Synopsis[edit]
- "The Simpsons are trapped on a flight with the most unruly passengers in America."
Plot[edit]
At the United States Capitol, at the joint committee on terrible events, Marge is testifying in a process for the events of March 12 against Convenience Airways. On a trip to Pile Ridge, Louisiana, for the Bouvier family boucherie, Lisa's lentil soup spills all inside the luggage. Lisa points out how she takes it to eat something else over the meal they are going to eat. Scrolling through the pictures on Facelook, Homer gets annoyed at the picture of Patty and Selma, and the judge points it out to him. Homer gets angry at the waiting room seats being full of people and their luggage, and the lactation pod having Patty and Selma inside. Homer almost gets run over by Sideshow Mel and Krusty when they're called for boarding Active-duty TV clowns.
They're told that the flight is overbooked and they're no longer seated together, and Homer demands to speak to Sully Sullenberger, and Marge shuts him up before he gets them banned, as he's on the no-fly list of all other airlines, and if this one bans him too, they'd go on any other vacation at her mother's. As good news, a spot is free in first class, and Marge snaps it from the attendant as she boards the plane. She joins the first class, leaving the rest of the family to join the regular passengers. She gets all the good treatment while the rest of the family has to endure a less comfortable flight.
Joel starts making annoying jokes on the intercom, and Bart complains about it while playing on his Funtendo Glitch and tablet, which Maggie wants to take, but Lisa takes her away from it, showing her some jazz flashcards. A woman next to Homer starts going crazy and is taken away, just as Homer was getting more comfortable. Another passenger takes her place and films him giving a D'oh moan that becomes viral on TikTok. Noticing more annoying people, he texts Marge saying he's trying to hold it together, but the plane is full of the worst flyers in the world.
In court, the Convenience Airways representative tells the jury how they fly obnoxious people, the No-Fly List, people banned from other companies, and it was their inaugural flight, and shows how even Homer is one of them, with pictures from previous flights, including choking a guy with a seatbelt extender. However, Homer points out he promised Marge he'd behave and how it was torture on that flight.
Homer watches a horror movie on Comic Book Guy's screen since his is covered by Cameron Poe's hair. After eating, he uses a small fan and smears Homer's face with dust from it. When Homer points out what happened to Joel, Comic Book Guy disappears, while the other passenger starts a bathroom sink shrimp scampi challenge, so Homer asks Marge for some words of comfort via text, but Marge is sleeping and ignoring the text. However, in first class, a bottle of Chekhov's Gin is leaking in Krusty's mouth.
Meanwhile, the batteries on Bart's devices are all dead, and he starts playing with the call button. When Joel starts making more jokes, he points out how lame they are, while Lisa is still showing Maggie her flashcards, and Maggie starts crying, annoying the other passengers. When Joel announces it's time for the beverage and snack service, but when he insults Bart's young age and jokes, Bart takes the intercom and starts making a joke on him over it, even taking it to the lavatory. Joel, however, uses a pin on his clothes to ask for intervention, and a hollow crash is heard in it.
Homer has trouble making Maggie stop crying and takes her on a walk, and Lisa's suggestion to play the sax only makes it worse. Homer doesn't want to disturb Marge, so he stops her from getting into first class, where a drunk Krusty and Drederick Tatum get into a fight over a lost bet. Homer goes back into the aisle, where a family defends him from an angry passenger. This makes him happy until they start potty training their kid in the aisle, which calms Maggie but makes her fill her diaper.
Homer asks if Lisa has the diaper bag, but she doesn't, so he goes to first class to ask Marge, where he witnesses the fight, but finds the bag, asking Maggie to crawl through the fight to reach it. The fight continues with Drederick taking Sideshow Mel's bone to attack Krusty, but Maggie successfully reaches for the bag. Going for the lavatory, he finds the passenger next to him cooking, Patty and Selma in another using a fire extinguisher to remove the no-smoking sticker, and Miss Hoover and two others joining the Mile-High Book Club, and then pushes by mistake another flight attendant, sending the snack cart all over the aisle, starting chaos among the passengers.
They find an empty lavatory, but when they get out, the plane is a complete mess and all the passengers have disappeared. When Homer demands to know where all the other passengers are, the flight attendant activates a trap door and traps him with the other people down in an in-flight jail, leaving Maggie alone, as Lisa is trapped too.
