-Option 3 was to trap the entire town of [[Springfield]] under a thick glass dome to prevent the pollution from spreading. (Incidentally, Russ Cargill was also the owner of the company that manufactured the dome.) The dome was carried by over a hundred helicopters, which attached ropes with large suction cups to it. The inhabitants of the town witnessed the dome casting a shadow over Springfield. The dome was soon lowered, covering the entire perimeter of Springfield and crushing the "L" on the "Springfield" hills. This caused the "P" and "F" to bend, and at least [[Crushed man|one person]] was flattened and killed as the dome was lowered.

 ==== Operation Soaring Eagle ====
-The government passed off the upcoming destruction of Springfield as the creation of a "new Grand Canyon," and released a commercial promoting it, featuring Tom Hanks. The commercial described the new Grand Canyon to be located "East of Shelbyville and South of Capital City," the very location of Springfield. They went to describe it as nowhere near where anything is. The Simpsons family was soon found and captured by the EPA, thanks to a nationwide surveillance program that involved tapping into people's conversations. Homer Simpson wasn't captured, as he had left the family. The family was placed back into the Dome.

Homer Simpson wasn't captured, as he had left the family. The family was placed back into the Dome.
 By the time this happened, Springfield was in a state of near ruin. Many of its buildings had collapsed, including the Town Hall and ''excluding ''Springfield Elementary. [[Moe Syzlak]] had become the self-proclaimed "Emperor of Springfield" (by the time Soaring Eagle came into effect, he had at least one follower, Barney Gumble).
 [[Burns' manor|Mr. Burns' Estate]] was looted and Mr. Burns was stripped of his wealth, with Mr. Burns even hinting that he'd watch Smithers try to commit suicide to focus on something other than his current predicament. Right after the Simpsons returned to Springfield, Russ Cargill appeared on the television screen on the dome once again, telling the Springfieldians that the United States government's decision to trap the town inside the Dome was a mistake, and the government had commenced "Operation Soaring Eagle", which involved wiping out the entire town. A bomb hoisted onto a rope from a helicopter was lowered from a hole at the top of the Dome, with a timer set to 15 minutes. After several failed attempts at stopping the bomb (namely, using a bomb disposal robot to cut the wire, only for it to panic, grab an officer's gun, and {{W|Suicide|shoot itself in the head}}) The townspeople decided to climb the rope and escape through the top of the Dome, while [[Cletus]] distracted Russ Cargill. However, Homer came down the rope at the same after climbing up the Dome, knocking everyone off the rope. His act also caused the bomb to drop, making the timer freeze. Unfortunately, Homer kicked the bomb out of frustration after he discovers that he actually ruined it for everyone, which not only reactivated the timer, but also halved the time to four minutes.

 ==== Deteriorating conditions ====
-As weeks passed, the situation got worse in Springfield. Power outages plagued the town and the residents started looting buildings including [[Moe's Tavern]]. [[Mr. Burns]] refused to give free access to power despite the pleas of [[Dr. Hibbert]], [[Chief Wiggum]] and [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]] (Mostly because of Apu foolishly telling Mr. Burns that he should find what's right in his heart, as he was pretty close to allowing them to giving them free power.).
+As weeks passed, the situation got worse in Springfield. Around Day 37, intermediate power failures started plaguing the town (as the Nuclear Power Plant was presumably shut down or operating at extremely limited capacity) and the residents started looting buildings including [[Moe's Tavern]]. Eventually, the power completely fails, with the exception of Burns Manor. Despite the pleas of [[Dr. Hibbert]], [[Chief Wiggum]] and [[Apu Nahasapeemapetilon]], [[Mr. Burns]] refused to supply the town with his reserve power due to Apu foolishly telling Mr. Burns that he should find what's right in his heart.
 By Day 93, the residents of Springfield finally reached the breaking point. After a book thrown by [[Lindsay Naegle]] spilled coffee from a coffee machine at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting, [[Barney]] finally cracked, ran out to the dome, and attempted to break the dome. The rest of the townspeople soon followed, trying to crack the dome repeatedly with objects such as Boxing Gloves, Jackhammers, Battering Rams, Bubbles (Ralph Wiggum), Swordfish, Sticks, and Shovels (ironic, since the townspeople could've dug themselves out in the first place). [[Stampy]] the elephant struck the dome with his head, and managed to form a small crack on the dome.

-While moping, he bumps into the tree and is implied to be talking to the [[Medicine Lady|Boob Lady]], who points out that he could use the Motorcycle and the stunt he used earlier to get the bomb out of the town. Deciding that he had to save the town, Homer "payed" the Boob Lady for her services (by placing it in the Tree Trunk), took the bomb and attempted to ride a motorcycle up the side of the dome (like in a motorcycle stunt cage). He took his son [[Bart Simpson]], who helped him hold the bomb. At the moment they made it to the top, [[Bart]] threw the bomb out of the hole, ten seconds before detonation. After nearly falling back into the hole, the bomb safely flipped its end onto the dome, and caused a massive explosion on the side of the Dome with a force that stripped the leaves off the nearby pine forests. The explosion caused the dome to shatter into pieces, mostly tiny and harmless except for an large one that crushed [[Dr. Nick]], one of the few casualties of the Trappuccino incident. Homer and Bart landed safely near Springfield Gorge, only to be confronted by [[Russ Cargill]], who attempted to kill them after refusing to admit defeat. Before he could fire, he was knocked out by a boulder rolled down on him by [[Maggie Simpson|Maggie]], whom Homer then thanked by remarking that she turned out to be "[[And Maggie Makes Three|a great little accident]]".

-Homer Simpson was hailed as a hero, being the man who was both the direct cause of the "Dome incident" and responsible for its end. The town of Springfield was repaired and rebuilt, and the status quo returned once again. For attempting to blow up Springfield, Cargill is fired his job as EPA administrator and sent to prison.

 Sometime after the end of Trappuccino and after the town was restored, [[Charles Montgomery Burns]] attempted to seal [[Springfield]] in dome yet again in retaliation for being humiliated by the townspeople. However, he backed down after the townspeople remarked that it was done before, and [[Lou]] noted that they could always dig themselves out (which never occurred to anyone during Trappuccino).<ref>"[[The Fool Monty]]"</ref>
