Plot[edit]
Lisa is staying home sick, and receives from Marge the book Illustrated History of Western Art to read and she starts fantasizing the stories.
Lisanardo da Vinci[edit]
In Venice, Lisanardo is drawing the picture of a suspect for Wiggum, when he announces she'll make her family rich. In Florence, it was the start of the Renaissance, and Lisanardo become apprentice of Andrea del Verrocchio, with Barticelli, Dolphatello and Ralphael.
When Lisanardo shows her work to Andrea, it discourages him from working as a painter, so he goes to music school, while the other kids accuse her of having help from the Heaven above, when an angel appears giving her more.
Her Vitruvian Man inspires her to invent weapons of war, but her diary gets stolen by Barticelli, and brought to the Cardinal, which uses them to kill slightly different Christians.
When she understood it was heresy, she escaped to France, where under King Francis I she paints the Mona Lisa and writing The Da Vinci Code.

Bart is the main character this time, getting bad grades at the Aujourd'Hui: Royal Salon, and get mocked by the other students. Toulouse-Moetrec arrives at the Moulin Rouge and acclaims Bart's job and changes the mind of the other kids, to follow his work.
Back at the school, Chalmers arrives and Skinner shows him the new paintings, scaring him to not show them to the emperor coming later that day. Toulouse-Moetrec encourages them to show their work to the emperor anyway, with him loving cheese, so they bring a big form of cheese in the school.
Emperor Napoleon III starts eating it and it gets destroyed against the wall in the back room of the salon, where Bart and the other kids show him their work and get acclaimed. When Empress Eugénie notes how Skinner expelled him from the salon, him and Chalmers get decapitated.
Cupid[edit]
Maggie arrives in Lisa's room and asks for her story, as she is Cupid, fighting off Gerald Samson's evil attacks, but on one occasion, he switches Cupid's arrows with Death arrows.

Rockefeller tasks Diego to build a mural at the Rockefeller Center, while Frida is cast aside. After a discussion on bed, while Diego goes at the bar, Frida is left alone in front of the mirror, contemplating what to do, when her sisters, as angels, show up, telling her to paint her feelings and leaving Diego.
