Synopsis

Spoiler warning: Plot or ending details follow.

Lisa feels as if she's going to have to work a little bit more now that a new student, Allison Taylor (voiced by Winona Ryder), has arrived at Springfield Elementary. Allison is not only as smart as Lisa, or maybe smarter, but she's pretty, a great saxophone player, and a great diorama builder. Afterwards Lisa tries to be her friend but she's full of envy and jealousy, especially with the arrival of the annual "Dioramarama", which is a competition of building dioramas. Allison already has her project set which is The Tell-Tale Heart, by Edgar Allan Poe. Using Bart's help Lisa decides to pull a cruel prank on her. She switches Allison's Tell-Tale Heart diorama with a rotten cow's heart but regrets at the last moment. Ironically, both Lisa's and Allison's projects lose to Ralph Wiggum's.
