Sideshow Bob had just got let out of the Penitentiary, and now he was figuring out how he could get revenge on Bart; who was the one to get him sent back there. He knew the scamp would be harder to trick than a mutt, because no matter what he's done that kid always figured him out. Bart was currently out of school for Labor Day, so Bob knew this would be a good time to rid the world of that brat. Bob was at his house looking through his knives saying, "How to kill a kid, who can't be caught…" He picks up his butcher's knife and twirls the blade on his pointer finger, "What haven't I tried yet?", "There's dressing up as Krusty…" He then shakes his head, "No, I've done that." which brings him back to when he dressed up as Krusty to rob the Kwik-E-Mart. "Perhaps I could threaten to kill his best friend…", "Yes! That's it!" he tells himself. Soon enough, he's at the Van Houten's place, he knocks on the door, Milhouse answers and Bob then grabs him and begins to head to the Channel 6 building. Once there, Bob goes over the desk where Kent Brockman gives the news and looks into the camera; which was on. Bart is watching Krusty's show, when "Breaking news" is brought up, Bob is then seen with Milhouse on his lap and has his knife to the boy's neck, he then says, "Hello Springfield, it is I, Sideshow Bob, here with breaking news, especially for young Bart, I have captured Milhouse Van Houten and I plan on killing him unless Bart let's me kill him." Bart thinking that Bob was bluffing was about to change the channel when Bob says, "I am not bluffing, I will kill this boy!" Bart decides to step up for his friend, like always. He tells his parents that he's going to save Milhouse before he leaves, he decides to bring Santa's Little Helper with him, thinking how funny it would be if Bob got attacked by the dog. Soon Bart and Santa's Little Helper are standing in front of Bob, and Bart tells him, "Give it up, Bob! I'm here!" Bob smiles evilly, throws the blue-haired boy away and goes over to the spiked-haired boy saying, "So you saw my broadcast. I will enjoy killing you!" Bart smiled, "You'll never kill me, man, you've tried many times and failed each time." Bob growls and lunges at the boy who quickly moved out of the way, the boy tells his dog, "Get him, boy!" Santa's Little Helper then bites Bob's butt who yells in pain and begins to try to grab the mutt, all the while, Milhouse had called the police. Soon Wiggum, Lou, and Eddy arrive and Wiggum goes over to Bob, handcuffs him and says, "You're going straight back to jail!" Bob growls, looks at Bart and says before being dragged out of the room, "I'll be back! You can count on that!"
