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. Because Bender has nowhere to stay, Homer gives him a place to sleep at Flanders' house. 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 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.
