3	!!Tropes
4	* AntagonistInMourning: Nelson admits to Ned Flanders he misses Edna Krabappel.
5	* ApatheticTeacher: Ms. Hoover's approach to teaching the solar system is so half-assed, she does nothing but show an outdated documentary on Nepture. Apparently, she declined to use Lisa's more competent lesson plan.

8	-->'''Bob''': THEY'RE ALL UGLY 'CAUSE ''YOU'RE'' IN THEM!
9	* BrickJoke: A heartwarming one, given the real-life circumstances. When convincing Marge to go along with the sex talk, Ned Flanders says Edna Krabappel signed them both up for tango dance classes, and remarks that Rod and Todd's skipping lessons have paid off. In the tag scene, both Ned and Edna attend a tango event and after Edna remarks how she let him pay for the boys' skipping lessons, he pulls off an impressive tango charm on Edna.
