Homer keeps a bedside vigil in the hospital until Clancy awakes, but grows tired of Clancy's neediness and goes to Moe's for a break.

Neither police officers Lou nor Eddie can find the chief, but Homer finds him on the same hillside where they first hung out together.

While it is never resolved whether Dylan is male or female, Bart becomes hooked on this game. His jargon and secretive behavior lead [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Principal_Skinner Principal Skinner] to suspect Bart of dealing drugs. Marge cannot believe that Bart would become involved with drugs, but she becomes suspicious and searches his room. When he catches her rifling through his things, he shows her his Battle Ball gear and she is satisfied that his interests are legal. Bart is horrified, though, that Marge thinks the game is cute and decides to flush it down the toilet, causing it to overflow.
