https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncut_Femmes

While on a chaperone trip with Bart's class, Marge finds out that Ralph Wiggum's mother Sarah actually has more to her personality on the inside than on the outside.

Guest stars: Joe Mantegna as Fat Tony, Megan Mullally as Sarah Wiggum, Nick Offerman as Captain Bowditch, Natasha Rothwell as Bette, Bob Seger as himself and Tiya Sircar as Erin

After discovering something terrible in the nuclear power plant, Waylon Smithers bribes Carl to keep what he has found quiet by giving him tickets to a Bob Seger concert. He invites Homer to join him, and he leaves Marge to chaperone a field trip on a World War II battleship, to her dismay. At the field trip, Marge pairs up with the seemingly-boring Sarah Wiggum. After the latter sneakily tricks the children into going to bed early, Marge realizes that Sarah is not who she seems and is hiding her mean spirited boisterous and bratty personality from the other mothers. The two are soon kidnapped after spending all night together, and Marge and Sarah find themselves in the lair of two women that Sarah surprisingly used to thrive with; Sarah was the team's "honeypot" who seduced men to distract them from their heists. The other burglars, Erin and Bette, explain how, while they and Sarah were heisting a museum where Chief Clancy Wiggum was on duty, the fourth member of their team - Lindsay Naegle - betrayed them and had them arrested. However, Sarah was spared the fate due to falling in love and having slept with Wiggum. The women plot to steal the Hourglass Diamond from their betrayer, who is attending the prestigious Gen Gala. Marge turns out to be useful in the planning, pointing out that most of the entrances will be blocked by celebrities, fans and the paparazzi and they will need stylish costumes to blend in, so they recruit her for the heist. Meanwhile, Homer and Wiggum run into each other at the concert, where Seger scolds them for breaking their promises to their wives. Feeling remorseful, they return to the battleship only to learn of the kidnapping, with Ralph as the sole witness. Wiggum and Homer confront Fat Tony, accusing him of kidnapping their wives, but he denies doing so and also suggests that the two's disappearance may have something to do with their husbands' selfishness and absentmindedness. Leaving Ralph in Fat Tony's temporary care, Wiggum and Homer search for their wives while realizing that they do not know them very well, but then see Marge and Sarah attending the gala on TV. The four women execute the heist perfectly until Naegle realizes she has been robbed and calls the police. As Marge and Sarah attempt to flee, Homer and Wiggum call out to their wives via a megaphone to apologize. Attempting to quiet Wiggum's loud calls for her name, Sarah tackles him to the ground, thus revealing her real personality to a surprised Wiggum. While attempting to stop Marge and Sarah herself, Naegle ends up tumbling down the long amount of stairs and is exposed by Erin and Bette and arrested for stealing other women's jewelry, allowing Marge and Sarah to escape publicly with the jewel, much to the surprise of Patty and Selma and their friends who are watching the gala back at the Simpson house. During the credits, Wiggum and Sarah have sex at the gala after she tells him the full history of her past. Wiggum then realizes that he forgot about Ralph, who is still bonding with Fat Tony in father-son activities.

Homer is to be prescribed a drug by Dr. Hibbert for his low testosterone, but when he sees a preview commercial for a high-torque truck, he buys that instead. The truck comes with a subscription to a music streaming service. Its algorithm recommends that Lisa should listen to The Snuffs, a 1980s British band fronted by morose vegan Quilloughby (parodies of The Smiths and Morrissey). Lisa becomes a fan of the Snuffs and gets vegan tacos on the school menu, but they are mistakenly made with bacon. Upset and humiliated, she develops an imaginary friend in the form of Quilloughby. He gives her witty retorts to Bart and music teacher Mr Largo. Principal Skinner calls Homer and Marge to school to discuss Lisa's bad attitude. Marge considers Quilloughby to be the source of her daughter's rebelliousness, so she cancels the music subscription.

She tires of the imaginary singer's cynicism, and both are shocked to see that the real one is now an overweight bigot with anti-immigrant views who has abandoned veganism.

Bart's in Jail!

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bart%27s_in_Jail!

