Production
Conan O'Brien first pitched this episode at a story retreat - to Al Jean and Mike Reiss, who said the episode was a little crazy and thought he should try some other material first. Conan had previously pitched episodes where Lisa had a rival and where Marge gets a job at the Plant and Burns falls in love with her; both went well. James L. Brooks "absolutely loved" this episode when Conan presented it.

“... this dream that men shall cease to waste strength in competition and shall come to pool their powers of production is coming to pass all over the earth.”
—Jane Addams (1860–1935)
“I really know nothing more criminal, more mean, and more ridiculous than lying. It is the production either of malice, cowardice, or vanity; and generally misses of its aim in every one of these views; for lies are always detected, sooner or later.”
