"The Loudly Bones"

Lisa finds the fused bones from last year's Thanksgiving turgooseon in the backyard, which get mistaken for a dinosaur bone and catapult her to a scientific celebrity.

• Book Ends: Near the start, and at the end, Lisa tells Todd to commence "cleaning protocol" (to clean the bone at the start and fix the broken T. rex skeleton at the end), only for Todd to whip out a hose and spray her.
• Call-Back: The dinosaur bone Lisa discovers is really a turkey bone, goose bone, and chicken bone, from Lynn Sr.'s Thanksgiving turgooseon from "The Loudest Thanksgiving".
• Cheaters Never Prosper: Dr. Alvarez wants to do a paleontology episode of Lisa's show using the dinosaur bone she discovered. Not wanting to be exposed, Lisa and Todd break into the museum and replace the turgooseon bone with a T-Rex bone. When filming, the fake bone gives way causing the T-Rex to collapse. Lisa pushes Dr. Alvarez to safety but is nowhere to be seen. Lisa thinks she's buried and possibly crushed to death. Lisa cries over her fraudulent discovery. Dr. Alvarez is angrily confused and wants an explanation. Lisa is forced to come clean. Her show gets cancelled and needs to earn back Alvarez's trust. However, she's allowed to give tour guides in the museum to continue getting kids interested in science.
• Pop-Culture Pun Episode Title: The episode title is a pun on The Lovely Bones.
• Series Continuity Error: In "The Loudest Thanksgiving", Lynn Sr. states that the turgooseon is a combination of turkey, goose, and pigeon. Here, it's a combination of turkey, goose, and chicken.
• Unwitting Instigator of Doom: Lana had used Lisa's dating machine on some cream puffs causing them to get inside the machine and make it malfunction.
• Well-Intentioned Extremist: Lisa decides getting other kids interested in science is worth lying about the bones.
