 At the church service the next day, there is a tribute to the passing of Green Day, which the Simpsons are late for. [[Reverend Lovejoy]] calls upon one of the churchgoers to do the prayer, but not before Ned tells Lovejoy that he has to confess to a "modest sense of pride to our community". Lovejoy then amends his statement to exclude Flanders this time around. [[Grampa]] is suddenly possessed and begins to scream of a coming disaster, foreshadowing the events in the film, involving ''a twisted tail, a thousand eyes, trapped forever and "Eeeepa"''. This leads Marge to believe that God is sending them a message warning them about a future catastrophe (and is ultimately correct).

-Later that day, Homer is doing several chores, including removing a hornets' nest (which he places inside the mailbox of the Flanders) and fixing a sinkhole in the backyard (which he covers with a sandbox). After an unsuccessful attempt to fix the roof, Homer and Bart play a game of dare. Homer dares Bart to climb the TV antenna, and he nearly falls off the house, though he has fun doing so. After Bart shoots at Homer with a BB gun while Homer carries a load of bricks, Homer dares Bart to skateboard to [[Krusty Burger]] and back naked. Bart refuses at first but then does so after Homer calls him a "chicken for life", and many people see him do so.

 [[Chief Wiggum]], [[Lou]], and [[Eddie]] chase him in their patrol car before Lou disables his skateboard by shooting one of the tires, which sends Bart crashing into Krusty Burger's window, in front of Ned and his kids. Lou and Eddie get Bart from the window and leave him handcuffed to a pole, then the police walk into Krusty Burger to get lunch. Nelson, also there, begins laughing at Bart until sundown. Homer then arrives but blames everything on Bart after hearing that he would have to take a parenting course if he admitted that he dared Bart. He gives Bart new clothes but forgets to bring his pants. Walking into Krusty Burger, Ned shows fatherly compassion toward Bart by providing him pants. Before Bart can yell at Homer, Homer adopts [[Plopper|a pig]] as a pet when [[Krusty the Clown]] orders it to be killed shortly after taping a commercial nearby.
