The title of the episode refers to an ages-old con game - the Spanish Prisoner. Peggy Hill, always having too much self-assurance, takes an online IQ test which reveals she is a "genius" (without actually assigning her a score). Not surprisingly, the IQ test-con is simply a way to get foolish people to pay thousands of dollars for online "Ph.D" degree programs which, of course, can be completed at home and are worthless. Peggy, despite being conned, eventually gets the better of the con-man (voiced hilariously by Jeff Goldblum) with the unwitting help of self-described "street-smart" Hank. This is definitely one of the best episodes and keeps you guessing 'til the very end.

Warning: Spoilers
Yet another episode when Peggy is the worst. All in all it's a decent episode. Funny characters and dialog. Jeff Goldblum lends his great voice to be the "villain" and con artist in this episode. Peggy's a malignant narcissistic. Other episodes have showed her having this disorder. She believes deep down in her heart she's a genius even saying she has a 170 IQ from her own opinion. Even after she gets conned into buying an online PHD and is told it was a fake test she refused to believe it. She does come up with a plan to get her and the others their money back but she committed an actual crime in doing so and it wasn't addressed. She basically robbed a man and used her husband without his knowledge.