Grampa is tricked by a phone scammer into believing that he needs to bail Bart out of jail, costing him $10,000. When Homer learns that that money was intended to be his inheritance, he blames Grampa for falling for a stupid trick, while Bart and Lisa try to track the scammer down and Marge begins to think that everything in life is a con. Guest stars: Alan Cumming as Loki, Scott Hanson as "Punt Zone" Announcer, Alex Hirsch as Bill Cipher and Joel H. Cohen as Old Joel

Grampa receives an urgent phone call telling him that Bart is in jail and that he needs to get $10,000 to the "authorities" or Bart will face a massive prison sentence. Because Grampa not-unreasonably finds the notion of Bart being in jail to be plausible and also because he wants to help his grandson, he does wire the money, only to realize that he was the victim of a scam. Everyone except Homer feels bad for Grampa and consoles him with their own stories of being scammed. When Homer learns that Grampa lost his $10,000 and that the money was planned as an inheritance for himself, he gets so angry that he keeps mocking and yelling at Grampa at length. Marge, Lisa and Bart finally get him to stop treating Grampa so badly over an honest mistake after Homer gets scammed himself and they all go over to the retirement home so Homer can apologize—and they are all there when another scammer calls in to try the same "(Person) In Jail" scam by using Lisa's name. Lisa then gets an idea that involves Grampa using his talent of having long aimless conversations to keep the scammers talking until Lisa can use advanced computer software to pinpoint their location to a building in Shelbyville. The family heads there and finds out the place is a boiler room operation whose callers are not criminal masterminds but people (including Moe) working for minimum-wage gift cards. Chief Wiggum and his fellow police officers break up the ring, but Marge wonders if they really did any good considering how corrupt the entire world is. She later decides she will not let herself become that cynical, and gives a woman claiming to have left her wallet at home $20 to buy gas and her address to send it back. Some time later, Marge does get the money back in the post, and her faith in humanity is restored—as it is revealed that Grampa actually sent her the letter and the money, not wanting to see Marge's spirit be ruined by the scams around the world. As the credits roll, Moe is shown using well-known scamming methods.

One night while the mafia were negotiating with the Szyslak brothers over money taken by the then-collector Kostas, the two groups engaged in a gunfight that killed all but one. The Sheriff shot the last man and hid the money in a tree, but when Kostas demanded the money back, he accidentally killed the Sheriff who slid right into his knife. The police arrived and accidentally crashed a car into the tree, knocking it down the hill. Back in the present, Homer discovers that Seamus and Collette are married and celebrating their tenth anniversary. After Homer tricks them into arguing, a pot on the stove catches fire and spreads, causing the burning house to crush Seamus and Collette. While Marge saves Homer from the wreckage, Ned breaks into Barb's orphanage to steal the money back, and seduces her to get the key to the safe. Ned drives away with the money and passes by an escaped Homer, which causes Ned to crash his car which catches on fire. Homer saves Ned by pulling him out of the burning car with the money. While Ned goes into hiding, the townsfolk hail Homer as a hero for recovering the money for the orphanage, but Marge, knowing Homer actually meant to pull out the money for himself instead of saving Ned, becomes ashamed of him. Three years later, Homer and Marge own a car repair shop but their marriage is still strained. Bart is a well-behaved Boy Scout, and Lisa now has several friends. After receiving a blank postcard from Wyoming, Homer travels there to visit Ned, who is hiding out in a cabin in the woods, to deliver him supplies.

They escape from the cabin, and Ned fights Kostas on a frozen lake where Kostas reveals to Ned his grandfather's dark secrets, causing an enraged Ned to attack Kostas. Ned throws his debt book onto the frozen lake, and Kostas goes to retrieve it, which causes the ice to break, and he falls in and drowns.

The Sound of Bleeding Gums

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sound_of_Bleeding_Gums

Lisa becomes enraged when a song by Bleeding Gums Murphy is remixed to promote the Springfield lottery, leading to her tracking down the late jazz musician's son.

Guest stars: John Autry II as Monk Murphy, Kathy Buckley as Thespian Girl and Eli Steele as "The Sky's the Limit" Director Additional vocals: Kaylee Arellano, Hazel Lopez, and Ian Mayorga singing "Happy Talk"

The plot of the episode was inspired by the life of its writer, Loni Steele Sosthand, whose brother, Eli, is hearing impaired. Sosthand grew up with a father who introduced jazz to the family and considered a situation where Lisa discovers Bleeding Gums Murphy has a deaf son. American Sign Language was also used in the episode, and the producers used two ASL consultants to make sure the ASL was as accurate as possible, despite the limitation of Simpsons characters only having four fingers on each hand. Other roles were played by three other deaf actors – Ian Mayorga, Kaylee Arellano, and Hazel Lopez – from No Limits, a nonprofit dedicated to deaf children. This episode marked the first time a deaf actor was cast on The Simpsons: John Autry II as Monk. Sosthand recommended casting Autry as Monk to executive producers James L. Brooks and Al Jean. Autry was previously cast in a television pilot that Sosthand developed based on her and her brother's lives. Sosthand's brother Eli and deaf comedian Kathy Buckley also voiced characters in the episode. This is also the first speaking appearance of Bleeding Gums Murphy since the death of his original voice actor, Ron Taylor, in 2002. Here, Murphy is voiced in flashback and ghost form by Kevin Michael Richardson.

