This time Maggie will not miss!
Maggie still regrets not ending Burns's life after all these years. Hopefully she won't miss at point blank.
Also, since this is related in a sense, I've seen a video circulating about how the Simpsons predicted the plane crash that decimated Chapecoense. Considering that the show has predicted Trump's presidency, I wouldn't be surprised.
Looks like we're gonna have to add Mr. Burns to that list
Homer complaining about his boss convinced Maggie that Mr. Burns was responsible for all of the world's ills, including the time distortion that had kept her an infant since the 80's. She's been trying to correct that injustice for nearly as long.
Lisa, still ticked at her candidate losing the Presidential race, is more determined than ever to have Krusty lose his Congressional seat at the next election, even if it means threatening the head of the Springfield Republican Party to do it.
I am with Maggie on this. That is one creepy shirt.
"I shot you once, I'll do it again!"
Lisa: "You deserve what's coming to ya."
Surprise, mothafucka I CHOOSE YOU TO DIE
Mr. Burns' internal thoughts: Oh, not again....
