I know what you've been fooling about
In the fog Marge runs over her neighbor Ned Flanders. The whole family is shocked and hides death. After the funeral, the Simpsons front door says "I know what you did". Several jumpfielders give the Simpson family suspicious looks. All walls in the house are inscribed with the saying. Suddenly a figure with a hoe stands in the house and the family flees by car. When the gas runs out, the Simpsons see that this figure is Ned Flanders. He tells them that he was attacked by a werewolf and also turned into a werewolf when he was run over by the Simpsons. According to his story, the full moon appears behind the clouds, whereupon Flanders mutates into a werewolf and attacks Homer.
Desperately looking for Xena
The children in Springfield are ordered to put their candy on an X-ray machine to check if it contains anything dangerous (see Poisoned candy for Halloween ). There is an accident and Bart and Lisa get superpowers. Bart can stretch supernaturally and Lisa has become extremely strong. Hence, from now on, both fight villains. At a comic fair, Lucy Lawless , the actress who played Xena , is kidnapped by a comic book collector who collects famous people. Stretch Dude (Bart) and Globber Girl (Lisa) pursue the collector to free Lucy aka Xena. The collector wants to immerse the two in acid, but both can save themselves with the help of Lucy.
Life is a slide and then you die
Because Homer is not monitoring a computer in the power plant , electronic devices go crazy and the world ends. Because of her high intelligence, Lisa can get into a spaceship with her mother, which leads to another planet that is being repopulated. Bart and Homer are left behind, thinking they must die now. To their surprise, they see another, unguarded spaceship, which they board immediately. The spaceship, in which only failures travel, flies directly into the sun . Because the passengers start singing terribly, Bart and Homer can no longer stand it and flee into space .
