“The Homega Man”: A disagreement between Mayor Quimby and the President of France brings the world to the brink of nuclear war. Concerned about his family’s safety, Homer peruses the interior of a bomb shelter at an army surplus store. France launches a missile and Springfield is destroyed. When Homer emerges from the shelter, he realizes he is the last man on Earth. Shortly thereafter, mutant townspeople emerge from the darkness. Horrified, Homer commandeers a hearse and drives home. He discovers his family was protected from the blast by the layers of lead paint covering the house. Uninterested in constructing a Utopian society, Marge, Lisa and Bart pull out shotguns and begin shooting mutants.

“Fly Vs. Fly”: Homer purchases a matter-transportation device at Professor Frink’s garage sale. Despite his father’s warning to stay away from the machine, Bart deliberately enters a pod carrying a house fly (in hopes of melding with the insect and thereby acquiring superhuman powers). But the boy emerges from the device as two beings: one with Bart’s head and the body of a fly, and one with Bart’s body and a fly’s head. The tiny Bart warns Lisa that his larger counterpart is evil. Fly-Head snatches Bart and swallows him whole. At that moment, Lisa knocks the larger creature into the transporter, and Bart is returned to normal.

“Easy-Bake Coven”: In the Colonial village of Sprynge-Fielde, in the year 1649 A.D., Governor Quimby sentences three witches to be burned at the stake. Afterward, Lovejoy tells the crowd there is still a witch among them. Marge is made the scapegoat, and as a test, she is given a broomstick and shoved off a cliff. Marge plummets toward a canyon floor—and certain death. But suddenly, she sweeps over the crowd on her broom, triumphant. Marge joins her two sisters in a cave, where she spies on the Flanders using a cauldron of witches’ brew. The women decide to eat Rod and Todd, but Ned and Maude convince them to take cookies instead. Thus, the annual of tradition of Halloween was born.
