This then makes Homer and Marge come in to check on Bart however, there simple check-in turns out to be a game where Bart covers the cookie with a jar top and Homer and Marge have to guess which jar top the cookie is under. Homer and Marge then lose and declare Bart innocent. Bart then tries to get his cookie however Maggie winds up playing the game with Bart and the reason why the cookie was never under any of the jar tops was because Maggie ate it.
