The article section of this trope is kind of weird in general, with a lot of discussion of specific occurrences, but this bit is simply wrong:
"Examples: the oysters eliminated everyone leaving only Bart & Skinner, on whom the episode was focused. (They even acknowledged that it made no sense that Lisa got ill but they just Hand Waved it.)"
As the relevant The Simpsons example correctly points out, the episode did give an explanation: Lisa pretended to have been poisoned with the others, so that she could leave politely. I've cut the bolded sentence.
