Bart tries to impress her by joining her in mischievous activities, only to find himself constantly taking the blame. Eventually, Jessica's antics escalate when she steals money from the church collection plate. Bart gets accused of the theft, and despite his attempts to clear his name, no one believes him. Desperate to prove his innocence, Bart finally manages to catch Jessica red-handed with the stolen money. In a climactic scene at church, Bart exposes Jessica in front of the entire congregation. Reverend Lovejoy is initially in denial but eventually accepts the truth about his daughter. Jessica feigns innocence, but it's clear her true colors have been revealed. The episode wraps up with Bart's reputation restored, though he learns that sometimes love isn't what it's cracked up to be—especially when it involves getting blamed for someone else's misdeeds.
