A musical comes to life in Springfield as Marge stages a revival of her beloved high school show - but her wonderful memories are threatened by the return of a rival from the past.
Marge has amazing memories of being the stage manager of her high school musical, Y2K: The Millennium Bug and decides to restage it with everyone 2 decades later for one last show. Bart and Lisa even drag Homer into it as Lenny needs a replacement. But when her old high school nemesis comes to town, she realizes that her high school memories aren’t what she thought they were.
She finds out that the cast have had several parties at Marge's house without her knowing it as well as not inviting her to several other events. Feeling that everything is the fault of Sasha, Marge learns and reveals that her nemesis never accomplished all of the things she claims to have done after high school; ruining the play in the process and being labeled as mean by the cast who continue to favor Sasha over Marge despite learning the truth.
