[hide]Synopsis[edit]
- "When the secret stack of cash—Lisa's college fund—that Marge keeps under the sink goes missing, the documentary crime series Dateline: Springfield goes in-depth to solve the case, leaving no stone unturned. Each member of the Simpson family becomes a prime suspect."
Plot[edit]
A documentary crime series, Dateline: Springfield, interviews the Simpson family after Marge and Lisa return home to find that Lisa's college funds—hidden in a can of kitchen cleanser under the sink—have gone missing. The police are called, and Chief Wiggum and Lou begin an investigation. When the narrator suggests suspicion falls on the Simpson family, Marge becomes angry at the accusations.
A call to the police from Helen Lovejoy places Marge at the top of the suspect list, accusing her of using the money to fuel her gambling problem. However, surveillance footage shows Marge walking out of the casino without gambling—while Helen herself is seen drinking, smoking, and playing a slot machine.
Next, suspicion shifts to Homer due to his bar tab being cut off at Moe's. Lou suspects Homer found the money while cleaning up after smearing spaghetti sauce on the kitchen walls and used it to pay his tab. The police trick Homer into handing over his pants by offering Super Bowl party access, but find no trace of the money.
Dateline: Springfield briefly considers Mr. Burns, but rules him out since $600 means nothing to a billionaire. Moe accuses Homer directly, but police confirm Homer's alibi: a mistaken six-hour phone call to Disco Stu, and he had licked the walls clean—never using the cleanser.
Bart becomes the next suspect after Milhouse accuses him of using the money to buy Slime. Bart admits he knew about the money and sometimes borrowed from it, but always paid it back. He is shown operating a school-wide Slime business à la Breaking Bad at Springfield Elementary School, but when prices drop, he sells the rest of his inventory to Comic Book Guy and returns the cash to the can.
Lisa is the final family suspect, accused by Martin. At King Toot's Music Store, footage shows her testing a saxophone, but she never buys it—Krusty does, trying to impress his father, Hyman Krustofsky, but fails. Lisa’s alibi is that Marge took her to a hopscotch tutor.
With no suspects left, the family kicks Dateline: Springfield out of the house, demanding and receiving an apology. The mystery remains officially unsolved. Later, Marge and Homer watch the documentary together. Marge places a snap-on coaster under Homer's drink, revealing her hidden business venture.
It turns out Marge took the money to invest in the invention—coasters costing $0.65 each—"gambling on herself." Homer chooses to cover for her, telling the kids rats ate the money. He and Marge then enjoy a stroll along the beach. Meanwhile, at the studio, the narrator loses his voice while arguing over the show’s unresolved ending and receives a vocal cord transplant from a sheep.
