Marge makes friends with a group of women, who plan a big heist: to steal from Mr. Burns something that should be theirs. Will they go through with it? They do, but Burns catches them, but he promises not to pres charges.
Lisa wants to go to Italy, but needs to be fluent first. In comes Milhouse, who surprisingly speaks Italian really well. Him and Lisa become somewhat close, but it does not last long, especially when Milhouse is seen with two girls.
Decent episode, main plot for plot, sub plot for the comedy. Overall grade would be a B+/A- methinksmoreless

ALLUSIONS (5)
ADD ALLUSIONS-
Roman Holiday
The scene where Milhouse and Lisa visit Little Italy is reminiscent of a scene with Gregory Peck and Audrey Hepburn riding a Vespa in the 1953 film Roman Holiday. -
Jacqueline Kennedy: Mayor Quimby, as is well known, has a voice very similar to that of John F. Kennedy. In this episode, his rarely-seen wife is shown to look very similar to Kennedy's wife Jacqueline. In fact, except for the color, the outfit she wears is almost identical to the one that Jacqueline Kennedy was wearing when her husband was assassinated.
-
The "Cheery Red Tomatoes" are an obvious send up of not only the Red Hat Society but also the Sweet Potato Queens, two organizations established by middle-aged women.
-
Aliens:
Homer utters the line "Game over man, game over" which was one of Pvt. Hudson's memorable lines from this 1986 science fiction/horror film.
-
Title:
