About the episode
Bart brings Santa's Little Helper to show-and-tell, and when the dog's escape through the air vents ends with Groundskeeper Willie landing on Superintendent Chalmers, Principal Skinner is fired. Skinner returns to military service while Ned Flanders, the new principal, lets the school slide into anarchy. Feeling guilty, Bart helps get Flanders dismissed so Skinner can return, which puts the two back on opposite sides.
