* {{Bowdlerise}}: Channel 4's broadcast of the episode makes the ending of "Unnormal Activity" a DownerEnding as it removes Homer agreeing to a three-way with the demons - the segment abruptly ends after Lisa's complaint of her not being the favorite child almost gets her taken by the demons. They take Maggie back, and it cuts to black.
