The Star of the Backstage

In this episode, Marge is reunited with her classmates to recreate their high school play and realizes that she was not the star because she worked backstage.

[citation needed] At the memorial of a recently deceased theater director, Marge is given her old production manual from the widow about her high school play "Y2K: The Millennium Bug".

At the theater, the group realizes that they are missing one of the cast members, Sasha Reed, who apparently moved to New York after graduation and was accepted into Juilliard.

Eventually, however, Marge finds out that Sasha is an impostor, having lied to the rest of the cast about her fabulous career as an actress; she is in fact a sales representative at Sephora.

Homer, in a song and dance routine, convinces Marge in front of Bart and Lisa to bring Sasha back into the play.

Marge then realizes that Sasha's voice was one of the greatest elements of the play and finds her at Moe's Tavern to apologize for letting jealousy and their old rivalry get in the way.
