History Recap / TheSimpsonsS19E14DialNForNerder

* {{Hypocrite}}: Lisa has always harped on about telling the truth because it's the right thing to do always. Here, she desperately tries to cover up the possible murder of Martin (even goading Bart into following suit), all because of how the truth would affect her.
* ItsAllAboutMe: Both Lisa and Bart are concerned about being nailed for Martin's "murder" but Lisa is the one that constantly acts like being on the verge of a nervous breakdown because she can't stop thinking of her possibly shattered future (and her ImagineSpot where she's in prison shows a newspaper cut-out that headlines "Bart killed Martin" and "Lisa helped", the latter of which has the bigger font).

* BrainBleach: Homer "making out" with the food he snuck while in a motel shower.

* WhatYouAreInTheDark: Lisa says on the episode's denouement that she didn't expect to find such a criminal streak deep inside her when confronted with the dilemma of owning up to Martin's apparent death.

** Though Nelson ofter bullies Martin a lot, when he hears that Martin was dead, he began investigating. After Lisa confessed to killing Martin, she offered to get back together with Nelson, and let him cherry bomb her Malibu Stacies if he let them go, Nelson told her to "save it for the warden". Although when Martin shows up alive, Nelson punches him, but comments that "it's good to have you alive."

* MadeOfIron: Musing about the details of Martin's death, Nelson commented things didn't add up. Hearing that, Jimbo, Kearney and Dolph wanted to beat him up for wanting to ''add''. However, he's so much tougher than their other victims he not only didn't show any pain but also didn't show any sign he was aware of people hitting him.
