[playing Scrabble]
Bart: Kwyjibo: K-W-Y-J-I-B-O. Twenty-two points. Plus, triple-word score, plus fifty points for using all my letters... Game's over, I'm outta here.
Homer: Wait a minute, you little cheater. You're not going anywhere 'til you tell me what a Kwyjibo is.
Bart: Kwyjibo. Uh, a big dumb, balding North American ape. With no chin.
Marge: And a short temper.
Homer: I'll show you a big dumb balding ape!
Bart: Uh oh, Kwyjibo on the loose!

For the second episode, we are given a study of how Bart fits into his school. After faking an test, he is determined to be a genius and sent off to a school of gifted kids. He gets a place free of rules, but it's elitist and exclusionary.
The other gifted kids know he's faking and his former friends hate him.
Another large source of the plot is how Homer and Bart interact; something that prevails all throughout Season 1.
In this case, Homer starts to give preferential treatment and it's funny to see.
As the earlier Simpsons maintain a moral bent nearly every episode, it has a strong lesson of appreciating where you belong, even if it doesn't make you the most happy. I liked this better than the first episode because it more properly represented what the Simpsons are about and felt better paced.
A pretty strong showing here.
