Plot[edit]
At the Student music festival at Springfield Elementary School, after Martin's poor performance, Lisa and Milhouse perform, with Lisa playing a sad song. Dolph dares Bart to pull the fire alarm to stop Lisa, but he refuses, signing his death wish to the bullies.
The next day, Marge is proud of him at school, but Homer at home tells him he has to take a dare like a man. Marge starts treating him well afterwards in the car, which Bart doesn't took very well, imagining himself old throwing himself out of a boat when Skinner makes fun of him too, on Mother's day.
At Echo Canyon, the bullies dares him to jump from the dam, which Bart does ending face first on concrete. At Springfield General Hospital, Bart wakes up and to not disappoint Marge makes up a lie that he went to Heaven. Ned and the police comes to Bart's bed too and he slowly becomes popular.
After Lisa's failed attempt to scare Bart, Christian movie producers come at the house to present to Homer and Bart the opportunity to make a movie about his experience. Homer and Ned are forced to work together on the movie, including interviewing Emily Deschanel and Gal Gadot.
The movie starts recording, and Bart starts getting worried and having nightmares from Lisa's words. He actually ends up in Heaven in his nightmare, where he meets Clancy Bouvier and Jesus Christ, who beats him hard with "LOVE".
The movie, titled Bart's Not Dead, finally premieres, and it's a big hit. After that, Bart finally confesses to Marge and Lisa, and Springfielders gets pissed. Homer and Ned gives the raised money to charity and all is forgiven, but one thing.
On top of the house's roof, Bart asks Lisa if God will forgive him, to which she says if God exists, he'll forgive him, if Bart has remorse. Just after they start falling, only to end up on a pile of leaves, saving them. At the Pearl's Gates, Bart is shown at his death, and Homer says Jesus wants to meet him. Homer instead goes to Hindu Heaven, where he gets transformed to a turtle and sent back to Earth.
