When he discovers how much pain he's inflicted on the town, he decides to return the head to the statue with the help of Homer.

Answer: Bleeding Gums Murphy

Lisa falls into a depression after her elementary school music teacher, Mr. Largo, restricted her creativity in class. One night, while staring out her window, she hears the call of a saxophone across town and she follows it to an overpass where the jazzman, Bleeding Gums Murphy, plays a tune with her. Marge brings her back home and then drives her to school the next day only to realize that her daughter has a reason to feel bad.

It's only when her mother comforts her that Lisa finds no reason to be depressed any longer.

Answer: Albania

After a prank at Springfield Elementary, Skinner suggests to the Simpsons that Bart be sent to France for a couple of months on a foreign exchange program. Bart likes the idea as much as Homer and Skinner, who celebrate their freedom. When Bart arrives, he finds that his destination isn't all it's cracked up to be and he soon becomes the sole labourer at a winery. Back in Springfield, the Simpsons take Albanian exchange student, Adil, into their household.

It isn't until he is discovered to be sending nuclear power plant blueprints to his government (from Bart's treehouse) that he leaves the country. Bart manages to warn the police that his caretakers are putting antifreeze into the wine and he becomes a hero.

Answer: Jacques

In this episode, Marge's thirty-fourth birthday is celebrated and Homer gets her a horrible gift (a bowling ball with Homer's name on it). Despite Homer's disregard for Marge's interests, she goes out and uses the ball. Her horrible style of bowling attracts the attention of the French bowling instructor, Jacques, who constantly tries to make a move on Marge by teaching her and taking her to lunch. Marge realizes that Jacques may be jeopardizing her marriage.

In the end, she decides to make up with Homer and she visits him at work.

Bart, who later sees this on the news, decides that Krusty could never have done such a crime. With Lisa, Bart is able to determine reasons why Krusty could not have committed the crime, but it isn't until he discovers Sideshow Bob's secrets (on his new show in Krusty's timeslot) that Krusty is released from prison.

Answer: RV

They end up losing their clothes after flowing down a waterfall and Homer ends up falling in mud. When he stumbles upon a campsite, the media gets word that a camper has spotted Bigfoot. Marge ends up having to tell everybody that Bigfoot is her husband.
