"The Fool Monty" is the sixth episode of Season 22. It originally aired on November 21, 2010.[1]
Synopsis
After learning that he is suffering from multiple illnesses and has only a few weeks to live, Mr. Burns becomes distraught by the town's less-than-sensitive reaction to his announcement. Following an unexpected turn of events, Bart finds Mr. Burns weak and vulnerable in the wilderness and secretly takes him into the Simpsons' home. But when Homer and Marge learn about their new house guest, they decide it's payback time, and Lisa, determined to stand up for Mr. Burns, learns that old habits die hard.[1]
Plot
The big TV companies make a plan to make a new disease, named House Cat Flu, that will force people to be scared and watch TV for updates on the crisis. After Homer threatens to burn everything the cat has touched, Marge tells him that here is a vaccination to the flu and they travel to the hospital.
While waiting in line, Mr. Burns drives up and takes 37 vaccines, one for him, one for Smithers and 35 for his dogs, even though they are immune to the disease as they would see him take it and also want to. This causes people to hate him.
After Mr. Burns' doctor gives him the vaccine, he tells him that Burns is dying and that he only has 5 or 6 weeks to live. Mr. Burns tries to take his own life by jumping off a cliff but bounces off things, including an aeroplane. He then lands on the ground in a forest. In the morning, Bart is walking around poking things with his "poop stick". He pokes Mr. Burns and he wakes up again, with no memory at all. Bart takes him home after he almost gets his tongue pulled out by a bird.
Bart tries to hide Mr. Burns in his room before he runs away from his bath into the living room. The Simpsons then take him to the rest of the town where they decide to take it in turns with Mr. Burns where they can take revenge on him. After a while of arguing over who's turn it is to get Burns, he is returned to Homer for his turn again. However, Homer is getting bored of Burns and lets Lisa take him. Lisa takes him to his Mansion where he sees a picture of him on a throne of skulls and remembers everything.
Meanwhile, Smithers had gotten a new job for Vice President Dick Cheney. He gets told to do jobs such as pull wings off of bees. Smithers obviously doesn't like his new job and boss as much as Mr. Burns.
Burns later comes and picks Smithers up and takes him back with him. They then get a helicopter and reveal that they plan to drop a dome on Springfield. The townspeople reveal that this has already been done before. Lou also states that they could always just dig out from it, although that never occurred to anyone before. He then realises that he had survived for longer than six weeks. Marge thinks it is because he has helped people and been kind. However, after giving Ralph a sweet, he starts to die again. He then realises that it was the spite building up in him that kept him alive. Burns decides to leave, and finds Nelson in the helicopter forcing Burns to be his father for the school play, otherwise he will crash the helicopter. Burns goes to the play and seems to enjoy it.
