I thought this was a really nice Lisa and Marge heavy episode, and while Julie Kavner's voice seems to have gone as Marge, it's still a good example of the show still being able to produce magical moments and episodes.
From a simple premise, this grows into being something rather sweet and tender, and they don't just go for the low hanging fruit jokes when they do come along to punctuate the heartfelt tone either, which makes a nice change.
We often think of it being Homer and Lisa stories that go down this route, but perhaps this is a pairing instead the show should consider, because it works well here.
