Spoiler Now this is The Simpsons being written like The Simpsons.
This was quite good. Not only good, it felt properly Classic Era. Lisa as a human being! Bart and Lisa feuding, then teaming up in the spirit of revenge! Homer and Marge attempting a couples' night! Everyone was on-point, Addy ended up being a pretty decent character, and her "friends" were deliciously hateable. Loved Homer's speech about the vicious cycle of making plans.

Spoiler Eh... it's eh. While Addy was actually an interesting and creepy character that's about the most praise it's worth. This was yet another "feel sorry for Lisa" thing but since she'd spent most of this season and the past few being incredibly unlikeable and only rewarded for it (whether fawned over in Hail to the Teeth, Bart the Bad Guy and Better off Ned or having everyone else suffer horribly so she can look cool like The Last Thanksgiving amongst others) then... frankly it was nice to see her brought down a peg for a change, if she never got revenge that is. Other characters have gone through far worse over far less so can't really care there. And well without that it all just falls apart.
