This was a pretty good episode, especially considering that Lisa episodes tend to be a bit weak. Lots of great sight gags, although the story felt a bit rushed at the end, and so much was done in a very short third act. I was a bit disappointed that they didn't have more fun with the I&S episode number (choosing the number DABF06, which corresponds to "The Bart Wants What it Wants"). They could've at least used DABF16 or an episode that had something to do with the Amish or butter. I liked the East German gymnast coach ("here's your cat!" "But I had a dog." "It's a cat now!"), but I expect that both his character and Lisa's new gymnastic ability will be forgotten by next week. If it had had better pacing, this episode would've been a check+, but I will have to give it just a check (B+).
