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 "In hell they make you watch them all in a row", showing all 600 episodes in a mosaic. The Planet of the Couches couch gag is then shown.
Dry Hard
Springfield is in a post-apocalyptic state, the city is completely dry, and the water is scarce and expensive. Mr. Burns is controlling the water's reservoir. Burns decides to make a battle to death for the kids of Springfield, and the winner will win a day at the reservoir. Lisa is the child for Nevergreen Terrace and mets her coach, Homish. Ralph dies first, stepping on a mine before the event started.
The battle begins, and two boys seduce Lisa but are killed by Homish, which fells in a trap and the other still alive contestant circles him, but Lisa convinces the people that there's no need to kill each other and that they've to turn against Burns. The kids are freed from the Battle Dome and the people destroy the reservoir, but the water is wasted and it causes a rain, that turned into a flood that then created an ice age.

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.[1]
