to Homer. It's a little odd how she can flip from her empathetic nature to a 'stereotypical Simpson'. Of course at this stage in her life, we haven't seen her be really strong-headed, or political; so perhaps here we can say that her character is still developing.
Lisa decides to study for a 'math fair' instead of going mini-golfing. Which is fine, but I have a feeling that Lisa will be attending this fair alone for obvious reasons.
Lisa watches Homer train Bart with worry, but she doesn't attempt to stop the training or to question Homer on his motives.
Bart hints that Lisa plays chess, but if she does, I can't help but wonder who she would play with. The first name that comes to mind is Martin and he is two years older than her, so I don't know how well the two would interact.
Anyways, Lisa doesn't seem to envy Bart for having Homer's attention, but it is clear that she practically feels invisible to him. I bet she feels as if Maggie will out shine her when she gets older, but again, there is a bit of sad acceptance of Homer's behavior.
But knowing how sad Bart is, she is quick to help him; and like most things in her life, the answers are in the library.
Clearly Lisa has a deep love of books, and Lisa is instantly recognized by the library workers and the regulars, which shows how much she goes there. Being an advanced reader, Lisa probably goes to the local library more then the school library because of their materials. She seems to know where everything is and that speeds their trip along.
Lisa then begins setting Bart on a tranquil journey to help the mental part of the game. Once she struck a cord, they head to the golf course and she tells Bart where to hit the ball in order to get a hole in one.
She is shown helping Bart on what appears to be several days. When it rains she wears a full body rain suit and holds an umbrella over her and Bart's heads. It makes me wonder if being wet is a pet peeve of Lisa's. Honestly I have nothing against the rain. I walked to my high school because it was so close and on rainy days, I would keep my hood down and enjoy the feeling of it. Heck, I even teased my old boyfriend for hdi g an umbrella on days he didn't have to wear his JROTC uniform.
Moving on, Lisa trains Bart extremely well so obviously you can ser why Bart and Lisa get annoyed with Homer barking orders. She helps Bart study the course and this is probably where I realized that if Lisa helped Bart study for school then he could do a lot better. But Bart doesn't like to study, so why are both children working so we together? Probably because they both realize that this game is very important to Homer. It seems like both crave his attention when the opportunity arrives, or perhaps they simply are trying to 'keep the peace' and let him stay happy.
Golfing is a sport, especially to those who love it, but I was surprised that Lisa was treating Bart like an athlete. Since golf, to my knowledge, has a lot of mental instead of physical attributes. And before the final game starts, Lisa wants to sound supportive, but is worried because she doesn't kniw how to sound because no one ever encouraged her. Although I understand where she is coming from, I can't help but remember Marge telling her to always be herself, which is encouragement.
Lisa says that watching Homer and Ned mow the lawns in dresses can be something she tells a psychiatrist. This comment seems to say that, even though she may not be surprised at Homer's actions, they still take their toll on the poor girl.
Lisa is willing to fight with Bart over glue because she knows that Bart doesn't really want it. Though when she hands Bart the glue to prove her point, he just throws it. If she knew that was going to be his reaction, then why on earth did she bother fighting with him to begin with?
Lisa shows her feminist pride again, with her centerpiece which has women who helped shape the country. She is certainly glad that Maggie colors it a little, so perhaps the two of them can work on projects together.
Lisa loves attention for doing something good, which may be why she decided to create this centerpiece to begin with. But, she is bashful, as is the polite way to act.
Lisa is understandably upset, when Bart burns her centerpiece and she is so emotional that she attacks him without caring how her family would react.
Lisa cries as she plays her saxophone, and it's still good, but from what my dad has told me, about playing a wind instrument like that, you have to vibrate your lips or something to that effect. Not sure if crying would make this better or worse, but her music sounded relatively the same.
She also decides to write a poem to express her feelings to her family so that they know exactly what she felt. This could have something to do with Lisa not getting enough attention and feeling unheard on a regular basis.
Lisa asks Bart if he burned her centerpiece because he hates her. This question always made me crook an eyebrow. Because this isn't something she thought of after Bart ran away, it couldn't be. This has got to be something she has thought about several times, which is why she looks so worried when she asks. But Lisa loves Bart and is quick to forgive him when he apologies to her.
