Professor Frink's bones

In the first freakish chapter, following a head injury, Ned Flanders gains the power of foretelling people's deaths. When Ned discovers that he is going to be the one to kill Homer, he tries to change fate. In doing that, Ned winds up blowing up all of Springfield.

In the second sinister story, after a freak science accident, Maggie is shrunken inside a vitamin capsule and swallowed by Mr Burns. The rest of the Simpsons family goes in to save her Fantastic Voyage - style. When things start to go wrong, Homer gets trapped inside Mr Burns forever.

In the final part, set in Victorian London, Master Detective Eliza Simpson (Lisa) and her faithful sidekick Dr Bartley (Bart) attempt to catch The Muttonchop Murderer, a Jack the Ripper-type serial killer lose in the city.

'Homer, please, don't tempt the gods... er, I mean God! There's one God! Only one! Well, sometimes there's three.'
- Flanders
