The Action News Team aren’t the first to break the stories featured in “Scoop Snoop” and later in “Eye Can’t”. In an attempt to skip a visit to the optometrist, Lisa fashions a pair of glasses that end up further damaging her vision.

Scoop Snoop / Eye Can't is a television programme presented as a single episode. Classified under the episode genre, it brings together two distinct storylines within one broadcast. The first part follows the Action News Team, while the second centres on a character called Lisa. Both segments they're linked by a common theme of characters attempting to shortcut normal procedures. In the opening segment, titled “Scoop Snoop”, the Action News Team discover that they're not the first to break the stories they are chasing. Their rivals manage to publish the news ahead of them, leaving the team trailing behind. This failure to secure the scoop highlights the competitive pressure inherent in news reporting and underscores how quickly the advantage can slip away. The second part, called “Eye Can’t”, follows Lisa as she tries to avoid a visit to the eye doctor. Seeking a quick fix, she's decided to make her own pair of glasses, hoping the homemade lenses will improve her vision. Instead, the self‑made spectacles end up making her eyesight worse, turning what was meant to be a simple solution into a further problem. Both segments illustrate how attempts to bypass established processes can backfire. Whether it is the news team lagging behind competitors or Lisa’s DIY glasses worsening her sight, the programme shows that it's often shortcuts that lead to unintended consequences, reinforcing the idea that conventional routes, though sometimes slower, tend to be more reliable.
