S9E8: Lisa the Skeptic
When a skeleton is unearthed at the site of a future shopping mall, all Springfield is convinced it is the skeleton of an angel – except Lisa.
Episode Ending
In "Simpsonlar - S9E8: Episode 8," which is better known as "Lisa the Skeptic," the episode wraps up with a classic Springfield twist. The town has been whipped into a frenzy over the discovery of what appears to be an angel skeleton, with everyone but Lisa buying into the hype. As the townsfolk gather for the supposed apocalypse, a bright light descends, and the angel rises into the air, only to reveal itself as a marketing ploy for the grand opening of a new mall. Lisa is vindicated in her skepticism, but the townspeople are more interested in shopping than acknowledging her rational explanation. The episode ends with the residents rushing into the mall, leaving Lisa to ponder their gullibility. In true Simpsons fashion, even Marge gets swept up by the allure of consumerism despite earlier siding with Lisa's rational stance.
