Added DiffLines:
* ThePeterPrinciple: Enforced by Skinner to give Milhouse the role of Rick after taking Jack out of the race [[ArrestedForHeroism for not letting the school bullies beat him up]]: as he tells Lisa, it is "constructive" for idiots to be placed in roles that they are absolutely bad at doing and letting the train wreck do the rest.
Added DiffLines:
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: We never find out what Lisa did to get rid of Milhouse in order for Jack to supplant him, and where he is during the play.
