When Skinner opens the school up one day, he finds the 4th grade hamster dead. Willie buries it in the basement, but when he starts to dig, oil spews out of the hole. Mr. Burns watches them build an oil tower on the school, and he devises a way to get that oil. On the opening day of the oil rig, they flip the switch and find out someone else has gotten to the oil. Mr. Burns launches his "Slant Drilling Co." oil rig and oil flies out and sprays so far it knocks Bart and Santa's Little Helper out of the treehouse. Santa's Little Helper needs to wear casts on his legs, so Bart vows revenge on whoever did this to him. The fumes from the oil pollute Moe's Tavern and he has to close it down. The ground under the retirement home starts crumbling and it splits it in half.

Smithers isn't happy with Mr. Burns for ruining other establishments in Springfield. Mr. Burns then unveils his plot to block out the sun. When Smithers protests to his plot, Mr. Burns fires him. Homer is furious that Mr. Burns can't remember his name. At a town meeting, everyone discusses why they hate Mr. Burns. He shows up and blocks the sun out. While walking down the street, he is shot, and he lands on the sun dial on "S" and "W".

Trivia

  • According to the DVD commentary for this episode, a college kid found out the shooter just a few hours after the show aired and posted his results on the web. The staff couldn't give him the prize in the "Who Shot Mr. Burns Contest" because he didn't enter properly. They were going to send him something, but they couldn't find his online username anymore.

Quotes

  • Grampa: {noticing the dog with a cone on walking past} "The lamp's getting away."
  • Bart: "No, Grampa. That's my dog."
  • Grampa: "So long lamp."


  • Lunchlady Doris: "The cafeteria staff is complaining about rats in the kitchen. I want to hire a new staff." (This was approved).


  • Bart: "Skinner said my idea was 'unplausible'."
  • Lisa: "Bart, even if they were able to resurrect The Three Stooges, I doubt they'd want to hang out with you."
  • Bart: "Yeah, they probably got families or somethin'."
