Synopsis "Fly vs. Fly": Homer buys a matter transport at Professor Frink's yard sale. Bart uses it, hoping to mix his DNA with the fly's and become a superhero. Instead he and the fly merely switch heads. Bart flies away and leaves his body (with the fly head) with his family. The family tries to accept him. But when Lisa discovers what has really happened, the Fly-Headed Bart attacks her. Bart tries to save her, but the fly tries to eat him. Just then, Lisa shoves them into the transporter, changing Bart back to himself. "Easy Back Coven": We see Springfield during the witch trials of the 17th Century. Marge is accused of being a witch. When the crowd shoves her off the cliff, she returns flying on a broom, proving she is truly a witch. Marge and her witch sisters, Patty and Selma, go into the village to eat the townspeople's children. In an attempt to save her children, Goody Flanders offers them gingerbread children instead. The witches love the cookies and leave the children alone. So, the whole town begins offering treats instead of their kids--starting the tradition of Trick or Treat.
