Plot
After vandalizing the school's new weather balloon, Bart is punished by having to help Skinner while he goes sky watching. When he leaves briefly to catch the weather balloon, Bart messes with the telescope and finds a comet and reports it. However, the comet comes too close and is going to decimate the town, so they launch a rocket to stop it, but it misses and blows up the only bridge out of town, leaving the townsfolk doomed. They all decide to go to a bomb shelter, one that belongs to Ned Flanders.

Trivia
- Everyone getting angry and wanting to come into Flander's shelter is a a reference to "The Twilight Zone" episode, "The Shelter".
- For a couple of seconds when Homer tries to get the shelter door shut when everyone gets in, Waldo from "Where's Waldo" appears rather obtrusively on the left half of the screen.
