 Agnes knew all along and lied to Grampa so he would kill Burns because his heart was ugly, and she sneaked her name into his will. She pulls out a gun, but Grampa stops her and receives a kiss in return. In the end, Homer and Grampa go to eat ice cream together, but after one bite, Grampa is done. Meanwhile, Lisa goes to the police to ask about the other body in the coffin, which turns out to be the business card printer, [[Harold Baumgartner]], who requested to be buried with his wife. Wiggum suggests she join the force, but Lou points out that she's too young. Then [[Ralph]] starts pointing a gun at the people talking, and Lisa runs away.
