Bob and Lisa visit a museum and after Bob saves Lisa from falling objects, she asks why he's so strong.  He admits that he's been changing his DNA and the real reason they are at the museum is so he can steal DNA of the most intelligent people that ever lived.  When Bart comes to save Lisa, Bob warns he can tempted into a murdeous rage very easily.  After a couple bothers him for a minute, he does have a rage and goes after Bart and Lisa.  He runs after them with his new "grass-hopper thighs" and "sonar of a killer-whale".  He chases them to a body of water and they beg him to sing before he kills them.  So he does but Marge, Homer and the teen-abstinance group come to stop him.  When Lisa talks about Walt Whitman, Bob realizes he's become a monster and attempts suicide by drowning, but then remembers he has gills.  Ned recalls how much he loved Edna, and is sad about her death.
