Plot Preview
Almost a month after the infamous alien invasion of Springfield on Halloween, Springfield has nearly returned to normal, and the investigation into the incident has nearly come to a close. An extremely unorthodox Thanksgiving trial is to be held for a Ms. Joan Curious, disgrased Assistant Curator of the Springfield Museum of Natural History, who among a few others had the hefty charge of allowing mind control cola to be brewed in her workplace. Distressed on the morning of her trial after her lawyer revealed he wasn't being entirely transparent about his work on contigency policy, Curious sets out to find someone who can help prove her innocence: the one that got her caught in the first place.

Meanwhile, on an extremely unorthodox Thanksgiving Krustylu Studios tour that was postponed a month, Bart Simpson and Milhouse Van Houten sneak off from the group and pull a prank on Kent Brockman, but are cornered by security. All but doomed, they are suddenly vanished by a dark force and reappear on the parkway, along with Bart Simpson's Ferrini. Hesitantly, they get into the vehicle, and upon looking up notice that a ghostly spectre of a luxury car had appeared on the road in front of them. After following it all around Springfield, they are led to the residence of Joan Curious, who is under house arrest. Bart quickly recognizes her as the Curator, whom he had defeated with Apu in order to uncover the truth about Buzz Cola inside the Museum. Addressing his distrust and confusion, Curious explains to Bart and his geeky ally that she had summoned them there using magic tomes she found on site in some underground ruins near the Industrial Zone, which she used to ressurect the soul of her destroyed vintage Ferrini, and it was she who had saved them at Krustylu Studios using a vanishing trick that she learned at an adult education lesson at the Community Center, taught by Carl Carlson. She then tells her side of the alien conspiracy story to the duo.

Desperate for money to keep the museum operating after the trailer for the long awaited Bonestorm II had grabbed the attention of even the most studious citizens of Springfield, including her boss, 26 year old history graduate student and assistant Curator Curious had gone so far as to take up a second job locating trading cards around Springfield for a very generic looking man in a white shirt and red bow tie, who was looking to get them before a rival. She managed to find almost all of them using her vast knowledge of Springfield's nooks and crannies, but was unable to reach almost all of them due to her not being born with a double jump, as well as, she suspects, foul play and cheating on another collector's part. Only collecting 1 card, she was refused the reward, even though it was the most valuable one in the deck, she thinks.

Her financial problems were catching up with her, and her dented but reliable car was repossessed during one of her shifts at the museum and turned into a cube. She was kept awake for the 2 hours of offtime she had that night by calls informing her that her cube had been dumped into the Springfield River and that she had 2 hours to move her cube. Eyes bleary with tired before the clock struck six the next morning, she pushed herself through yet another shift at the Museum after yet another sleepless night. After discovering the line to the nearby coffee internet cafe was a seemingly endless stream of nerds waiting to write their factual and objective dissections of the new McBain film, Joan noticed that a 12 pack of the new and improved Buzz Cola had been placed behind her while her back was turned. She promptly drank all 12 cans and immediately felt her worries fading away, replaced by a wild streak that had been brewing inside her for years. She looked to the side and saw her dream car, a vintage Ferrini model, had also appeared next to her, and it seemed to call to her as her vision became clouded by a wonderful haze of purple. She was going to get her money, and this drink was the key. Even if she couldn't speak it.
