Synopsis
The Simpsons sneak into a secret town meeting to which they aren't invited and discover it's about whether to ban the family from Springfield. The town decides to evict the family, forcing them to leave town. The family moves to the The Outlands, an off-the-grid community where people are free to do almost anything. One of their new neighbors is Julian Assange. Homer and Marge try to sneak back into Springfield dressed as Mr. Burns and Smithers, but are caught and threatened to be shot. They decide it was actually better in the Outlands, so go back. After the Simpsons get used to their new life, Bart and Maggie discover that Lenny and Carl have moved in. They tell the family they want to start a new life in the Outlands, away from Springfield. Soon all of Springfield's residents move to the Outlands, and they begin to move the whole of the town.

The Simpson family are at home watching Channel 6 News where Kent Brockman announces that there is a disaster and everyone has to go into their underground bunkers. After saying it was a drill, and then acting like there was an actual disaster again, he tells everyone to go into their shelters for three hours and not to come out. The Simpsons head to their shelter.
After a while, the family is all bored and decides to head out of their shelter to explore Springfield while it is empty. They then go past Springfield Town Hall where they realize that there is a secret meeting going on. They sneak in to find that the town has voted to kick them out of Springfield. After making themselves known to the rest of the town, the townspeople act angry at them. They then reveal that it was a mixture of Homer's recklessness, Bart's vandalism, Lisa's environmental pleas and Marge's niceness that got them kicked out. They are then paraded out of Springfield.
After driving for a while, Bart says that he needs to pee. They stop to let him go and are then held up by a guy with a shotgun. After Marge explains their situation to him, he welcomes the family to The Outlands. The family starts new here and begins to enjoy life, although Marge still misses Springfield and fears that Maggie is falling in with a rough crowd.