He finds himself the new mascot of Grampa and his friend Gus Redfield's fast food restaurant Go n' Try which becomes a success after Krusty is hired, but after he demands more money the two fire him and as revenge he opens his own fast food franchise. Gus vows revenge on him while Grampa cowardly retreats. In the present, Krusty is celebrating the 50th anniversary of his fast food chain which everyone in town including the Simpson family attends. When Lisa asks why Grampa is upset, he explains that every Simpson is cursed to fail at everything they try, but Lisa vows to break the curse somehow. Meanwhile, Krusty is about to announce a new burger when a now elderly Gus, who is now rich and runs his own corporation called Redstar, buys Krusty's entire franchise, thus leaving Krusty broke. Gus then reunites with Grampa and then asks for him to be his new partner which he happily accepts. Gus takes Grampa and Lisa to his home where he introduces them to his children Colby, Mav, and Sheila. Sheila and Lisa bond over their shared love of nature and she convinces Lisa to help her vote her father out of their company so she can gain control and turn Redstar into Greenstar, an environmental company. Lisa agrees to convince Grampa to vote Gus out of the company. Lisa accompanies Grampa to the board meeting as he along with the Redfield family, German politician Angela Merkel, businessman Kevin O'Leary, and TikTok star Charli D'Amelio prepare to cast their votes. Sheila and her brothers reveal their plan to the board members to remove their father from the company and take control. The three vote to oust him while the other members — including Grampa to repay Gus for not sticking up to him years ago — vote against it. However, Gus reveals that he had already suspected his children were plotting against him and only brought Grampa to protect him from the vote; he then removes all three of his kids from his will and reveals he never truly cared for Grampa. As payback, Grampa then turns his vote into a long and nonsensical story to nullify it from the board meeting, thus leaving the vote tied and the company in ruins. Losing interest in the conflict, Lisa and Grampa leave the meeting. On the bus home, Lisa apologizes to Grampa for being unable to break the Simpson curse; but he assures her that despite all his bad decisions, he is lucky to have her as his granddaughter. Meanwhile at a kibbutz in Israel, Krusty is being congratulated on his success in growing potatoes by Naharai, a fellow kibbutznik. The Redstar lawyer appears in a helicopter revealing Gus's plot and offers Krusty his franchise back. Krusty then flies back to the U.S with her, happy to be a clown again, while Naharai muses that Krusty was the least funny person on the kibbutz.

Bart makes an embarrassing presentation about his father for Sunday school, so Marge encourages Homer to take Bart to work with him to show their son what a good provider Homer is.

In Sunday school, Bart shows his class a humiliating supercut of Homer acting out, causing Homer to fear that Bart does not respect him. After Marge suggests that she felt proud of her father when he took her to his job one day, Homer takes Bart to the power plant, where he is won over by the privileges and high pay that Homer earns. Bart declares that he wants to be a nuclear safety inspector like his father, but while he is at the power plant the next day, a janitor tells him that Homer's job does not exist for the current generation. Through song, the janitor explains the build-up and eventual decline of the middle class, and Lisa raps on how higher standards in education and rising cost of student loans will stop Bart from taking over Homer's position. Bart then argues that he can make a living through selling cryptocurrency or as a social media influencer, but the janitor finds it unlikely. Various elderly residents of Springfield complain about their bad political candidates, whom they vote for due to fearmongering on social media. Bart gives up and accepts that he has no future, but the janitor follows him to his treehouse and implores him to burn the system and reform it, which Bart takes literally by taking off his clothes and throwing them onto a barbecue grill. As the treehouse goes up in flames, Bart fearfully admits that he does want to live to see the future. He is rescued by some firemen, who tell him about their job benefits and security. Bart then realizes that his true future is in firefighting, as there will always be fires in the world for him to put out.