You know Lisa objected Homer's idea to go to Dr. Monroe's for family therapy because his commercial was on 'pro-wrestling'. So when she says that history changed wrestling forever, she actually looks sad. Perhaos Lisa started watching matches after their session.
Lisa thinks Bart is ridiculous for thinking that the match is a real fight, and she is quick to alter his mind.
Also, in this scene, you can see Lisa holding a book as Bart and his friends watch the fight. Why is she hanging out with the guys? Whatever her reason, if she did this often, it would explain one of the reasons why Milhouse likes Lisa.
Lisa looks hurt when Homer forgot her recital, probably because that will be her first solo. Of course Lisa doesn't want Homer to miss it and it seems like Lisa is a bit dramatic when she is disappointed. I mean, asking for a therapist? Come on, Lisa.
But she specifically wants her father at her concerts which can and doesn't make sense. On one hand, Homer doesn't like most of the things that Lisa likes; and on the other hand, she tries multiple times to expand Homer's mind and horizon.
While playing her solo, I noticed that Lisa always closes her eyes when she plays her little heart out. Perhaps it's just an 'in tge zone' type of deal, but in Moaning Lisa she closed her eyea when playing the blues and kept her eyes open for 'My Country Tis of Thee'.
When I first saw this, I was confused on why Lisa started floating at the end of her concert. Of course, I always imagine this scene, when Homer is running to the car and Lisa yells at him to make him turn back so she can bow with the others. But Lisa seems to feel pride when Homer is muttering music from her concert. Perhaps this scene explains why she never gives up on Homer in the future.
Lisa is very enthusiastic to see a woman mud pool driver at the monster truck rally. She didn't even know this was a 'barrier' until the announcer introduced the driver, but Lisa doesn't care.
Lisa asks Bart to talk to Lance Murdock, but she must have talked to Dr. Hibbert befire Bart announced his jump over Springfield Gorge. This means that Lisa knew about Bart's jumping and decided this was the best course of action.
Now it seems unclear if Homer and Marge knew about the other jumps or not, so it's possible that Lisa didn't tell them because shr was hoping to resolve the issue quietly and painlessly. But after talking to Mr. Murdock, she knew she couldn't stay quiet because she is worried about his safety.
Now at the Gorge, you occasionally see a character with Lisa's hair and in a scenery glance, it looks like you see Lisa's dress. This could be a mistake because of some story change or it's possible that Lisa wanted to see if Bart would show up or not.
If it is her, then you could say that Lisa was there to talk Bart out of jumping, but then why didn't we see the two of them talk or her trying to stop him at the top of the Gorge. Or you could say that, dispite her disapproval and the unlikelihood of his success, that Lisa was there to be supportive to her brother. I suppose that this theory could explain why she isn't shown on screen; because that would be against the message of this episode.
When Marge finds that Itchy and Scratchy is too violent she refuses to let her children watch it. Lisa lovea the show and she is upset, but it appears that Lisa has a greater reason for watching the show. This being, having the same disappointed by the predictably of their meals. Which honestly Lisa asked for stability in a earlier episode this season, which seems to be meals for the Simpson family. As the only scheduled thing the whole family follows, it's almost a little odd that she wants to mess with it.
Lisa asks several times to go to the sushi restaurant until Homer folds. I'm not sure if this is the earliest case of Homer's weak will, but it's at least one of the earliest. Lisa really enjoys the sushi restaurant, and she is shown singing karaoke with Bart. I wonder whose idea that was since the song is a little dirty.
Lisa is so used to being unheard, that she is surprised when Homer actually wants to hear her play. But to make the experience a joyful one she plays When The Saints Come Marching In, which makes Homer dance in delight.
For Homer's last meal, Marge decides to go all out, and since they didn't tell the kids, they are very confused by their mother's behavior. I actually like that they didn't tell the kids, because Lisa would automatically blamed herself for killing her father.
Marge probably had the children stay up to say goodnight to Homer, but Homer comes into their rooms that night and kisses them all one the forehead and says something sweet to them. I do like the fact that Lisa smiles at the kiss, because if Homer had died then that would be his last memory of his daughter.
McBain is like the one really famous actor in the Simpson universe, so of course Lisa is going to be a fan.
Lisa finds Homer and Marge's history to be very romantic. In the middle of the story, she finds it hard to believe they ever got together.
When Lisa learns about Hell in Sunday school, she gets very frightened for the soul of her and her family because they are stealing cable. Now I know that Lisa becomes a Buddhist later in the show and I wondered if Lisa would still fear Hell. From what I found, Buddhists believe that pain is Hell and happiness is Heaven, therefore Heaven and Hell temporary. Granted I could be wrong, but if someone comments or PM's me and tells me why I am wrong, then I'll write the accurate statement in Lisa's 3rd chapter.
Ok, so I was surprised that Lisa imagined her home turning into hell, which means that her imagination is just as or more vivid than Bart's.
Lisa yells at her mother in the store and guilts her into paying for two grapes that she ate. This defiantly shows that she doesn't mind making a scene, or at the very least, her anger that her mother didn't know the commandments by their assigned number
By the way, why does Lisa go to Homer for advice when she feels that the world is 'broken'. This is the second time she has done it so far, and she knows that she is smarter than him. Maybe it's because he'll listen to her when he knows that she is upset and even tries to make her feel make her feel better. But she gives up talking to him when he knocks her on the floor and starts kissing the cable wire.
So Lisa goes to the one person she feels that can give her the best advice, Reverend Lovejoy. Lisa offers to have her father arrested, and she doesn't have any regret or sadness in her face or tone as she says this. Is it possible that Lisa feels as if it's either her soul or her father's freedom?
Luckily Reverend Lovejoy steers her clear of the arrest and towards a nonviolent protest. She tells her father about her protest and rejects his attempt to temp her into watching cable. Lisa also calls attention to the fact that she is protesting during the pre-fight.
She also doesn't say much, but makes Homer feel guilty even when she is outside. And Lisa is really proud of Homer when he joins her protest and cuts the cable.
Lisa tells Selma that she hopes she will find her prince, but the way she said it made Selma feel worse.
Lisa rats Bart out for eating a green bean during Homer's prayer. This causes them to fight and then using their own form if A.S.L. to avoid getting in trouble. Which honestly, might be my favorite fight scene of theirs.
Lisa seems excited to learn that Homer has a half-brother. She is even seen supporting Homer with two of the four calls he makes.
Lisa almost seemed surprised that Herb that thought she might be a Hell-raiser.
Lisa plays Marco Polo with Bart and insists that the adults watch her dive; and she is disappointed when they missed it.
Lisa loves pony's, we've known that since the pilot episode, but I wonder if this is the first time Lisa has ridden a horse.
The kids love to spend time with Herd and they even share Itchy and Scratchy with him. I find this important, because Homer and Marge never really sat down to watch the show until Maggie hit Homer in the head with a mallet. Therefore, they are willingly sharing this with Herb, who loves it as much as they do.
Always the animal lover, Lisa talks to the penguins at the Zoo.
Lisa states that Herb was successful until he found out he was a Simpson. And with the way she says this, it seems like she thinks being a Simpson is a curse.
Lisa gets sick with the Mumps, but is still willing to go to school. Lisa confuses her brother with this whole School Vs. Home conversation; so you know that even when sick, she can still out smart her family. She also asks Bart to get her homework and tells Dr. Hibbert that she doesn't want to fall behind.
Also, a little Lisa note, her favorite subject is Arithmetic.
She calls her father at work to buy three teen magazines, and I wondered if Lisa should be reading them. After all, she is 8, so where would she get these magazines? Of course, Homer has no problem with her reading them, so I guess they are harmless. That and Lisa is mentally older then most.
Now, I realize that this show focuses mostly on the Simpson side of the family, but here, Marge shows Lisa her family quilt, and tells her that all Bouvier's know how to sew. Huh, I wonder if that means that Bart has a talent in sewing as well. Of course, Marge said that only women added to the quilt, but that doesn't mean that Bart doesn't secretly know how to sew. Marge does gross Lisa out a little with the strength of her callous.
