After the user logs in on December 17th:
|
|
Now what do we do? We have no evidence, and no suspects.
|
|
I have one. *furrows brow* Mr. Snake Jailbird.
|
|
You're just profiling him for all his crimes in the past...
|
|
What about...Hank Scorpio?
|
|
I don't know, he's on the run in Belize. Plus, he's a crypto billionaire now — why would he do this?
|
|
Fat Tony?
|
|
Fat Tony loves all things Christmas. He hands out turkeys from his trucks. It's his favorite holiday.
|
|
Well, while we think of other people to point fingers at, I could go for a bite to eat.
|
|
I know of a few good vegetarian places.
|
|
How about Krusty Burger? I'm in the mood for a nice beefy burger.
|
|
You...eat meat?
|
|
Living off chlorophyll sucks — it doesn't even scratch the surface of the food pyramid. I mean, what category would you put "sun" in anyway?
|
|
You're a weird tree, Herb.
|
|
So, burgers?
|
|
Sure, they have a good meatless burger now!
|
|
Let's do it!

Get those decorations up! I need Krusty Burger decked out in full Christmas style!
|
|
Krusty, aren't you Jewish?
|
|
Christmas decorations are how you make money. Take a business class, kid.
|
|
Excuse me, are you the little girl who's investigating the attack on Santa?
|
|
Am I invisible? Does no one see me here?
|
|
Yes, that's me. I'm Lisa Simpson.
|
|
Excellent, you stand right there while I film some B-roll.
|
|
Why are you filming my daughter? Don't we need to sign something first?
|
|
Are you the mother?
|
|
Well, yes.
|
|
Even better! A mother-daughter crime-solving duo! That's perfect!
|
|
Perfect for what?
|
|
My true crime TV show!
|
|
Whoa...that's so cool! Did your show start out as a podcast?
|
|
It's the only way to get on TV these days.

No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 2
After completing No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 1:
|
|
So, welcome to my true crime show I'm making about this whole Santa attack mystery. It's like the movies I make for Heartmark but not romantic and cheesy, and much more gruesome.
|
|
Oh, you work for Heartmark? That's my favorite channel!
|
|
I should introduce myself. Mary Tannenbaum: Heartmark Senior Vice President of Romantic Mystery Content and Executive of the Pumpkin Spice Murder Division.
|
|
Oh, well I'm Marge. Senior...mother of three beautiful children.
|
|
Three children? You look incredible!
|
|
So, you're making a true crime show?
|
|
That's the plan. And you and your mother would be a large part of my vision. You could help piece together the clues, film reenactments...
|
|
I'll just need you to sign this five hundred and twenty-four page stack of standard release forms.
|
|
And what part will I play in your film, as someone who was also attacked alongside Santa?
|
|
Probably insignificant. It's obvious Santa was the main target. And our focus groups don't respond well to sentient arboreal beings in lead roles.
|
|
Really?
|
|
It's been heavily researched.
|
|
Well, our primary suspect's alibi just checked out, so I was thinking we'd head up to Mt. Useful to interview suspects taking part in the sleigh race. Just by racing in the race shows clear motive.
|
|
Can I tag along if you don't mind?
|
|
Do I at least get a Producer credit?
|
|
Nope.
|
|
What about a "special thanks"?!
|
|
Have your people talk to my people.

|
I want you guys to listen to my crime podcast called "He Probably Did it but Not Sure Yet" to get a sense of how the show will work.
|
|
Sure! I love crime podcasts!
|
|
Well, I'm doing a little meet-and-greet with other crime podcasters to announce our new show.
|
|
Oooh, I've always wanted to go to a fancy convention. Can I wear a nice dress?
|
|
Of course. See you there.
|
|
This is so exciting, Watson.
|
|
Can't we just drop the Sherlock stuff since we're about to both become crime TV sensations?
|
|
Hey! Someone stole my salad and I wasn't finished with it!
|
|
Quick! Start recording! A theft at a crime podcast convention! This is perfect!
|
|
How did you feel when you first noticed your salad was stolen? And had the salad been dressed?
|
|
I had just added the dressing before it was taken.
|
|
A cold night in December, a missing plate, an empty seat... I'm going to title this podcast "Gone, Bibb-y, Gone" or "Kaleknapped: The Story of the Missing Salad".
|
|
What about "The Golden State Kale-r"?

