 On an ordinary day, Marge discovers Maggie's first baby tooth, which appears to be a sharp fang. Maggie later loses her "baby legs" and grows green tentacles. Marge decides to take her to [[Dr. Hibbert]], who prescribes "Fire, and lots of it!" after Maggie crunches his equipment with her fang. At home, it is found Maggie can contact somebody by sucking extra-rapidly on her pacifier, which appears to be the aliens, [[Kang]] and [[Kodos]]. They arrive at the Simpson house, coming to retrieve Maggie. Marge reveals Kang is Maggie's real father and retells the story: Kang and Kodos abducted her while she was doing laundry, selecting Marge for a cross-breeding program. She says the aliens used mind-control techniques on her, by Kang pointing and saying "Look behind you!" before zapping her with an insemination ray. She recalls nine months after the abduction, Maggie was born. Kang and Kodos demand the Simpsons give Maggie to them and Homer and Kang start to fight over Maggie until Bart stops them and suggests there can be only one way to solve the problem: let the Simpsons appear on ''[[The Jerry Springer Show]]'', with Homer and Kang continuing to fight it out. When they appear to discuss things, Kang uses his ray gun to vaporize an annoying audience for criticizing him. During Jerry's "final thought", Maggie attacks Jerry and kills him while Homer and Kang resume fighting.
-Kang and Kodos now threaten to kill every American politician unless the Simpsons give Maggie to them. Marge and the Simpsons slyly imply the aliens couldn't possibly kill every politician, Kang and Kodos fly off to do so, and Bart reminds them not to forget Ken Starr. Just when they're about to leave, Maggie says in Kang's voice that she will drive, and laughs diabolically before stating that she needs blood as the credits begin.
