In the present day, [[Shady Oaks]] cemetery was being dug up to be replaced with the Cholera Pit Fashion Plaza. When one of the coffins was dug up, it was found to contain two skeletons. One of the skeletons had the business card for [[Simpson and O'Donnell Detective Agency]] on it, which [[Abraham Simpson]] was half of. The police then questioned Abe about the business card.
  
In '82, [[Agnes Skinner]] showed up at Simpsons and O'Donnel and asked Grampa and Billy O'Donnell to follow his boyfriend, [[Mr. Burns]], as she's suspecting him of cheating. Due to Grampa having to babysit Homer, Billy proposes to go with Agnes, but Grampa tells them he never got back. [[Lisa]] doesn't wanna stop and uses her forensic kit for traces of blood and find AB-negative on it. At the [[Springfield Department of Motor Vehicles|DMV]], with the help of [[Patty]] and [[Selma]] they find out that Billy was AB-negative.

In the 1980s, Billy O'Donnell and [[Abraham Simpson]] ran the Simpson and O'Donnell Detective Agency together. One day, a young [[Agnes Skinner]] came to them and asked them to investigate her boyfriend, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]], whom she suspected of cheating on her. Abe and Agnes hit it off and flirted with each other, but when Agnes saw that Abe had to babysit a young [[Homer]], she went with Billy instead. However, Billy never returned after the investigation, and Abe renamed the agency to "Simpson and Nobody Private Investigators."
  
Lisa takes the folder to Grampa and tells him they found Billy's car where today is the [[Power Plant]] and Grampa tells her she's messing with things she should let lie. But Lisa kept insisting, and he started telling more, that he went on searching him but he couldn't find him, or Agnes, till he was tipped he'd find her at the [[Springfield Squidport]]. After some romance between the two, she told him what happened that night, that they were following Mr. Burns and [[Smithers]] too see what he was up to, and Billy told her to wait in the car, but in the morning she was woken up by [[Cletus]] and Billy wasn't back.

Abe went to investigate what happened to Billy, but nobody knew what had happened to him except Agnes, with whom he couldn't get in contact.

In the present day, Grampa and [[Bart]] went to see Agnes, and Abe asked her again what she knew. Agnes helped crack the case by showing Abe a sample of something the road had been covered with that night, and Abe went to confront Mr. Burns.
  
Later, at [[Burns' manor]], it's revealed that Billy was killed by Mr. Burns and to hide the truth, Grampa and Burns signed a deal where he'd hire Homer at the plant and he wouldn't have been fired no matter how bad he screwed up, currently a total of 742 times. Grampa tells Burns he found out his real secret, that he built the power plant with shredded phone books and then he killed him, but Burns tells him that he only paid him to keep secrecy and that he's alive at a tropical island and he gets the confirmation when Burns calls him.

In the '80s, Abe also confronted Burns about his partner's disappearance, and Burns said that he had taken a one-way trip to paradise.

In the present, Abe confronted Burns again, who then revealed that Billy had, in fact, gone to live on a tropical island, and then started a video call with him.
