While the family is admiring the eagle, it takes hold of Maggie and attempts to fly away before she is wrestled back by Homer, who has his hair stolen by the bird instead.
Bart and Milhouse set up a trap using the boardgame Mousetrap, with the eagle taking the bait and entering the house to capture the mouse.
Upon escaping the bag, Homer proceeds to beat the trapped bird before Lisa convinces him to instead nurse it to health and release it.
The next day, Musk discovers that Homer is filled with new ideas for inventions, and so meets Mr. Burns and convinces him to build a magnet-to-hydrodynamic generator for the plant.
Musk and Burns explain to the town that the plant has come up with plans for the city's electrical needs, including self-driving cars.
Bart and Lisa sneak into the family's car and disable the auto-drive mode using Musk's master password, and go for a joyride.
They end up at the plant, where Musk also explains that the town is losing roughly $50 million a quarter, much to Burns' horror.
The Simpsons say goodbye to Musk as he boards his rocket to space, musing that he will miss Homer's last thoughts to him.
Which would be less of a problem if the episode were well-thought-out and funny, Musk were an engaging comic presence, or the Simpsons themselves weren't relegated to supporting status on their own show.
