Willie wins, but Burns throws the dinner down a hole. His ex-wife, Agnes, tells him that his broken Thanksgiving promise means he has a curse to be tormented from all he has wronged till death.

An accident occurs at the factory, after Homer tried to fill a cup with corn syrup, fell in the container, and pulled a chain, that released all the stored syrup, washing away all the workers. Their ghost start appearing at his mansion, jumpscaring him, pushing him down the balcony to the body of Agnes, blocking his every exit, before surrounding him. He tries giving them food, but they tell him they could fill themself only with his soul. To escape, Burns burns himself on the fire, and the whole manor is burnt down.
