Someone's out to kill Homer, after Homer gets locked into a sauna by a hooded man — and only Sideshow Bob can figure out who that is.

Tropes:

• CallBack: Most of Homer's past enemies were from previous episodes, including the son of deceased nuclear plant worker, Frank Grimes.
• Dead Guy Junior: Frank Grimes, Jr. is the person trying to kill Homer.
• Recruiting The Criminal
• Why Don't You Just Shoot Him?: Sideshow Bob was asked why he doesn't just shoot Bart. He tried it at the end of the episode and it turns out he grew accustomed to Bart's face.
• You Killed My Father: The reason Frank Grimes, Jr. tries to kill Homer.
