Plot[]
The Simpsons are an extraordinary family with mishap In their minds. Only Marge and Lisa are sensitive, which is the breaking point of Marge's mind. Maggie almost killed a person, Bart is a prankster, and Homer is a drunk who lacks general knowledge. Having a driver's lesson available for Mr. Burns, Marge's plans are in ruins when Homer goes on the road, landing Burns into the point of Firing Homer for almost killing him. Marge then finally has enough of the Simpsons gene.
The next day, Homer finds Marge pacing her bags, as well as a leaflet for her travels. When Marge is forced to admit, she reveals that she is leaving Homer for a better life. Homer, realizing how much of an awful husband and father he was from the past years, tells Marge that he will miss her. Marge says nothing but "I'll miss you too, Homie", and sets off, never to set another foot into Springfield (and Homer's Life) again (until she grows sick of her new home)
Meanwhile, a girl awakens with a ditch with the knowledge that she is running from something... but cannot remember what, finding that all of his recent memories are missing. Her attempts to recall them are interrupted by a trio of gigantic robots; one was killed, presumably in the crash, but the others are quite alive and quite hostile, advancing on Skids while wielding giant swords and repeatedly intoning the cryptic phrase: "nineteen eighty-four". Apparently lacking in any weapons, Skids improvises with the nearby corpses of and : he magnetizes the former to one of the giant robots, then uses the latter's gun to blow Polaris up, taking the monstrous mechanoid with it. She runs to a truck stop and manages to flag one down, asking the driver to take her "Anywhere. Anywhere but here"
Marge, looking again the leaflet of a town called Storybrooke, arrives to a broken-Down kingdom with many torn down buildings and dead bodies. Thinking of it as false advertising, Marges decides to go back to Springfield in the morning. However, she is chloroformed before destroying the leaflet, hinting ambush.
The girl appears on the Simpsons' doorstep, laughing hysterically, before passing out. When she can only tell them her name; Anna.
Two figures, . "Yeah, boss. Yes, she's gone. Don't worry, we'll find her."
