Synopsis
When Homer neglects to fix the dripping faucet outside the house, the amount of moisture in a cavern under the ground makes ground fall away in places. As a result of this, Marge's car falls into a sink hole in the middle of town. She buys the perfect replacement to fit her family of five, but she quickly grows to hate it because, as she tells a shocked Homer, the car would be too small if she wanted to have another baby. Meanwhile, Bart and his friends are determined to find out what secret Lisa is keeping when Bart finds her cryptic messages and follows her sneaking off downtown for covert meetings after school.
Plot
Opening (Homer Votes 2012 with changes)
It's election day in Springfield and Homer is on his way to the voting booths at Springfield Elementary, muttering about how he has to choose his leaders: "Isn't that what the supreme court's for?" Homer arrives at the voting booths, where the Rich Texan asks for some photo ID. Homer says that he's lived in Springfield all his life. The Rich Texan replies, saying that stopping all Americans from voting is to protect all Americans. Homer continues, saying that he's a 40-year-old white guy who didn't go to college and gets all his news from monitors at gas stations. The Rich Texan then lets Homer into a voting booth.
In the booth, Homer can't decide to vote for:
- "Barack Obama", I don't know. I already got one wife telling me to eat healthy. Plus he promised me death panels and Grampa's still alive!"
- "Mitt Romney, I hear he wears magic underpants. I expect the leader of the free world to go commando. Plus his horse totally choked at the Olympics. On the other hand he did invent Obamacare!"
Homer taps "Mitt Romney" and the machine thanks him - before showing Romney's tax returns. Homer is shocked: he got a medical deduction for a personality implant, he has six wives all named Ann, and the government paid him taxes for five years. Before Homer can rush out of the booth to tell the press, he is sucked into a tube. He is outsourced to a factory somewhere in China, where U.S.A. flags are being made. Homer is satisfied because he's got a steady job - until Selma comes out of the tube. Homer "D'oh!"s.
Main plot
Marge is in the back garden putting a treat for the hummingbirds in a glass held from a tree. Marge puts in Krusty's Sugar-Frosted Cotton-Candy Punch before the hummingbirds arrive. The hummingbirds eat the roses on the side, and because of the smell, an orange hummingbird falls to the ground - knocking out Snowball II instead of falling into her mouth. When Marge unhooks the hose from the faucet, the water from which she put in the glass, water starts dripping. Marge tells Homer that the faucet is dripping, Homer saying that he'll get right on it. It's still dripping in winter and spring, and Homer's neglect to the dripping faucet causes a massive problem for Springfield. The amount of water dripping into the earth has caused a tunnel - leading to a massive cavern underneath the town square. One drop of water travels along the tunnel (passing the Ullman family and a caveman on a dinosaur. The drop of water lands in the cavern filled with water, causing the ground to shake and the water to open passageways and travel through them, further into the earth. Rocks from the top of the cavern then fall to the bottom, covering the holes. Above the ground, Marge is driving the kids to school. Marge is muttering about how Homer keeps on saying that he'll get to it, then saying that when she first got married it only took 6 months to do things. Bart realizes that Marge hasn't done his homework that was due that morning and asks her why. Before Marge can answer, the ground starts caving in. When the ground does cave in, the car falls into the sink hole, while Marge and the kids scream. Bart says "Oh no, Lisa's face! It's the same!", and then laughs. Marge tells the kids to relax, because she's got a sink hole kit in the glove compartment. After taking out the earthquake kit and the tsunami kit, Marge finds the sink hole kit behind the zombie virus kit. In the kit, there is an inflatable staircase. Marge pulls the ring and it inflates. Unfortunately for Bart, who doesn't want to climb it, the staircase reaches the top of the sinkhole. Marge forces Bart to climb the stairs because "no-one stays in the sink hole!" The three are about to go up the stairs when a police car falls into the sink hole. Chief Wiggum gets out, asking what the problem is.
On the news that night, Kent Brockman reports that Springfield is getting that 'sinking feeling', before chuckling and continuing, as the sink hole continues to expand. Comic Book Guy says in an interview that the sink hole is larger than the Sarlacc Pit which swallowed Boba Fett but is smaller than the Geonosis Battle Arena where Jango Fett was beheaded by Mace Windu. Brockman asks "Weren't those two places about the same size?". Comic Book Guy then says "I didn't know this was an ambush!" In an interview with Moe at his tavern, he says that in this town you learn to adjust to things: runaway monorails and NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, who then passes by. Moe says that he bets that no-one will see him again. Barney says that he's gonna call it a day and goes out of the tavern. Outside, where the sink hole has expanded to, there are planks of wood creating a 'pathway' across the sink hole. Lenny and Carl are onlookers to Barney's attempt to cross the 'path'. Moe goes outside, and tells Barney that that plank is for coming in. He lifts the plank from the sidewalk, causing Barney to fall to the bottom of that sink hole. Moe tells him to try and land on the other traitors, who groan in pain at the bottom. On the news, Chief Wiggum asks the people of Springfield to be cool like Lou, who lifts his hat after the camera pans over to him. Continuing, Wiggum says that they will eliminate one eyesore with another by bulldozing the tire-fire into the sink hole. Marge is upset because her car is down there. The tires fall into the sink hole and Mayor Quimby announces that his administration has finally solved a problem - the hole has been filled with the thing it hates the most: stuff. A vehicle comes along and pours the tarmac onto the road, before flattening it and marking on the road markings. Quimby then goes onto the road and places a sign that names the road the Pioneer Route 101 Trail. Marge sighs.
On the bus after school, Milhouse is telling Bart that his dad nearly finished his online degree in sink hole engineering when they filled the sink hole in. Bart asks if the credits are transferable and Milhouse says no. Bart then says that that guy is a bone to pick with the border regions. Bart then spots that Lisa is not getting on a bus and she crosses the street. After Milhouse convinces Bart that this situation is major, the two follow her. When Otto spots the three crossing the street, he says that if they're not taking the bus, then neither is he. Ralph announces that he's going to an accident.

Bart realizes that his sister has become mildly interesting. Milhouse announces that it sounds like a case for the Detect-a-pals. Milhouse tries to call for a cab, but only one comes - and it speeds off past him; Milhouse says that they never stop for blue-heads.
Marge is at the Tissan Auto Dealership looking at a car when an employee named Stan comes upto her.
