Ep 13. The Daughter Also Rises

In "The Daughter Also Rises," the thirteenth episode of The Simpsons' season 23, Marge decides to enroll herself and Lisa in a weekend retreat for mothers and daughters called "Kamp Krustier." Although Lisa initially resists the idea, Marge bribes her with a telescope she's been eyeing for months to convince her to come along.

At Kamp Krustier, Marge and Lisa quickly realize they are the only ones whose relationship doesn't need repairing. While the other mothers and daughters participate in activities meant to create emotional bonding moments, Lisa finds herself intellectually stimulated by the camp's youngest attendee, Megan, who shares her love of science and literature.