When Bart hands Lisa her homework, she is happy until she realizes that Bart snuck in some of his homework in the pile. She is also glad when Homer hands her the magazine, and she knows that there are eight different Coreys. This can explain why, in a later episode, there is a Corey hotline that Lisa loves to call.
Oh, and I realize that it may not be important to mention, but I saw a signed photograoh of Bleeding Gums in her room.
Lisa seems to be enjoying a soap opera with Marge. She also saves Snowball 2 from Santa's Little Helper and quesrions his knowledge gained from obedience school. In the quilt, Lisa's patch has Bleeding Gums and her music teacher, Mr. Largo, with a saxophone in the middle to separate the two. She is also proud to show Marge her new callous, so she now has a sewing finger.
The twi instantly leave the room to grab Homer and show him Lisa's patch. And everyone is upset at Santa's Little Helper for the things he destroyed and Homer and Marge even want to give him away. All the children are upset with this and finally Lisa makes Homer cry.
Lisa starts a new quilt for Marge, impressing her with a patch that shows Santa's Little Helper destroying the old quilt.
Lisa goea tk Bart and tells him to enjoy his last moments with Santa's Little Helper.
Lisa says that 'grandpa' Simpson smells like a photo lab, so she must have been in one, even though we have only seen Bart in a photo lab.
And Lisa does scare Homer when she doesn't reject the possibility of putting him in a home. When trying to figure out their next trip with Abe, she offers to ride ponies even though Abe can't do that, but the whole family gets excited for discount Lion Safari. Lisa is also shown playing with her food in the form of 'sword fighting' with Bart using corn cobs.
She hugs Abe when she learns that he is going to give his fortune away. Lisa also tells him that everyone he is talking to doesn't deserve the money, but poor people on the streets do. Of course, Lisa shows a little of her greedy side when she tells him that he could buy her a pony.
Watching Krusty at Mt. Splashmore for a week felt like an actual experience to Bart and Lisa. But Lisa sighs sadly, and I wonder if this is because the week was over.
And even though Lisa recognizes the bluntness of Krusty's promotion, it works very well on her. So together, Bart and Lisa ask Homer for hours to go to Mt. Splashmore, and I was surprised that they watched him shower. They probably did this to be annoying, but they still couldbhave had their backs turned around.
Lisa can cry on demand, and that's not always an easy thing to do, but this could be a trait to add to your stories.
No one wants to hurt Homer's feelings when he asks if he is overweight, so no one responds immediately.
Lisa likes Marge's paintings and she asks Marge why she stopped painting, while also stating that she herself is talented. She is sad that Marge stopped painting because of her art teacher; and I think the reason Lisa reacts this way, is because Mr. Largo practically rejects her music everyday and Lisa still stays strong. Lisa encourages Marge to take an art class, she even goes down to the college with Marge to ensure that she doesn't get frightened off.
Lisa and Bart sing a jump rope rhyme as Homer jumps, which is a form of encouragement. Though when Homer is excited about his weight loss, the kids seem tired of showing their support. Also, did anyone else notice that Lisa calls milk 'moo juice' in this episode?
Normally, Lisa practices her saxophone in her room, but in this episode she decides to practice in the living room, causing Mr. Burns to yell at her.
With no teacher in the room, the kids start to go crazy, except for Lisa who is calmly reading a book. And when Ms. Hoover comes into the room crying, Lisa immediately thinks that she got dumped. Honestly, how often does a teacher get dumped, that a student instantly recognizes the signs?
Anyways Lisa recognizes the imperfections with her sub's costume. I know that Lisa is smart and reads a lot, but we don't know much about what she is reading. When did she study about Texas, revolvers, or even cowboys? We will never know.
She obviously loves the time she spends with Mr. Bergstrom, because he doesn't anger easily, and he can be sensitive. She also cries when he reads Charlotte's Web out loud, and being such a common tale for classrooms, she has to have read it at least once before.
She does get nervous when Mr. Bergstrom asks her to play her saxophone. I guess being a bit of a social outcast, she realized that playing in front of the class would mearly make the matter worse.
