The Good, the Sad and the Drugly

Meanwhile, Lisa becomes depressed when she finds articles on the Internet predicting that Springfield will suffer from catastrophic events in fifty years.

Milhouse and Bart loosen every bolt and screw in Springfield Elementary, leading to mass chaos when the building and its contents fall apart.

When she discovers online reports about war, poverty and environmental disasters, she is filled with anxiety and depression and terrifies her classmates with her dark, morbid visions of the future.

In her love-induced stupor, she nearly kisses a running fan held by Maggie, until a horrified Marge finally intervenes by taking Lisa off the medication.

Bart drowns his sorrows on a couple of Shrek Squishees at the Kwik-E-Mart where a recovering Lisa tells him that they cannot be in despair about certain issues and should just move on.

Bart decides to take Lisa's advice, and leaves after buying a bouquet of roses, and apologizes to Jenny off-screen for lying to her about his true character and Milhouse for his neglect to visit him.

[5] According to the Nielsen ratings, "The Good, the Sad and the Drugly" was watched by 6.50 million households in its original in the United States on April 19, 2009.

Keeping the action focused on Bart kept things simple and damn near heartwarming at times, particularly the nice capper where he goes to apologize to Milhouse instead of trying to win back Jenny.
