Plot
The Thing and I
Bart, Lisa, and Maggie hear strange noises coming from the attic one night. The next morning, after they mention this to their parents, Marge reminds Homer to feed the "thing". The kids spy on Homer climbing to the attic feeding fish heads to something. The kids are still curious as to what this is. And Homer accidentally calls them four children, until Marge covers it up. That night, while Homer and Marge are out, the kids sneak into the attic, find a shadow, and run out scared. Homer and Marge come home disappointed to find that they entered the attic. When they climb up into the attic, the weird shadow escapes through the door. Marge calls Dr. Hibbert to inform him that Hugo is loose. She then tells Bart that he has a twin brother named Hugo. Dr. Hibbert appears and explains the story of Hugo. When Bart was born, he was a Siamese twin. The only problem was that the left twin, Hugo, was evil. So after they were separated, Homer and Marge decided to chain Hugo up in the attic and feed him fish heads. Bart believes this story when he discovers his scar. Everyone except him exits the house to find Hugo, leaving Bart behind, who knows that Hugo is in the house. He soon realizes that he is right. Hugo ties him up on a table in the attic planning to sew them back together in hopes of becoming sane again. Before the operation begins, Dr. Hibbert shows Hugo a mirror to see his own face in, but it has no glass in which to punch out Hugo through. He then notices that Hugo's scar is on the left side. Remembering that the twin on the right was evil, he reveals that Bart was the evil one. So their solution is having Hugo join the family, while Bart lives up in the attic like an out cast.
The Genesis Tub
Lisa places a tooth in cola for a school science project. After being shocked by static electricity from Bart, Lisa touches the tooth, and the spark causes life to evolve in the petri dish where the cola and tooth are. In less than a few days, the tiny people have evolved to a futuristic cityscape. However, Bart playfully destroys some of their tiny buildings, causing them to launch a counterattack, sending a small fleet of aerial vehicles to attack him. Bart wants to destroy them for attacking him, but Lisa intervenes. He leaves, threatening that he will get revenge on them. Shortly after this, a strange beam from the petri dish hits Lisa, shrinking her down and into the tooth city, where she finds she is hailed as a god and Bart as the devil. The citizenry ask her for many answers, to which she promises she can help if she were big again. However, the people have not figured the technology to enlarge things. Matters turn worse when Bart claims the petri dish and the civilization as his own, winning the school science fair. Realizing she's trapped with the tooth city's inhabitants, Lisa angrily settles in to become their ruler.
Citizen Kang
Kang and Kodos capture Homer and ask who his leader is. Homer says there's going to be an election, so Kang becomes Bob Dole and Kodos becomes Bill Clinton. Kang and Kodos are found out but the people have to vote for one of them anyway. In the end, Kang is president.
