Summary
"Sometimes you have to adopt your son's bully in order to bring your own family temporarily closer." - Marge Simpson
After her own children lose interest in her motherly ways, Marge becomes a surrogate parent to Nelson, who takes a shine to living in a mostly loving home and eating meals that don't consist of live tadpoles. Meanwhile, Lisa develops serious body issues that can't be wrapped up in a single sitcom episode, but still manage to be partially resolved via skunk justice.
