Bart accidentally sprays epoxy in Milhouse's hair -- and the resulting haircut makes Milhouse look like his father, prompting Bart and Lisa to dress Milhouse like an adult so they can do things that require parental supervision. Meanwhile, Marge tries to wean Maggie off an educational DVD series that was pulled for stunting developmental growth in younger children and Homer becomes incredibly skilled at "find-the-hidden-object" picture puzzle books.