Lisa is seen wearing the cowboy hat he gave her, and it makes me wonder if this was all part of her first day with him. Lisa feels special when Mr. Bergstrom rejects Mrs. Krabappel, and she plays a beautiful saxophone solo on the baseball field for him to hear. Lisa talks to Marge about her feelings for Mr. Bergstrom, and she is obviously a bit obsessed, but she gets angry at Marge for comparing him to Homer.
Not being use to a student like Lisa he thinks that she is getting help from her father. Of course, this conversation only shows Lisa's lack of respect for her father, which surprises Mr. Bergstrom. Lisa believes Mr. Bergstrom when he tells her that she is going to miss her brother and go to big exciting things.
Honestly I'm glad that Lisa got to tour the museum with Homer and Mr. Bergstrom. But I kind of wished that they kept him around, or had a character similar to him.
Lisa loved listening to Mr. Bergstrom and was terribly embarrassed by her father, which is to be expected. She seems angry at her father when he asks Mr. Bergstrom to give her an A. She is most likely angry because he embarrassed her and he feels as if Lisa can't get an A by herself.
Once at home, Lisa complains to Marge, who suggests having him over for dinner.
At school, we see Lisa a bit dolled up and preparing to talk to Mr. Bergstrom, only to be shocked at the site of Mrs. Hoover. Obviously upset, Lisa remains practically quiet until Ms. Hoover asks her a question. Now she can't handle her emotions and she leaves the classroom crying, and I don't think she returns that day.
Actually, why did they let a young girl leave school grounds without an adult? Ms. Hoover should have talked to the principal who should have called her parents, but I don't think that these actions were dealt out.
Lisa goes to the complex where Mr. Bergstrom lives, and I still don't know how she found it. My only idea is a bit stalkerish, and I would hate to think of Lisa as some kind of stalker.
She does get a moment of reminiscence with a neighbor of his and thsn she hurries to the train station. She finds him and tells him that she doesn't want him to go. He gives her a note for encouragement, and she runs by the train to stay with him as long as physically possible.
She doesn't want to share her pain with her father, because she knows that he wouldn't understand how she felt. She geta so angry that she screams at her father and then runs to her room.
By the way, Lisa has a 'go away' sign, and yet I think this is the only episode that shows it on her door. But Homer manages to make Lisa feel better and she apologizes for calling him a baboon.
Apparently, Marge and Homer fight in the car frequently, playing the same song that disturb the children
Lisa obviously objects to Bart being a babysitter, even though logically, she should realize that her parents would never let Bart in charge of anything. Lisa doesn't really approve of taking advantage of their grandpa, but she was still able to oppress her morals and enjoy the ride. But at the end of the day, even though she's having fun, she tells Bart she still feels a bit guilty.
Lisa drinks coffee with Bart, and she obviously hates it black, because she asks for 10 sugar cubes. And even though she is drinking it, she's not as shaky as Bart, which could be a higher tolerance for caffeine for her, or a possible case of A.D.H.D. for Bart.
Lisa can't enjoy Bart's party because of her guilt, which Bart hates. When the party is over, Lisa is still angry at Bart, but explains the unpleasantness he is feeling.
Obviously, Bart and Lisa worked hard to clean the house, so they were clearly surprised that Abe was faking his sadness. Lisa must have inherited her ability to cry on cue from her grandfather.
Lisa reada comics like her brother, but they have different tastes.
Lisa hopes that Bart will never be truely popular because of his feeble mind. This means that she doesn't want to do him harm, but hopes for unhappiness in his life. Which he never seema to be that happy in episodes predicting the future, so I guess she got her wish.
When Bart tells Lisa about his fan theory, Lisa instantly thinks of suicide, which shows a little of how dark her mind can be.
She enjoys the humor in the radioactive man comics, which this could be something the two children can share.
Lisa does attempt to have Bart's business get more customers. But here, I think that there is a thin line between helping and making fun of him.
Lisa really cares for Maggie and she teaches her about extra animals and other things to give her an advantage.
And finally, Lisa tells Bart that no one really believed that Bart would wreak the family; and that it was merely a cruel joke they played on him.
