This episode quite reminisce "Sleeping With the Enemy", albeit with differences. Actually, this episode was quite different. The theme regards real vs. fake. Or a rebellious Bart vs. a Mama's boy Bart. Indeed, Mama's boy Bart was quite nicer, but it didn't seem quite right because its just pretend to be something that's not really real. So in the end. Marge choose the rebellious Bart over Mama's boy Bart, considering the fact he won't end like Principal Skinner, successful Mama's boy.
