"Bart of Darkness"
601 7F22
Original Airdate: 9/4/94
Stuck in his room with a broken leg, Bart watches Ned Flanders through a telescope
and thinks he sees his neighbor murder his wife Maude. The more Bart watches,
the more he suspects that Ned has definitely killed Maude and buried her in
the backyard. Bart enlists Lisa to sneak into the Flanders' house for a closer
look, but when Ned returns home holding an ax, Bart can only watch as Lisa
hides in Flanders' attic. Bart manages to limp his way down the stairs, out
of his house and into the Flanders' where he and Lisa confront him about killing
Maude. Cornered, Ned breaks down in tears and confesses his awful crime: He
killed Maude's favorite plant and buried it in the yard so she wouldn't know.
