"Yokel Chords" finds Lisa tutoring seven children á la "The Sound of Music."

Episodes
The Mook, the Chef, the Wife and Her Homer
Lisa's friendship with Fat Tony's son Michael prompts mob boss Tony to invite the Simpsons over for dinner. Michael says he'd rather be a chef than take over the family business, but that's before Tony is shot by a rival mobster. "Sopranos" stars Michael Imperioli and Joe Pantoliano voice Tony's top thugs, and Metallica band members provide their own voices.

Please Homer Don't Hammer 'Em
Marge reads Homer's carpentry books and becomes very handy at fixing things. Gender bias keeps the townspeople from accepting a female carpenter, so Marge pretends that Homer does the work. Meanwhile, Bart torments Skinner when he learns the principal has an extreme allergy to peanuts.
Treehouse of Horror XVII
In this lucky 17th annual Treehouse of Horror, Homer becomes an insatiable blob, and when Dr. Phil tries to cure him he is eaten as well; Bart discovers a Golem from Jewish mythology and uses it to do his bidding; and aliens invade the earth during a scare caused by Orson Welles' classic Halloween radio broadcast.

Moe 'n' a Lisa
Lisa sees poetry in the notes Moe sticks to the walls of his hotel room, so she sends his work to a poetry journal, which publishes it, making Moe the toast of the literary circuit. Guest voices include Gore Vidal, Michael Chabon and Jonathan Franzen.
Ice Cream of Margie (With the Light Blue Hair)
Homer is fired and decides to buy an ice-cream truck. Marge makes use of the mountains of Popsicle sticks from Homer's ice-cream consumption by creating sculptures of Springfield citizens with them, leading to a feature about her on the news. The episode features the song "Money for Nothing" by Dire Straits.
The Haw-Hawed Couple
Bart and Nelson become friends, but when Bart tries to break if off, he fears for his safety. Meanwhile, Homer tries to keep Lisa from learning the tragic ending of a Harry Potter-style book she's reading.
Kill Gil, Volumes I & II
Homer jumps into a brawl during a holiday ice-skating show. To escape the melee, Marge takes the family Christmas shopping, where a chance encounter with Gil leads to bad luck for Gil and the Simpson clan. Elvis Stojko voices himself.
The Wife Aquatic
Selma and Patti's home movies make Marge nostalgic for the Barnacle Bay vacations of her youth, so Homer takes the family there, but the area has changed since the Bouviers were little girls.

Homer learns three lessons about revenge from stories told by Marge, Lisa and Bart that parody "The Count of Monte Cristo," "Revenge of the Nerds" and "Batman Begins."
Little Big Girl

The Boys of Bummer
Bart goes from hero to goat on his Little League team after an error in the championship game. Meanwhile, Homer falls asleep on a bed in a department store. When he's awakened, he raves about the mattress and is given a job as a salesman.
Crook and Ladder
Homer, Apu, Moe and Skinner volunteer as firemen after Homer's sleepwalking accident injures the town's firefighters. They do some light looting at the fires to make up for not being compensated, but Marge and Lisa shame them into mending their ways.
Stop, or My Dog Will Shoot!
