Synopsis
- "Patty and Bart team up for the ultimate prank: getting Homer declared legally dead. To their chagrin, Homer loves being officially dead - which leads to Patty and Selma having a huge fight and Patty moving away to "Palm Springfield"."
Plot
One morning, at the DMV, Patty and Selma's boss retire after winning the lottery and with a coin toss decides Selma is the new supervisor. At the dentist, Bart pulls a prank on her, when he eats triple cookies in the bathroom just before the checkup, scaring her. The prank ends up costing the family a lot, and as punishment, Homer drills holes in Bart's Xbox, breaking it. When Patty and Selma goes to the Simpson house, with Selma showing off her new office photos, mocking Patty's actions at work, Patty goes upstairs and find Bart in distress over what Homer did to his console.
To get back to him, they conjure a plan, where she uses her being twin to her sister, and using Face ID to change Homer's status to deceased on his license. When Homer gets pulled over after dangerously driving while eating, Wiggum informs him of his new status and how he no longer has to pay taxes, union dues or get spam calls (though he won't be able to rent U-Haul anymore), relieving him of much stress, backfiring on Bart hard, as he also got a life time supply of Krusty Burgers too. At the DMV, Selma finds out thanks to Bart of what they did and fires Patty. At home, Marge is stressed too getting phone calls from both, complaining about one another, and Homer suggest her to ghost them.
Patty tries to get a job at the El Yogo Loco, but her interview with Squeaky-Voiced Teen goes wrong due to her demands. Bart apologizes for getting her fired, and finds out she has it just like him and Lisa, and proposes her to change up so she doesn't look like her sister, so at the Hairy Shearers, Julio cuts her hair in a completely new style, and at Rusty's Piercing a big new earring. Meanwhile, Lisa finds out how Selma's life is similar to hers with Bart and suggest her to dust off her dating profile to find a new love interest.
