Synopsis

The first segment will have a Hunger Games-theme. Sideshow Bob and Frank Grimes will both be present.

"1. Dry Hard: In the midst of a major drought, Mr. Burns introduces a Hunger Games-style contest in which Springfield's children fight each other for a day in Burns' personal reservoir.
2. BFF: Meanwhile, Lisa's imaginary best friend, Rachel, is jealous of Lisa's real best friends and starts killing them.
3. Moefinger: Moe tells Bart that the barflies are actually covert agents and that he wants Bart to join their team in Homer's place."

Plot

Opening scene

The family are going to buy a christams tree on Halloween, but at the christmas tree lot, they are ambushed by Sideshow Bob, Kang or Kodos, and the ghost of Frank Grimes seeking revenge. One of the four of the team is missing however, the Leprechaun, but Bob pulls on a tree branch to show him, and he convinces the bad guys to dance. Maggie grabs a knife and cuts the four baddies heads off. Grimes, being a ghost, places his head back and asks the viewer "will nobody stops this people?", and "how they make you watch them in a row", showing all 600 episodes in a mosaic. The Planet of the Couches couch gag is then shown.

Opening and Closing sequences

The Treehouse episode opens with a short segment in which Simpson foes, including Sideshow Bob, try to kill the beloved Springfield family. A Bond-like anthem, performed by singer Judith Owen (wife of Simpsons stalwart Harry Shearer), closes the episode, celebrating the episodic feat.

Production

Couch gag

The couch gag for the episode is Planet of the Couches, an unused couch gag that was planned to be used if an episode came up too short. Google approached the producers about creating a virtual reality couch gag. The producers then decided to use the Planet of the Couches gag. The couch gag can be viewed with Google Cardboard.
