Synopsis

Opening segment

Kang and Kodos are preparing dinner for their boss, using the Simpsons. Bart and Homer are the main course, Lisa is in a soup, and Marge and Maggie are pies. The boss comments on the delicious meal and vomits Bart out. Kang and Kodos get a hyper-galactic promotion. Bart gets sad on how he is an orphan, but he is adopted by Kang and Kodos. The segment ends with closing credits, along with freeze frames from it and the song "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now" playing, a'la the closing credits of Perfect Strangers.

The Ned Zone

Homer throws a bowling ball on the roof the get his Frisbee down. He accidentally hits Ned on his head. When Ned recovers, he sees Dr. Hibbert falling from the hospital. It later happens. Ned realizes he can see people's deaths, including him shooting Homer. Ned doesn't and sees Homer blowing up Springfield. Ned tries to warn him in the reactor control room, but his warning is scrambled by static. He shoots Homer, but Homer's tongue presses the destruct button and blows up Springfield. Homer, Marge and all the Simpsons go to Heaven as angels and meet God.

Four Beheadings and a Funeral

In 1890 London, someone is killing the city's women. Detective Eliza Simpson and her overly-amazed assistant Dr. Bartley trace the swords used to industrialist C. Ebinezer Burns. The police arrest Homer and are about to hang him. However, Eliza finds the real murderer: Inspector Wiggum. Wiggum escapes in a hot-air balloon, but it is popped by Kang and Kodos' Victorian era-style spacecraft. However, it all turns out to be a dream that Ralph Wiggum is having, which is part of an even crazier dream.

In the Belly of the Boss

At the "Invention Expo", Prof. Frink creates a machine that shrinks objects. Maggie gets inside a pill he created and is swallowed by Mr. Burns. The only thing that can save her is for the other Simpsons to imitate "Fantastic Voyage". Homer's refusal to follow Frink's instructions gets them stuck in Burns' heart. They manage to get the ship free and are able to reach the stomach by catching a ride on a nerve impulse. They save Maggie, but their submarine doesn't have enough power to save them all. Homer is forced to stay behind. After the Simpsons escape, Homer returns to his original size...inside Mr. Burns' skin, similar to when Burns' head was attached to Homer's body at the end of the second Treehouse of Horror. Even though Homer complains that he needs several holes, Burns is confident that things will work out. The episode ends with Burns and Homer dancing to "I've Got You Under My Skin", joined by several characters from the episode.

Quotes

  • Wiggum: Remember me for my police work and not the murder.
  • Homer: Peh. Science. Has science ever kissed a woman or won the Super Bowl or put a man on the moon?
  • Scotland Yard motto: What's all this, then?
  • Burns: The sword of Osiris. I once possessed the entire collection, but I sold them all for opium. Oh, how I wish I had them back...to sell for more opium.
  • Marge: Why is my swimsuit so revealing?
    Homer: Marge, that's what turns a mediocre voyage into a fantastic voyage!
  • Ned: (after he sees the Rosie O'Donnell musical closing after three performances) Well, I didn't need any special power to know that was coming.
  • Prof. Frink: Let the commencement begin-ulate.
  • Wiggum: Why can't you be more like Eddie. He doesn't say a word against me.
    Lou: That's cause you cut out his tongue.
    Eddie: (without tongue) Eth ight, theef.
  • Homer: I wonder if I can blow up Heaven.
  • Wiggum: Let's see the suspect in that child abduction case.
    Peter Pan: I shall never grow up.
    Wiggum: Uh, in jail you will.
  • Comic Book Guy: This potion will give me new life.
    (CBG reaches for a potion, but his strength fails and the potion spills on a stool. It shakes it off like a dog)
    Simon: I'm alive. I'm going to go to America. I'll be in pictures, you'll see. The whole world's going to know the name "Simon Stoodiwitz".
  • Homer: Help me, science! (he says this right after he says the top quote)
  • Lisa: To reach Maggie in time, we'll have to catch a ride on a nerve impulse, the body's information superhighway!
    Bart: Learning is fun!
    Homer: And to make sure we get there superfast, I'm going press all the buttons with my palm.
    (Homer does so. It launches several missiles, machine guns, and depth charges, causing several explosions. One of these occurs in Burns' stomach, stretching the skin and slowly returning to normal size.)
    Burns: (calm) Well, that hurt like hell.
  • Ned: (into intercom microphone) Homer, don't press the core destruct button. (inside control room) Press (static) destruct button.
    (Homer shrugs and stands up to press the button)
    Ned: (into intercom microphone) Don't do it! Don't do it! You'll kill everyone! (inside control room) (static) Do it! (static) Do it! (static) Kill everyone!
  • Lisa: Dad, you want some of my Snickers cake?
    Burns: No thank you. I'm full enough as it is.
    Homer: I say when we're full! You don't want to piss off a guy who can kick you in the crotch from the inside!
  • Prof. Frink: With the thiamine and the niacin and the riboFLAVIN!
  • Lisa: (after learning that they can't all be saved) Oh my god! This is the worst Halloween horror we've ever faced!
    (camera switches to show that Marge's clothes are being eaten by white blood cells)
    Marge: White blood cells are attacking my clothes! (The cells begin to fall off before they eat too much that would show Marge's breasts) Although I must admit, they know when to stop.
