Act 4: Story Homer calls his father, furious, and demands to know what Grampa was thinking, accepting this land from Mr. Burns. Grampa finally remembers when he was given the land – apparently, everyone at the Retirement Castle received a gift of property for Arbor Day this year, which Homer would have known if he'd remembered to celebrate it like a GOOD son. Grampa then tells him that it's fine – the agreement was that even though he "owned" the land, it wouldn't really transfer to him as long as neither he nor any of his family ever stepped foot on the property. Homer immediately freezes, and Grampa asks where Homer is calling from, at which point Homer "mysteriously" suffers from a dropped call. The family pile back into the station wagon, utterly depressed and demoralized by this turn of events, with even Lisa unable to think of any way this won't end in financial ruin for the family. When they do finally arrive back at their home, they find out that they're not the only ones who have been affected by this – Dr. Hibbert's father was also gifted a parcel of land that contains a dump site, and Dr. Hibbert has just gotten back from a similar trip. But unlike the Simpsons, he's got a plan. It turns out that Hibbert has already contacted Walther Hotenhoffer, as he noticed something unusual about the dump site and wanted a second opinion. Walther tells the Simpsons that if they were willing to talk Grampa into selling the property to him, he'll assume all responsibility for it, to which Homer IMMEDIATELY agrees. With the property finally settled and not a problem anymore, the family is able to relax and enjoy Christmas. However, Lisa reaches out to Walther Hotenhoffer to ask what happened with the property, and he tells her that a new strain of algae in the toxic lake was discovered that not only feeds on and destroys the toxicity, but it can be used to create chemotherapy treatments that are significantly less damaging to the human body and will make millions. And as Homer is celebrating their good fortune, he is reminded that they sold the property for next to nothing and will see none of those profits. D'oh!
