The next morning, before the assembly, she has an assignment for the kids to take their homework out. She goes to Milhouse first, but Bart destroys his own project. Bart then takes his stone and throws it out of the window. All kids keep away from Bart due to out of control. Later day, Ms. Peyton discuss with Homer and Marge about Bart behavior problems. She has tried to do her every intervention.
In the gym, Ms. Peyton is doing the new Seven Wonders of the World assembly, but Bart turns the worst and ends up screaming and destroying everything when an octopus Molly stuck him on his face.

The next day, back in the classroom, Bart apologizes to Ms. Peyton for ruining everything. He has one more thing to tell the truth and wears his swimming goggles.
