Marge tucks Lisa into bed, saying good night to her and also tells her to slept tight as well as not to let the bed bugs bite. The latter which worries Lisa, thinking bed bugs are harmful while Marge turns off the lights.

Marge then sings Rock-a-bye Baby to Maggie, which Maggie then imagines she is in a crib on a tree and falling down endlessly in the course of the song. Marge eventually says sweet dreams to a worried Maggie before switching off the light in her room.

Homer and Marge go to their bed, thinking they are the best parents in the world for presumably having the kids ready to sleep soundly.