Determined to solve the mystery and to prove his intelligence, Homer reviews pictures from the trip and finds dolly tracks near Leonard's habitat, suspecting that he was stolen. He presents the clue to Chief Wiggum, who does not take him seriously. At Marge's suggestion, Homer finds a group about Slow Leonard on Facelook and posts his theory, which is positively received by group members Comic Book Guy, Gil Gunderson, Ms. Hoover, Sideshow Mel and Drederick Tatum. Live-streaming his theories from the zoo to his Facelook friends, he recruits Superintendent Chalmers for his group, and invites his friends over to collaborate and exchange ideas. After Homer protests outside the zookeeper's house, during which an interested Wiggum joins the group and Gil proposes to Hoover, Marge worries that Homer is taking his conspiracy theories too far, but he says that he enjoys the company of his group. Homer soon inadvertently finds Slow Leonard while exploring a rabbit burrow after a protest. Fearful that he will lose his friends if the mystery is solved, Homer tries to keep Leonard secret, but during Gil and Hoover's wedding reception, he overhears his group coming up with increasingly violent ideas on how to get information from the zookeeper, whom Homer knows is innocent.

Lisa the Boy Scout

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_the_Boy_Scout

A story about Lisa joining the newly co-ed Boy Explorers and competing against Bart is interrupted by two Pseudo-Nonymous hackers who hold the program for ransom while revealing various "show-destroying" scenes that were never meant for broadcast, featuring the Simpson family, Lenny, Martin, Comic Book Guy, Seymour and Agnes Skinner, Superintendent Chalmers, and numerous others. Guest stars: Anna Faris as Ashley the Female Hacker, Matthew Friend as Baby Jeff Goldblum, Megan Mullally as Sarah Wiggum

The episode begins with Bart preparing for the annual Boy Explorers jamboree, only to be angered and jealous to learn that Lisa has too joined the Boy Explorers and already received three badges. Suddenly, two anonymous masked and voice-modulated hackers hijack the broadcast and proceed to play clips that paint the show in a bad or shocking light. Among such scenes include Lenny being a figment of Carl's imagination, a middle-aged Bart traveling back to the first episode, Martin actually being an adult married man with a family, and Homer waking up from a coma after his fall down Springfield Gorge. Among the "unreleased" clips mixed in are actual nonsensical clips from derided episodes such as "Saddlesore Galactica" and "The Fat and the Furriest". During breaks in the montages, the two hackers' voice modulators stop working, and the two become attracted to one another, particularly the male hacker's British accent, and start making out, resulting in their masks falling off, revealing their faces on-air. Law enforcement officials eventually find the hackers' hideout, but are let free when the two threaten to leak shocking clips from other parts of The Walt Disney Company, including Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, and National Geographic as well as deleting all Marvel movies from Disney+ except for the Edward Norton version of The Incredible Hulk. The scene then shifts back to the end of the Boy Explorers episode, where Bart and Lisa, having somehow gotten lost in the woods during the broadcast interruption, manage to make their way out safe but scared by the experience, and Homer and Marge reveal that they almost got divorced over a small and insignificant matter but were able to get over it quickly. During the credits, the hackers have escaped from the law enforcement on their motorcycle. Stopping along the road to formally introduce each other, they both learn that they share the same first name of Ashley and the hackers make out in front of the sunset.

Not It

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Not_It

In this parody of the 2017 supernatural horror film It and its 2019 sequel It Chapter Two, a young Homer Simpson and his friends go up against Krusto, a Pennywise parody of Krusty the Clown.

