Synopsis
- "In this Flanders family-focused episode, Todd blames God for the death of his mother and rejects his faith - causing great distress for Ned, who sends him to live with the Simpsons in an attempt to scare him back into God's arms."
Plot
Maude appears in dream to Ned as a ghost, calling him, him thinking she come back and asks her to kiss him one last time, before revealing it was his dog Baz kissing him instead. Ned is crying and Todd enters asking him why and he says it's because he dreamed about Maude and asks him if he ever dreams about her.
Todd recollects his dreams, where he's in a happy land, dragged by Maude, and the cart that holds him trips and when Maude turns around she's faceless, scaring him and the bear that comes to his rescue. Todd doesn't remember his mother's look and Rod comes in with a mask on his face, making him look faceless in the shadows too, scaring Todd.
They then go watch a Christmas recording of their family, where they're decorating the tree, and Grampa interrupts them thinking it's his house and they invite him to stay at dinner. Todd starts to believe there's no point in believing what he has no proof of when Ned tells him he doesn't have one of Maude being in a better place.
At church, Reverend Lovejoy invites the kids to say what they'd want to ask to baby Jesus if they could speak to him and Todd says he'd tell him thanks for nothing because his mom is dead and that he doesn't believe in God anymore, shocking everyone.
Ned is shocked to the core and repremends his action, while Todd keeps questioning God's actions and when not even the Reverend could help him, he prays to god to punish his son. The next morning Todd refuses to say Amen to the prayer for the breakfast and Ned asks himself what can put fear of god back in Todd, and finds a solution in the Simpson House when Bart tricks Homer in staying outside in his underwear.
