[edit] Synopsis

Lisa becomes suspicious when Homer appears to have been "turned" after a Springfield Nuclear Power Plant convention, and enlists the services of intense, jumpy FBI agent Annie Crawford to help her unravel the truth.

[edit] Reception

The episode was seen in 4.4 million households (these are early overnight ratings and may change)^[1], however, the low rating may have been caused by the fact several FOX networks were down or had technical difficulties during the show.^[2]
