    Mr Burns turns to the religious side,
    American History X-cellent is a great Simpson's episode,which shows a lot of stuff in the show that you knew where gonna eventually happen.

    After Chief Wiggum discovers a painting in that was stolen from an art museum many years ago in Mr Burns mansion,Chief Wiggum sends him off to prison.Mr Burns get smithers to run the plant,but Homer,Lenny and Carl eventually agree that Smithers is much worse than Mr Burns and try to bust him out.

    Meanwhile,Mr Burns cell mate bring Mr Burns to the religious side,by sucking out all his evil,making Mr Burns a much nicer person.

    Also meanwhile,Bart and Lisa make an ant farm,but Santas Little Helper ends up eating them all,apart from one of them,so Bart and Lisa have some sibling rivalry trying to take care of it.