|
|
Whaddya want, kid? I'm off the clock. Autographs are twenty bucks. And no, I will not draw something on you so you can get it tattooed...unless you pay me sixty bucks.
|
|
I just wanted to ask you about your whereabouts on the night Santa was attacked.
|
|
Whoa, you trying to jam Krusty up on camera? Get that thing outta my face!
|
|
*filming* We're just making a film about the attack on Santa. *pushes in close* If you're innocent then you have nothing to worry about.
|
|
Jeez, I was working on my holiday special all night when the fatso got attacked. You happy?
|
|
Prove it!
|
|
Ooh, Marge. I love it. Bring the fire. *pans the camera dramatically*

For now...
|
|
I told you! Also, what'd you think of the rough cut of my special? Should I keep or take out all the insensitive jokes?
|
|
You already know the answer to that.
|
|
I really don't. That was genuine. Anyway, can I go?
|
|
For now...

No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 4
After completing No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 3:
|
|
Lisa? Marge? Strange woman with a camera crew? What are you doing up here at Mt. Useful? Are you coming to cheer me on?!
|
|
We ran out of leads in the Santa case, so thought we'd come question people doing the sleigh race. They all have a motive, as you know.
|
|
And I'm filming it for cable TV. *whip pans camera to Bart's reaction*
|
|
I'm confused, so are you a producer, TV executive, writer, director, or camera operator?
|
|
We make so many Heartmark movies a year that you end up doing a little of everything.
|
|
Last year I was a teamster building sets and then replaced Debra Messing for the lead role in a movie after "Will and Grace" got rebooted for the third time.
|
|
Well, this is fun! The whole family is here! Me and Bart will be out there snowmobiling if you need us.
|
|
Actually, Dad. Where were you on the night of Santa's attack?
|
|
Wait, waaaaaaaaaaaa??!!

|
|
Nice to meet ya.
|
|
And you two AREN'T related?
|
|
*looking at Herb* He's a tree...
|
|
It just doesn't make sense. Same last name — heavily featured in the plot of this update. Are you married to each other?
|
|
Nope!

No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 5
After completing No Business Like Snow Business Pt. 4:
|
|
Ah, I'm here to sign up for the sleigh race.
|
|
Sure, just fill out the sheet here, and make sure to list the details on what sort of sleigh power you'll be using, as we have some strict rules.
|
|
My little chariot runs on police-issued pepper spray.
|
|
Okay, so it's fueled entirely by pepper spray.
|
|
I also have a few prisoners Rudolphing the sleigh in exchange for decreased jail time.
|
|
That seems illegal.
|
|
Well, they committed crimes. So yes, it would be illegal in that sense.
|
|
Chief Wiggum? You're joining the sleigh race? What about the investigation!?
|
|
Oh, that? I solved Santa's whole attack thing already. It was like Murder on the Orient Express — his reindeer teamed up and did it.
|
|
That's the worst investigating of all time.
|
|
*chuckles* I was just kidding! It wasn't a bunch of reindeer — it was Snake.
|
|
Again with Snake? You can't just place blame on someone because they've committed almost every other crime in the city's history.
|
|
I'm not. I'm placing blame on him because he works at the Bag a Reindeer Hunting Range where the crime took place.
|
|
Wait, what?
|
|
Case...a-closed. I win cop of the year. Now to win this sleigh race!

|
|
Homer...Simpson.
|
|
Homer? What are you doing here?
|
|
I saw you run off all of a sudden toward Santa's Village. I was just wondering what's going on, thought I'd follow. Crap, I forgot Bart at Mt. Useful. Gotta go! *runs off*
|
|
Now, where were we?
|
|
Saying each other's names, slowly, apparently.
|
|
So you work here at Bag a Reindeer Hunting Range. Did you work the night of the attack on Santa?
|
|
I did. Bagged more that night than ever before. But I was already off when the attack happened.
|
|
I headed from work to Moe's at 9:37pm for a beer. Then stopped at Kwik-E-Mart for a quick robbing at 10:20pm. Then home and into bed promptly at 10:45pm to watch my baking show.
|
|
That's a very specific timeline. Almost as if...you'd practiced it.
|
|
Or...I've been through this many times before and I've learned to cover my own butt any time someone gets clubbed in the back of the head.
|
|
Well now. Isn't that interesting. I don't believe the reports ever released the information that Santa was hit in the back of the head.
|
|
They did, actually. But good try. It would've been really cool if that had been true though.
|
|
Yeah, Mom. They did actually say that.
|
|
Alright, well we're still gonna check your alibi!
