- Synopsis: After Homer's work cuts children's healthcare benefits, Marge turns to buying healing crystals as a cheaper solution for Bart's ADD. Bart begins to succeed in school, prompting Marge to open her very own crystals empire and sell to the naive mothers at school. Guest Voice Cast: Illeana Douglas as New Age Clerk, Werner Herzog as Walter Hotenhoffer, Jenny Slate as Piper Paisley
- Jenny Slate lends her voice to the episode as Piper, owner of rival store Plop in Shelbyville and someone none too pleased for any competition. “It’s an all-out war over yoni eggs,” says Jean. “This is a a very strange product I wasn’t aware of, but it is sold.” In addition to Slate, Illeana Douglas and Werner Herzog serve as guest voices. Plus, there’s a solid callback to a memorable season 8 character. “There is a very brief scene with the coyote from ‘El Viaje Misterioso de Nuestro Jomer,'” says Jean, “who returns and eats a roadrunner.” (Entertainment Weekly)