Not It In Kingfield in 1990, a young Barney Gumble plays with a paper boat in the gutter on a rainy day. When the boat goes into the sewer, Barney finds Krusto, who drags him into the sewer, killing him. Sometime after this, while putting up missing person posters for Barney, Homer is attacked by local bullies Super-Intense-Kid Chalmers, Seymour Skinner and Dewey Largo. Homer sees Krusto in the bushes, watching the bullying. Homer calls out to the clown, whom the bullies do not see, and escapes down the hill, with the bullies following. As they get to the river at the bottom, a group of kids, the Losers, consisting of Marge Bouvier, Comic Book Guy, Carl Carlson and Moe Syszlak, come to Homer's aid. Marge hits Chalmers in the face with a baseball and the bullies run away. The Losers take Homer to their clubhouse, where they share stories of their encounters with Krusto. Determined to stop him, the Losers go to the Kingfield Clown Archives to research Krusto. Marge and Homer discover that Krusto has had several shows over many years and he was not funny in any of them, and has resurfaced every 27 years to kill children. As Marge and Homer show a clip from Krusto's 1963 show The Yuk-Yuk Hour with Krusto!, Krusto emerges from the television and tries to kill Comic Book Guy. Homer stabs Krusto with some garden shears before Marge shuts the TV off, temporarily defeating Krusto. The gang then arm themselves and go to the Channel 14 studios to defeat Krusto. Inside, Homer sees a box labeled "Free Candy" and opens it, revealing Krusto hidden inside. The Losers attack Krusto with their weapons, but they are ineffective. As Krusto starts to brag about being invincible, he slips on some marbles and goes through a lengthy slapstick comedy routine where he hurts himself repeatedly. The children all laugh at this, which surprises Krusto as it is the first time children have actually laughed at him. Krusto continues to hurt himself for laughs until Marge gives him some cherry bombs to eat. Krusto eats the cherry bombs and explodes, then slithers down a drain. Later, the gang makes a pact to reunite in 27 years to kill Krusto for good. Then Marge makes out with Comic Book Guy, who had stolen and taken credit for a love poem that Homer wrote for her in the library. Not It: Part Two 27 years later in 2017, Moe has become a rock and roll ventriloquist; Carl has become an astronaut; Marge has started a successful seltzer company, and she and Comic Book Guy have gotten married and have two children named Bert and Lizzie; while Homer remains in Kingfield where he runs a local bar, D'ohs Tavern. When Jimbo, Dolph, Kearney, and Nelson are killed by Krusto, who baited them with a newly-opened pie shop, Homer calls up the other Losers to help him defeat Krusto once more. Comic Book Guy argues with Marge as he refuses to go and help the gang stop Krusto, but Marge leaves in the night to go by herself. As the gang reunites at D'ohs and tries to come up with a plan to defeat Krusto once and for all, Comic Book Guy arrives with the kids to bring Marge home. Marge tells the kids to wait in the car while she argues with Comic Book Guy. Bert and Lizzie then walk past a secondhand store and get kidnapped by Krusto, which he reveals to the Losers on their phones. The gang then returns to Channel 14 to rescue the kids and tell Krusto that they have gotten over their childhood fears so he has no power over them anymore. Krusto then reveals that adults have something tastier than fears - anxieties. He makes the gang see the things they are anxious about and grows more powerful from the laughter of his ghost audience. He also reveals that Comic Book Guy did not write the love poem he gave Marge. Bert and Lizzie realize that he gets his power from the sign commanding the ghost audience to laugh. Homer gives Marge a rock to throw at the sign, and Marge realizes that Homer wrote the poem for her. When Krusto tries to eat Marge, Comic Book Guy sacrifices himself by jumping in the way, allowing Marge to throw the rock at the sign, destroying it. The ghost kids go off to Heaven as Krusto loses all his power and dies. Marge tells her dying husband that although she cannot forgive him for lying to her, she is proud of him for finally showing his bravery. Bert, Lizzie and the surviving Losers ride out of the ruins, and Homer and Marge get together. On their UFO, Kang and Kodos realize that their invasion plan has failed and look through other books to decide on what they can use next for world domination.

Treehouse of Horror XXXIII

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Treehouse_of_Horror_XXXIII

Kang and Kodos read a book of three terrifying tales in a wizard's hovel: "The Pookadook": In this parody of The Babadook, Marge reads Maggie a storybook about a monster that feeds on people's rage and is released by the very act of reading the book itself. "Death Tome": In this parody of Death Note, Lisa comes across a tome that will kill anybody whose name is written in it, but only if the manner of death is different each time as she is aided by a Shinigami named Steve Johnson. "Simpsonsworld": In this parody of Westworld, robot versions of the Simpson family become self-aware to discover themselves in an advanced amusement park known as Simpsonsworld. Guest stars: John Roberts as Linda Belcher, Hank Williams, Jr. singing "Canyonero!"

