content
In the opening sequence, Bart, Lisa and Maggie are shown returning home from collecting candy. Marge, disguised as a "swap witch", takes away the sweets and replaces them with hygiene products. Homer is supposed to take the candy to a collection point for the troops overseas. But he secretly drives to "Candy Eating Peak" outside Springfield to eat them himself. He falls down and gets his arm trapped under a boulder. When trying to chew off the trapped arm, he first catches the wrong one, then the leg. When he finally freed himself, he notices that there are only vegetables in the bag. The children have the sweets.
Flatulenzia

Homer wakes up from a coma to find that he is completely paralyzed and unable to speak. In a flashback, he recalls being bitten by a spider while trying to decorate the house for Halloween. Lisa discovers that Homer can control his gas. In this way he dictates a letter to Marge for her and even publishes a book. After another spider bite, he gains the ability to produce spider threads and, according to Spider-Man's submission, becomes a superhero, although he is still completely paralyzed.

When Marge asks him to undo everything, he meekly points out that this would not please Satan. This also appears and with him Maude, Ned's deceased wife, who has a relationship with Satan.
