Bob, who cannot remember anything except the fact, that he has to kill Bart Simpson, decides just to play along. Meanwhile, Homer, Barney, Lenny and Carl decide to become alien hunters, as they see the crashed space shuttle on the news.
Back at the Spucklers' household, Bob blackmails Cletus and his family to get him Bart Simpson or he would kill him and his family. So Cletus tells his son Rest Stop to become friends with Bart, so they can easily lure him into a trap. The plan works perfectly and they invite Bart over for dinner, where Sideshow Bob is already waiting for him. Just as he is trying to grab Bart, Homer and his fellows rush in and are able to stop Bob and turn him to the police.
