But when he fails (spectacularly), he does what any nine-year-old genius would do: he brings in a ringer. The highlight of the episode is the return of the beloved Dr. John Sturgis (Wallace Shawn).

She makes a bet with her mother, Mary (Zoe Perry), that if she doesn't pray for a week, nothing bad will happen. This B-plot is surprisingly heavy
