==The Story==
<!-- Under each act heading, give a brief summary of the major events of that act. The acts begin and end at points where there would be an ad break if this were an episode, probably at the middle of the comic. If lucky, this will also be the split for the UK version.
If you know how, make links of the first reference to any other characters, places, or things that have/should have their own articles.
-->
===Act I===
Bender is kicked out of Moes and tells Homer he has nowhere to live so Homer lets him stay at Ned Flanders’ house but then knocks up his jukebox and runs off. At the retirement home Professor Frink notices that Professor Farnsworth is as smart as him so he breaks Farnsworth out. At the buffet Mr. Burns has taken Zoidberg and Hermes to, Mr. Burns chokes on a sesame seed and Zoidberg saves him and is hired as his personal physician. The next day at school Fry is able to prove to Bart that he is telling the truth with his comic. Hermes and Zoidberg get their memories back and Mr. Burns learns they are from the future. In Lisa’s room Leela and Nibbler get their memories back and meet Bender, Homer, Fry and Bart. Nibbler explains everything and senses danger at the Nuclear power plant.
===Act II===
Using gum from the future, the Simpsons’ car is able to fly over the town. However Homer spits it out and they drop until Professor Frink’s flying motorbike saves them but due to the weight, Fry and Lisa have to get out and Fry shows Lisa how to play the [[holophonor]]. Mr. Burns reveals that he will drop Zoidberg into radioactive waste if he is not taken to the future with the machine Professor Farnsworth made to escape. Smithers is revealed to be Amy who attempts to steal the machine although Mr. Burns is revealed to be Smithers who steals the machine. Using the holophonor, Lisa makes images of Kang and Kodos to trick Mr. Burns into running away. The machine is used and The Planet Express crew are returned to reality.

The Story

Act I

After Bender is ejected from Moe's for his interactions with the love testing machine, Homer decides to call it a night as well.

At the retirement home Professor Frink notices that Professor Farnsworth is as smart as him so he breaks Farnsworth out. Bender is caught in the act seducing Flanders' jukebox, and runs from the house. At the country club, Zoidberg enjoys the free buffet, and when Mr Burns begins to choke on a sesame seed he saves the old man by electrocuting him slightly. Burns is so impressed that he hires Zoidberg as his personal physician. The next day Fry, having thought about it while locked in the school, has decided how to prove to Bart that he is telling the truth; he still has the reprint of the comic they are in with him. Bart then points out that he can find the others by looking in the comic. Hermes and Zoidberg get their memories back and Mr. Burns overhears that they are from the future, then has then taken away so he can learn more about their time travelling. In Lisa's room, Leela and Nibbler get their memories back and meet up with Fry, Bart, Bender and Homer. Nibbler explains everything and senses danger at the nuclear power plant.

Act II

Using gum from the future, the Simpsons' car is able to fly over the town. However Homer spits it out and they fall onto the Duff blimp, which is lit on fire by Bender's cigar and they continue to drop until Professor Frink’s flying motorbike saves them. Due to the weight, Fry and Lisa have to get out and Fry shows Lisa how to play the holophonor. As everyone else reaches the power plant, Mr Burns reveals that he will drop Zoidberg into radioactive waste if he is not taken to the future with the machine Professor Farnsworth made to escape.