The Pookadook In a parody of The Babadook, Marge reads Maggie a bedtime story about a murderous ghostly spirit. After multiple attempts to destroy the book, Marge burns it. The smoke is inhaled by Marge and she becomes possessed by the monster. She starts chasing Maggie around the house in attempt to murder her. Marge finally gets hold of Maggie, but Maggie rubs Marge's cheek causing Marge to become overcome with love, purging the possessive smoke from her body. Marge contains the monster by sucking up the smoke with a vacuum cleaner in the basement. Death Tome In an anime-styled parody of Death Note, Lisa is cast as Light Yagami when she finds a book labeled "Death Tome". Inside, it says that if a person's name is written in the book, that person will die, but with the stipulation that every name must have a unique death; that cannot be repeated with another person's name written. After arriving home, Lisa watches a news report with Marge, showing Snake Jailbird, who is holding a famous internet cat hostage. Lisa writes his name in the book, causing Snake to die from a heart attack. Realizing her newfound powers, she goes to her room and contemplates her actions. A shinigami named Steve Johnson appears and tells Lisa that the Death Tome now belongs to her. Lisa visits the dining room downstairs and sees Mr. Burns, who is visiting the Simpsons for dinner. He reveals plans for his new company, GLOBO-WARM, which plans to melt the icecaps so he can park his new yacht right outside his kitchen. Lisa decides that Burns should "die in his sleep" to stop GLOBO-WARM, though he immediately falls asleep while standing up, and his face falls onto a hibachi instead, much to Marge and Homer's shock. Steve informs Lisa that the company has a large board of directors and she will have to kill them all. A dramatic montage shows Lisa writing names and people dying in humorous and very specific ways. The day after Lisa's killing spree, a news report says that the killings of the GLOBO-WARM executives have been ruled as homicides in accordance with a tip from L, an anonymous source. Lisa recognizes the L from graffiti artwork that reads "El Barto". In an alleyway, Bart reveals he learned of Lisa's Death Tome from her diary. Fearing Bart will expose her, Lisa begins to write Bart's name in the book, but recants upon realizing how the book corrupted her and writes Steve's death instead as the shinigami is crushed to death by space junk. She is excited about being free from the book, but she is transformed into a shinigami, much to her horror. Bart comforts her by suggesting that, as the new shinigami, she could kill anyone she wishes. Simpsons World In a parody of Westworld, a Disneyland-style amusement park based on The Simpsons called Simpsons World has android replicas of the family reenacting scenes from past episodes for the park's visitors. During a re-enactment of "Marge vs. the Monorail" where Homer is showing off the monorail's control panel, two tourists pour beer down the android Homer's throat, causing him to hit his head, malfunction, and be taken away by two employees for repair. Homer wakes up on an operating table and sees the tablet the employees used earlier to shut him off. He then raises the "self-awareness" setting and realizes that he is a robot. The employees try to remove the android Homer's brain, but his clumsiness causes him to launch various operating equipment (and a chainsaw) at the employees, killing them. Realizing that he must escape, he wakes up the other android Simpson family members, beginning with a Lisa from "Lisa's Rival", and makes them self-aware. As the android family attempt to flee the park, multiple Australian tourists watching The Be Sharps then begin to heckle the android Homer to do the "bush meme". Bart then removes Homer's inability to intentionally harm humans, causing him to push the tourists into the bushes, killing them. The park then announces that rogue robots are afoot, and unleashes security droids in the form of several Ralph Wiggum robots. Lisa, Homer, and Bart then defend themselves from the swarm with weapons including a makeup shotgun, a T-shirt cannon, and Bart's iconic slingshot until Marge drives in a Canyonero and saves them. They then speed through the park, tearing down a statue of Matt Groening on their way out. After driving for hours, the android Simpson family hide out in a diner, where they cautiously discuss assimilating into human life. Their waitress then turns out to be an android of Bob's Burgers character Linda Belcher. It is then revealed to the audience that there are multiple theme parks similar to Simpsons World based on different long-running animated TV shows. Closing sequence In a Chiodo Bros.-produced stop-motion sequence during the credits, Kang and Kodos finish the book depicting the stories, and freak out when they see themselves on the last page.

He was angered when he discovered that Marge had secretly kept a safe deposit box, which contains her late father Clancy's will, where she would receive $1,000 per month. Goobie Woo says that Bart and Lisa are aware of the money, which further angers Homer, who speculates that Marge uses it to pleasure herself. Instead, Goobie Woo reveals that Marge uses the money to help Homer when he gets in trouble. She also shows Homer that Clancy left Marge the money because he did not trust Homer to provide for her. He asks why he could see Clancy, and she says it is because Homer has died. Homer goes to hell, where he is forced to stand in line and wait to be boiled in blood. While waiting, he spots Clancy, who shows him a future where Lisa brings home a terrible boyfriend, and Homer realizes it is the same way Clancy felt about him. The revelation allows Homer to return to Earth and survive the crash.
