I honestly thought the episode was. It was funny, and didn't go over the top with it's mean spiritedness like some past episodes did. The part with Lincoln getting kicked out of the van has been blowing up. It was supposed to be a funny scene, but I can see where some are coming from that it was too mean. I thought it was a solid episode for Lisa. Nice seeing her act more humane. The ending was also great. Lincoln was in what appeared to be a lose lose situation, but ended up hanging out with his friends along with Lisa (who is back to her normal self at this point) for lunch.

All in all, I think some users (not going to mention any names) want this series to be more nice and heartwarming when it is supposed to be a comedy. It gets to a point where mean spiritedness is no longer funny in episodes like Brawl in The Family, but I think it was fine here.
