Bart and Simon
After informing each other on basic information about each other's family, the two part; Bart finds he truly enjoys his new rich home, which appeals to him immediately (particularly Joe Montana, who is hanging around the estate). Simon, meanwhile, isn't used to the Simpsons's simple lifestyle; Lisa, the most inquisitive, begins to suspect that Bart (Simon) isn't who he really is. Simon frequently argues with Homer, but upon going to bed, he soon begins to enjoy Marge's loving attention. Meanwhile, Bart meets Devan and Quenley, his new half-brother and sister. The two of them smugly bully Simon (Bart) every chance they get. The next day, the Woosterfields host a magnificent party for the rich; upon meeting Mr. Burns and Smithers, Bart asks why Devan and Quenley always bully him more than they should. Mr. Burns tells all about his childhood growing up as the youngest of a large wealthy family, and that since his other siblings passed away under 'suspicious circumstances', he inherited the family's entire wealth. Bart realizes that the two may very well be plotting his demise, in order to inherit the entire Woosterfield fortune. Bart becomes irritated when he realizes about being set up by Simon.
Lisa quickly realizes that Simon is not Bart, and tries to figure out what they are up to. Simon finally admits to the entire Simpson family that Bart is in real danger. Devan and Quinley take Bart on a ski trip, hoping to kill him at the ski lodge. While trying to rescue Bart, Homer falls down and turns into a giant snowball, rescuing him. Bart is still offended with Simon, but Simon tells him that he will return to his own family; when Bart asks what he will do to prevent the murderous attacks Devan and Quinley are planning to make, Simon tells Bart not to worry about it. In truth, the two are already planning to dispose of one another. Upon returning home, Marge tucks Bart into bed, tickles his foot making Bart giggle and kisses him goodnight. After mulling it over, Bart chooses that "this is the life" and falls asleep happily.
